The day the music died. This was just posted on https://basilicablockparty.org/. They paused the show in 2025, now it's gone for good. This was one of my favorite venues for music. ... too many regulations killed it.

The Goodfeet people should get him an NIL deal.

Another U of M man transfers to the U of M. Kind of an interesting pipeline to get players - I'm on board with it.

By this time next year he’ll have back-to-back national titles, both at the U of M.

Brock "Mr. Irrelevant" Purdy seems to be doing okay.

There are millions of kids who bought Jordan basketball shoes.

Only if you pay for Amazon Prime's "Live Announcer" plus up, at a cost of only $9.95 per game. Otherwise, in Amazon's efforts to help you, the viewer, reduce your costs, you'll get the AI-generated voice of Homer Simpson calling the plays. Oh, and if you want multiple camera views of the games...

That's just the first half. For the second half you have to head over to Paramount+, and if it goes to overtime, that'll be streamed on Apple TV.

As you just posted yesterday, "we shall see my friend. I would bet more than one school spends 100M Plus on a roster in the next few years." There are very few schools that could compete in that scenario.

What part of it do you feel is illegal? Note that the EO doesn't prevent schools or players from doing anything; it just states that if they choose not to follow the guidelines, then there's a chance they won't get federal grants. Schools and players can make their own choice. Sure, this will be...

IMO, the current state of college sports is not sustainable. It used to be that non-helmet schools had a chance to compete by recruiting "diamonds in the rough" and, through coaching and development programs, those 'cruits would become contributors to a successful team. Now that's gone. Every...
