Came here to do a variation on this. With PJ Fleck, you're almost always going to have a game that should have been a win, taken away. On the other hand, you reasonably often get a game won that you didn't think should have won. Last year over USC, is the example that comes to mind. Granted...

The cap is going to increase around 4% per year, so there is that. In my mind, it would make more sense to do with caps/scholarships/Alston payments by sport rather than trying to lump it all together per school athletic dept.

Sorry if I worded it poorly, but I meant that Notre Dame, Mich, Mich State, and Ohio State were all in the old CCHA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Collegiate_Hockey_Association#Membership_timeline

It can be perfectly reasonable for a church to want to settle with someone to keep the church's name out of news articles associated with terrible allegations. I wasn't saying anything about religious (or non-religious) folks or anything of the sort, FWIW

I believe ND was in the old CCHA with Michigan, Mich State, and Ohio State in men's hockey (not sure on women's), along with the MAC schools and DII Michigan schools that had men's hockey. If it had stayed WCHA and CCHA, I'm guessing Penn State's new program would've also joined that league...

Zeppelin is right, I overstepped by calling it a cancellation. There wasn't some signed agreement or already part-way played deal that OU backed out of. I meant it in more in the sense of, I'm guessing that OK State would've kept playing that game, so I am making a wild guess that OU did not...

With the exception that SEC teams only play eight conference games, rather than nine like Indiana. Four SEC teams play P4 in-state rivalry games against teams from the ACC. Oklahoma cancelled theirs with OK State, and Texas had no inclination to start something up with say Texas Tech, TCU, Baylor.

I was much more referring to the stats & trophies of the other teams! Sadly, you're correct about ours. That comes down to the QBs we've had, as a big factor.

Well -- sadly in my opinion -- it is sustainable ... if you just continue jacking up student fees and essentially keep forcing the students to pay for all the stuff ...

^^ true, but "Super Bowl Era" is doing some serious lifting for some of those. Re-do the graph for 2000 and beyond (25 years!), and 2010 and beyond. :)

I made this up, I have no info: School and/or Church paid her off to make this go away? Not to keep the kid there, rather to get the story out of the news and make sure it never comes up again.

"Oh so you can COUNT!?!" "And YOU can count! On ME! Waiting for YOU! In the parking lot!"

The 25 season itself isn't being counted in any way. I'm saying that if 2024 had been the last season that the Vikings made a NFC champ appearance, and we were in the 2025 season you would say "the Vikings last made the NFC champ game 1 season ago". If it were 2023 instead and we were in the 25...

Would he not have a decent shot at playing right away this fall as a TE? Mainly just Geers? EDIT: I saw we did add a transfer who played at Purdue last year

The boys hockey team did OK! Yeah I know, football is more of a numbers game

I'm (obviously) not a lawyer, and I probably failed social studies class. Shouldn't this be a criminal case, not a civil one? Or can (almost?) every criminal case also be a civil one? Why have a duplicate set of laws?

Don't know if they'll get this done, but think it would make a ton of sense for both Big Ten and SEC to play nine conf games and then each school to commit to one more P5 (10 total), whether that's an in-state rivalry game (I think Wash and Oregon should be allowed to count their games against...

As far as I know, any DI school can "opt in" to the settlement, meaning that they can share up to $20.5M. I am not aware of any restrictions about having to share it over a minimum number or sports, or for that matter any balancing required between genders. I would hope that schools (ie...

OK, tried a little bit harder and found it. Lot of articles reporting that up to $2.5M of any new scholarships (above the old limits) counts against the cap. Also, previously schools were allowed to contribute almost $6k per year to student-athletes as so-called "Alston awards". For any...

I have never read the bolded part anywhere else. I think Scoggins got this wrong or whomever in the U athletic department told him that wrong. Or they incorrectly think that. Everything I've read about the House settlement says that scholarships have nothing to do with the dollar cap for...
