Pretty sure it’s been confirmed that the Wild are not on his no trade list. Also, the Athletic threw out a trade idea for Robert Thomas. Blues get Wally, Stramel and a 1st. Wild would get pretty thin at G but get a point/Game Center in return.

If Quinn and Jack were 4 and 2 was Luke born yet at that point?

I’d prefer Trocheck as well

What’s an acceptable price for Kadri? It appears he is on a 60 point pace for a bad team.

The Athletic is pushing Trocheck to the Wild again. They predict it will take the 27 1st, Stramel and Lambos.

Nice of Fox Sports to use a photo of UND players as the cover for an NDSU story…

Does this apply across the board or is it case specific?

So any former Gopher that didn’t exhaust their eligibility is able to return at this point? Just load up on guys playing pro in other countries and dare the NCAA to stop you at this point.

Touche. Bad choice of words. Should’ve said most/normal/average years rather than bad.

There have only been a handful of players that have left the Gophers for greener pastures. In fact many players that would have significant value in the transfer market have stayed. Try to refrain from being chicken little.

Does Title IX even apply if one team is full of independent contractors and the other is full of student athletes?

All sports besides Football and MBB need to go back to regional conferences. Cut some of the expenses of running those teams around the country. There’s no real reason to rack of these losses for those sports. Men’s Hockey is already rather regional given the number of members in the big ten...

If they do what you are talking about, they will be Michigan State/Purdue from this season in perpetuity. This team is currently competitive. In a good year, they could potentially be on the cusp of the CFP. In a bad year, they will be in a bottom end bowl.

Counterpoint: Dante Moore gets hurt and Raiola left hand flip passes the Ducks out of the CFP.

So, you want to chop the bread winner for the department off at the knees and hope the same amount of revenue keeps rolling in… If you spend significantly less than the rest of the B1G you will not be competitive. This isn’t a spend x dollars less lose two more games. It’s spend x dollars less...

If worried about the likelihood of athletes signing non-competes, why would they agree to buyouts that hurt? Also, what does “make the buyout hurt” look like? Miami just paid $10 million to poach Mensah.

Sure, I’d love to get into that discussion. Tell me how they get to contracts that are enforceable and stop free agency from occuring 24/7/365.

I think part of the difference between coach and player contracts is that it’s extraordinary difficult for a coach to join a team midseason but not that difficult for a player to join a team midseason. If it’s just a buyout added to the contract, what’s to stop a school from shopping on...

The athletic department spent $175 million last year. If every school sees the same p/l by sport as Texas outlined in the tweet above, it’s on football to make up that $100 million difference between total expenses and the media contract.

I’m pretty sure that these players are now contractors entering into contracts directly with the University with the introduction of revenue sharing.
