Tell me you have no business experience without telling me you have no business experience. Businesses pay expenses before businesses pay investors. Businesses that do otherwise are soon insolvent and they and there investors are being sued for defrauding creditors. What expenses of the WNBA...

Agreed. The U shouldn't be afraid that he'll leave. He shouldn't get a raise. In the portal era, supposed stability is meaningless.

I would guess at a $5 million loss, none of the games turn as profit. Why does WBB get any revenue sharing? Why do we pay coaches high 6 figure salaries? Is that pronounced "icks?" Also maybe consider sarcasm. When factoring media revenue, FB produces 75% of the department revenue but is...

Cut WBB.

Davis is the California University system Ag campus. Although it's an FCS school, its a pretty big school and has an impressive endowment.

Portal closed the 16th at midnight but processing continued through Tuesday.

I was somewhat indifferent to Indiana FB. I viewed schools like Indiana as a good reason for expansion - add the top PAC teams and play the Indians less. But I love the story here and while we can all bitch and moan about the portal and NIL and all that's wrong with CFB, and I agree there are...

I'd say the probability of a donor like Mark Cuban emerging is low but not impossible. Skeptical donors may have previously believed their efforts would be in vain. I think Indiana showing it can be done at a place like Indiana makes it more probable.

I'm curious how the extra $15 million, other than the upgrade in talent, makes PJ a national championship contender?

Yeah, why not dream? The naysayers - and they'll show up here -will say it's lightning in a bottle, but so what? Why play and why be a fan of if you think that it will likely never happen? Good for Indiana and why not here? Why not us?

As far as I know, the B1G still requires its institutions to honor 4 years of scholarship, rather than year to year. I don't know how the portal interplays with that rule.

Is there a caveat to the B1G scholarship rule that says you lose your scholarship by entering the portal? I wonder what value the portal really is to the player if they know they are leaving a school. Why not use the Jake Retzlaff maneuver?

This year's playoff has been fun. I've previously been against an expanded playoff being of the belief that there's a big gap between the top 4 or 5 teams and everyone else. Maybe this year is the exception and not the rule, but if this year ends up becoming the norm (and I think it could with...

Sorry. I should know better...

No, I have dividend paying investments, receive 1099s (probably about to be delivered)and those earnings are taxes as ordinary income. I'm not talking about unrealized gains, which are not taxed, or the sale of assets, which would be realized gain and subject to capital gains, which are taxes...
