No kidding! Wouldn't you at least prepare a statement and rehearse it a few times?

You're right, there's probably people who would stop watching and it'd be a break even situation in terms of the number of fans. I guess it would reduce travel costs though.

Nice post. Maybe another angle, and this isn't meant to come off as rude, would be to have them play more locally. I don't really care how most of these teams (men and women's) compete against other big ten schools, but I'd be interested in how they compete against local schools. Like, I'll...

I'd be interested to know the history of college sports and scholarships. Did sports exist first without scholarships, and then as money came in they started sharing it? And then as more money came in than could be spent, did they start increasing the number of non-revenue sports? But yeah...

Let them continue. If they are competing for the love of gymnastics or swimming, fine, but you don't need a scholarship to do it. We have art because someone wanted to make it. If they managed to sell it and live off of the money, great for them. As for the art degree, it wouldn't bother me...

I think the problem is for every one person that would actually take the program and use it the way you describe, there would be 10,000 people who just grab it and walk with it for a bit and then toss it at the next trash or whatever. Or worse, just let it sit on their seat for someone to clean...

Not really sure what kind of personal mission you think I'm on...? Your sarcasm aside, I think you guys both know what I meant - that if the NCAA tried to vacate wins, post-season accomplishments, etc. that no one would care and people would still give that team credit for winning the CFP.

"do" it well, right? "That's all we do, and we do it well." I remember those commercials from summer vacations of childhood.

Well he just punched his ticket out of town. Doesn't he know his boss wants the conservative bend and then (hopefully) don't break defense?

Thanks for the clarity. Maybe they can rely on boosters and such until a new TV deal is reached, or Clemson and FSU and Miami just leave and then the rest are left hopelessly behind with the G5 teams. Curious, as you follow the news quite a bit on these things, is there a timetable of when the...

Because everyone has the opportunity to do it? I'm in software. Google, Microsoft, etc. pay top dollar and get the best candidates every year and other companies sort through the rest of the available talent. Those other companies have the opportunity to pay up and get that talent too, if...

Yes. But the post I was replying to was referring to schools cutting sports to pay football and basketball players and I believe @SON was making a comment that if a B1G school has to make cuts in spite of all the new revenue.... I'm not aware of any schools considering cuts to sports programs...

Apples and oranges - non-P4 conferences aren't in this ridiculous arms race. They aren't going to pay players directly, so they'll just continue on as-is.

Well right now that's the rule. It wouldn't surprise me if the P4 got together and decided to just ignore it. And who cares if the NCAA even could do something about it - the people picking the teams for the CFP are FAR, FAR more important right now than anyone in the NCAA. Heck, even if the...

So basically you're saying it sucks for the people who were getting room and board and tuition from money that other people were generating. Yeah, in a twisted way it probably does suck for them. But they shouldn't have been getting those benefits to begin with. If you can't generate a profit...

Feel free to offer up solutions. As far as I know, there's no way to tell if a person is under the influence of marijuana or not (it seems obvious that's what you're referring to, mj). So just because they find it in a person's blood, how do you know that person didn't consume it a week or two...

You need to stop confusing alcohol in your stomach with alcohol in your blood. The difference between the two situations is what people are trying to explain to you.

Yeah, used to be 0.10 all over the place and then everyone made it 0.08.

I'm not a lawyer, but I'm 100% certain that refusal is considered the same as a positive test. As for your second question, requesting a lawyer just means you won't talk/be interrogated without one, has nothing to do with being arrested or not (i.e asking for a lawyer will not change whether...
