Why? I wouldn't want my compensation published.

Baylor has a player on their basketball team this year who was drafted in the 2023 NBA draft (James Nnaji and there are a number of college teams pursuing Trentyn Flowers who has played in 8 NBA games (currently in the G League). It's coming and I agree with you about a CBA.

They've already been told they will lose and get an injunction that would stop them from implementing the rule. It would take an act of Congress to slow this down.

I think the single season numbers are real but when the players get multi-year deals, those numbers are about as real as the NFL's. As far as not believing the numbers generally, I don't know why someone wouldn't. College football is clearly big business, why wouldn't programs invest in the...

Flores will be a tough sell for a lot of owners as HC. He is seen as both a liability in being too tough on support staff but also suing a former employer. It's really hard to hire someone you know might sure you if you ever fire them. I'm with you Ogie, I think he got some awful short-sighted...

He was banned. He was Rockraven and he is also another poster on here who posts more on the basketball board. It's a dead give away. He is really dumb. He does internet tough guy stuff. He talks about blowing dudes a lot (seriously). He is willing to take this bet because he will just to...

Yep, we've already seen it in basketball. It's still a no-brainer for the top 10 pick type of players, but a lot of players can make more money returning to school to develop. It's better for the pro leagues as well.

I think Michigan fans pretend to hate Meyer because they want to say his success at tOSU is tainted but they would also take him in a heartbeat. If they had any shot at Kiffin, they'd have taken him.

Yeah, you know you're in a bad spot when you're longing for the days of Ed Ingram and Bradbury.

The best players are worth these giant contracts, the key is not to miss.

I can just see the president of the university reading the 70th story about abortions and OnlyFans models and finally snap and say "Go hire a G D Mormon".

Yeah, he had been starting for the most part of the year because Greenlaw was injured in the Super Bowl the season before. He was literally hired as a stop gap. Greenlaw returned from injury in like week 15 of the next year and Campbell moved to his reserve position. During that game, San Fran...

I have no idea if this is it, but they did have bad timing. They bought a company with a ton of debt and all of the regional sports networks are losing viewership. Their plan was to buy a ton of them and then merge them into one entity and I just think the amount of debt they had to take on is...

I've seen people outright sell shares of their bet as well if you're having a hard time finding enough ways to hedge.

That's when I had season tickets too. At the time, I lived in Minneapolis and worked downtown. I couldn't give the tickets away. I had these conversations once a week: "Hey, do you wanna go to the Wolves game tonight?" "The Wolves stink" "Yeah, but you'll get to watch Dwight Howard up close"...
