    Charlotte's Mayo bowl game suffered the smallest turnout in its 23-year history on Jan. 3.

    I assume someone paid. At least in the past that was the issue, band didn't have the budget for such things. Hopefully everyone's mom was satisfied with the accommodations this time ...

    Wisconsin Badgers are idiots

    If the decision is those choices. You let him go and say to the NIL folks "Yo we don't have a choice, you gotta write better deals ...". The issues of these NIL groups that do a crappy job seem like a big headache for the schools who aren't in a position to entirely ensure the NIL group does...

    Wisconsin Badgers are idiots

    The player requests the school put them in the portal and the school does the thing. The player can't do it themself. I'm sure it's just a leftover administrative thing (easier to manage the school training / support / accounts than thousands of players, validate academics (maybe)), but it...

    Wisconsin Badgers are idiots

    Hopefully Dinkytown Athletes has pretty straightforward and clear deals. Even just the idea that "we will pay you to stay out of the portal and here is the cash now" seems like a potentially bad choice. Would want to stay away from having to recover anything if at all possible.

    Mayo announcers may have been worst ever

    Cynicism does breed more cynicism. It's one of the problems with it. I'm pretty cynical about cynicism. Also I can't spell cynicism.

    Wisconsin Badgers are idiots

    Yeah there's nothing about "can prevent player from transferring IF" rules that I've ever heard / seen enforced. NCAA has largely bowed out of that fight (outside a couple of very specific eligibility type questions) and this is the first time I've seen a school try to enforce it in the context...

    Wisconsin Badgers are idiots

    Who is in the right here? Wisconsin doesn't have the NIL agreement with the player, so even if there is language in the NIL agreement between the player and someone else, I don't see WI being able to make the rules up as they go along and enforce that agreement ...

    Charlotte's Mayo bowl game suffered the smallest turnout in its 23-year history on Jan. 3.

    If we had some low level bowl game here in town, I'd go every dang game. But yeah I expect if you're a local and you step outside into that WIND. You look at your $10 ticket and you head back inside. Inside the stadium it wasn't that bad but man outside. I was with a group hiding behind a...

    Charlotte's Mayo bowl game suffered the smallest turnout in its 23-year history on Jan. 3.

    It was really cold tough. Outside the stadium it was WINDY. Even in MN "man that was a cold game" would have been repeated.

    Charlotte's Mayo bowl game suffered the smallest turnout in its 23-year history on Jan. 3.

    Most of the locals didn't know about it for sure. However, there were streetlight banners.

    Charlotte's Mayo bowl game suffered the smallest turnout in its 23-year history on Jan. 3.

    Bowl attendance is down but ... I think we've seen the focus is really on TV anyway so. The real question attendance for me is will those middle games in the playoffs attract fans long term. How many trips can we ask of people? Even pro sports do not do neutral site playoffs, and certainly...

    Charlotte's Mayo bowl game suffered the smallest turnout in its 23-year history on Jan. 3.

    Pretty much a local vs local setup so .... yeah it's down ;) They've been lucky with a lot of local games it looks like.

    Charlotte's Mayo bowl game suffered the smallest turnout in its 23-year history on Jan. 3.

    So the turnout was 31k. What are the other historical attendance numbers? 23 year lowest could still be not a huge variation in attendance...

    PJ was hired 8 years ago today. What grade would you give the Fleck era?

    I'll give him an A He's beaten the teams we wanted to beat, done things nobody in recent memory has.

    What’s needed make a step up?

    Honestly, A little bit of dumb luck with players... It's an unfair game, there's no magic that makes the thing fair / gives us the advantage.

    I always feel sad when I hear folks talk bad about Williams Arena .... I feel like they'll trash it one day to "upgrade it" and it will be just like every other arena with barely anything left and we'll never get that vibe again. I do remember near the end folks talked a lot about how bad...
