well, if Fla State joined the B1G, that means BTN gets more revenue because games would be in-market in the Talahassee market area. also more media coverage of the B1G conference could help with recognition and recruiting for B1G teams. and BTN and the other B1G media partners would have...

they could do that - but up to know, they have chosen not to. it is a choice. I maintain that it's also a reflection of the fact that the Football program gets the lion's share of the NIL money and will also get most of the revenue-sharing. does Coyle have the balls to tell Fleck - you have...

it's all about the money. Notre Dame reportedly receives $50-million a year from NBC for football. ND also receives roughly $17-million in revenue through the ACC. that's $67-million in revenue. which is comparable with what B1G teams receive and better than SEC teams. as long as Notre...

theory - Saunders would take a lower salary for the MN job - a key factor when you're trying to run a program on the cheap. the Gophers will wind up hiring a young coach because any established coach would laugh in Coyle's face when they hear what MN is willing to pay.

OK - FWIW - MN Star-Tribune staffers make their picks for Vikes/Rams Game: Mark Craig: Rams 27, Vikes 24 Ben Goessling: Rams 21, Vikes 17 Andrew Krammer: Vikes 24, Rams 20 Emily Leiker: Vikes 28, Rams 24 LaVelle E. Neal III: Vikes 26, Rams 24 Michael Rand: Vikes 30, Rams 27 Pat Reusse...

Rossi was "the man" on defense. then the defense had issues in 2023, and suddenly when Rossi left for MSU, there were fans excited about a new guy with a more aggressive approach. then Hetherman became "the man." now he's gone. prediction - as long as the defense stays relatively strong...

the estimates that I've seen are putting the initial price for "Flagship" at $25-30 - and that does include ESPN+. from Variety: ESPN’s Flagship direct-to-consumer service, expected to debut in the fall of 2025, will provide all the linear TV programming that is currently available on the...

when Fleck says MN is a developmental program, I guess it means coaches, too. If Winston DeL had a little more experience, I could have seen him as a candidate. but as others are speculating, will probably be Collins. he gets a lot of the credit for putting people like Nubin in the NFL and...

I take it things didn't go well. there is a possible answer to all of this: The Gophers are a bad team. Good teams find ways to win games - bad teams find ways to lose games. It does not give me any joy to say that. I always hope for the best - but I can't argue with what I see...

on the seeding - no seeding system is going to be perfect - because no matter how you seed the teams, somebody - or some guy - is going to complain about it. when you have teams from different conferences playing different schedules - and teams from within the same conference that only play...

I think there is a general consensus that the seeding has to be adjusted. let the P4 conf champs and the top G5 conf champ get automatic bids, but seed the tournament from 1-12. for a team seeded below the top 4 or 5, the odds of winning the playoff will be very low - but in the right year, it...

yeah. the version with the voice-over gets criticized because (supposedly) it was not Scott's preference. but that is the version I saw first, and I was fine with it. the voice-over emphasized the neo-noir vibe of the movie - putting Deckard as a futuristic Philip Marlowe. I know I saw the...

FWIW - Jim Bowden, former MLB GM - now a baseball writer for The Athletic - just put out his off-season evaluations for all 30 MLB teams. Here's what he said about the Twins: Minnesota Twins Grade: C- Free agents: None Trades: • Acquired C/1B Mickey Gasper from Red Sox for LHP Jovani Moran •...

long but interesting article - the short version: Minnesota's on-field assistant coaching pay will break a new record-high for the University at $5,505,000. That's an increase of around a million dollars compared to 12 months ago. Coaching salaries for 2025: Fleck - base of $6mill +...

this is what Randy Johnson said in the Strib: Roberson, 6-1 and 230 pounds, spent five seasons at Oklahoma State, playing mostly on special teams early in his career and missing the 2022 season as a medical redshirt before taking over as a starter in 2024. He finished the season with 58...

Mark Craig, writing for the Strib, does predictions for all the playoff games. He picked the Rams to win. FWIW.

the extension of the lease is tied to the continuation of the sales tax that helped fund part of Target Field - but only about 20% of the money generated by the tax actually goes to the Twins. a bigger chunk goes to support health care facilities. (from the Strib) Hennepin County leaders want...

St. John's is not a typical football program. going back to the Gagliardi days, they would let anyone join the team and would not 'cut' anyone, allowing them to dress well over 100 players for home games. but even back in the 1970's (when I was at Augsburg), St. John's didn't go deeper in...

before anyone asks - tonight's game is on Peacock. have fun, gang. I will be at a HS girl-boy basketball double-header tonight. girls game should be competitive. Boys game could be a mess - my local school is facing the #6-rated team in the state. They have a 6'7" post who is a D1...
