Is that rule still true? I feel like the NCAA is gutting its rule book these days That said, I don't think anyone thinks they'll have any trouble beating at least one of the FCS teams and then five more FBS games. So it's a bit of a moot point as once you're eligible you're in. It's not like...

I think McCarthy is perfectly healthy and he's been making all the throws and saying all the right things on the practice field and in meeting room. Hence why the Vikings turned AR down. But ... we have absolutely no idea how McCarthy will respond in actual games. No one does. You can't really...

You talking about NIL deals that are essentially the (let's say "moral") equivalent of "no show jobs"? If that's what you're saying, then I agree 100% they have to go. I don't care if it puts bagmen back in business and drives bag money back under the table. That's where it belongs, I guess...

Gotta be Rodgers or Cousins to Saints now? If Rodgers didn't want Pittsburgh, why would he want the Saints?

They essentially already did exactly that with the House Settlement. NIL deals (from the school) to all athletes in total will be capped at I believe $20.5M per year. I was saying they could collectively bargain to bring that number up.

Well, simply as a means to force it along much more quickly than waiting around for Congress to do something ...

Would you be OK with the Exec Order if it said something as simple as "Student-athletes at NCAA member institutions have the right to collectively bargain with the NCAA for revenue sharing and similar benefits, without being required to be employees of the schools" and left it at that? Then the...

So now there's a UST board. And Twolves board. But no Vikings board? That's just absurd. It can't be a thing of having to pay more money to have more boards and/or more moderators. Otherwise, there's no way they would've actually paid more money to have a UST board. Come on. Vikings board

Not exactly the same point, but your thoughts on the NFL/NBA salary caps? I think they make the product vastly superior to pro leagues that don't have them.

I think a big aspect of the House settlement that isn't getting as much attention is that all NIL deals (third party or anything) will have to pass through and be approved by a clearinghouse organization, going forward. Meaning (this is me as a non-legal person making a guess) that the athlete...

I'm wild guessing mind you, but I think the reason the Rodgers to Vikings drama played out so long, is that they were having serious discussion behind closed doors. I believe Rodgers has come out and said that he pitched a $10M salary and being a mentor to McCarthy to the Vikings. But I think...

If I follow you correctly, you're saying a thing like "he has so much money, he doesn't need to take a non-start job". I'm saying a thing like "he has so much money ... he doesn't need to do anything. He can just well retire. But what would actually be a worthwhile proposition for him to not do...

Very unpopular opinion for someone living in Minnesota: hockey and baseball don't mean anything to me. Even with the Wolves, where NBA is the clear 2nd most popular pro league in the country ... it would be sweet, it would end the streak ..... but nothing will really scratch this itch like the...

Your point is fair. I should have added to the ideal backup criteria list: is not trying to be a starter! Lot of people think that instantly removes Cousins and Rodgers from the list. I agree for Cousins, I think he still have enough juice and now he will not be only a year removed from...

In the hole?

I know my opinion is less than worthless, just prefacing that first. What you (and others with similar comments) say here doesn't work for me. An ideal backup is a vet who also mentor's, and can still come in and win a game or two. That's not Howell, to me. I'm still hoping somehow Rodgers...

Is Howell really the backup?? I could see the #3 guy. We need a vet, to mentor McCarthy

By the end of tonight, both the Warriors and Wolves could win 4-1 over the supposed #2 and #3 seeds. They'll have to duke it out. Winner probably plays OKC in the conf final. Winner of that probably plays Cleveland or Boston in the NBA finals. It's quite a road!

Washington and Oregon also were able to split off from their state's respective land-grant Ag schools. Interesting (to me at least) is that ASU is not a land-grant Ag school. It would be equivalent to something like Illinois State University, in that state. But I guess simply by different...
