Yep, that’s gonna be a problem. Not really. You don’t know who’s (or what’s) taken the other side. Kalshi Inc. eg benefits when supposedly walled-off Kalshi Trading wins bets over regular users. Wild West. Caveat emptor, but sports bettors aren’t generally the cautious type. Average joes...

I wasn’t even thinking about the Sherrone issue. We know Michigan has a laundry list of known recruiting violations in addition to the known creepy assistants and coach (and that’s not including Jim who is a wacko mess). In other words the known recruiting and program violations are probably...

I’d argue win the old fashioned way: pay (or convince) players and officials

I heard Pettiti is the sole holdout among commissioners in pushing for a 24 team playoff (for next year) rather than a more popular 16 team playoff proposal. My proposal is, hear me out, a 136 team 12 week playoff with subsequent elimination games between conference champions (decided on...

Looking over this among other things it caught my eye that AK was statistically good in 2025 (out in Piscataway) compared to his subpar performance here. Surrounding cast, coordinator, or development. Lindsey is starting from a higher base with better intangibles and (I believe) will be a...

No

What’s a male Karen Patrick? Gary?

I…don’t believe Troy. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I do not.

The real story. I suppose the argument for keeping Alabama was mostly about not punishing teams for conference championship games (sorry Bring ‘em fans!) but explaining away Alabama’s slide into comparative horribleness by the end of the season while dismissing Notre Dames stronger finish and...

Yeah I hesitated to sour the thread but it was a pretty epic rant, so Carry on

The number thrown around (not gonna check and not consulting “AI”) is 12-15% of payroll goes to a good starting QB in the NFL. So that’s around 1.5M+and he’s worth it, just getting started. DT…nope. That’s just a bad gamble at this point. Can’t tie up that much money in a guy who’s there for...

I hope the one band mom is cool with whatever accommodations, meals, travel times and transportation end up being offered..

I’m just saying I don’t like the guy, or his approach re: the SavingCollegeSports scheme. It’s a personal thing. So, I don’t want to see him succeed. I want his team to be embarrassed and run off the field. Petty? You bet. I realize Phil Knight is a booster, but I don’t see him trying to...

Their “expertise” will be equivalent at best to the in-house employees and consultants and very likely much worse, borderline incompetent. Smoke and mirrors without any accountability or real numbers or any credible plan to raise revenue that University employees and existing consultants...

I think we found our villain for the tourney. One of JMU/Oregon/Bama/A&M need to blow up this devious little weasel’s mercenary squad.
