What a game!

The NCAA stood by and did nothing. College football is big bucks. The NCAA could have figured a way to pay players based on graduation - if they graduate. It would still be dictated by graduation. It would still require the NCAA and schools to figure the pot of funds and divide. I agree it could/sh...

Mmm…..hmmmm, that’s right.

If you are going to pay them, pay them either minimum wage for the hours of athletic instruction per week or the going rate for all on campus student employment. I understand that they aren’t allowed to hold down jobs like normal students, but they shouldn’t be getting a kings ransom. I’ve never un...

I see a lot of biased opinions who are butt hurt that the old system is dying. Like it or not the courts got it right. If you want to blame anyone then blame the cartel of colleges that created the farce of amateur athletics to begin with. It's always been a farce. At least place the blame on the c...

Here’s a thought. If you want to play sports in college and get a free education but don’t want to be exploited by the school earning money off of you on TV, just opt out of playing in any competitions that are televised. Problem solved.

ECU sends Wake packing.

Before the sham NIT game, I would’ve pulled for Wake. No more.

Man, talk about both squads (and fans) living through the peaks of elation and valleys of despair…all in a span of an hour.

It’s like reading this thread pitch by pitch of our games.

Have our exit interviews been completed? Any idea where we stand portal wise? Seems like some have posted they’re returning but haven’t seen a portal yet. The official portal is private and exclusive to NCAA coaches. I believe that there is a portal behind the paywall at D1Baseball.com, but like th...

It’s hard to complain about 3 of your first 4 being picked up by the networks.

This year’s us vs Liberty has to be one of the biggest non-convergence G5 matchup ever.

Us @ Boise next year immediately trumps that. This could get ESPN2 noon kickoff billing.

That is a 10 am kick. No thanks.

Been thinking about this since I found out. Probably flying into SLC and driving up. Sounds like a plan. I’m going to try to do the same. How are y’all booking/looking flights 1+ year out? None of the websites are letting me go beyond April/May 2025. Not booking, just figuring out where to fly in a...

Making plans already. Im thinking of flying out Thursday or Friday and back Sunday. Where the heck is Boise State anyhow? (OK, sports fans, thats humor!) Been thinking about this since I found out.

Interesting. How so? I’m curious. My only thought as to why they would have to be contractors is due to the need to annually renew much like the current scholarship model. If you have limits on the number of “employees” that you have, then how do you cut loose underperforming employees? Is NC a rig...

The away NC State game in 2026 is still on the App schedule.

I don’t think that the series was getting canceled. Probably moving the game in Boone to a later date. 2028 2128 I suspect.

FIFY

Thanks. Announcement is forthcoming and then we will know.

So, we lose a home game in 2025, since we’re now going to Boise?

Correct, but we had three plus a game in Charlotte. We needed some home dates filled after 26 so it works out great.

I’m probably making this way to simply but why couldn’t the university sign a contract with each athlete saying that their scholarship and all the perks that come with it are payment for the universities use of their name, image and likeness. When you add up all the perks associated with an athleti...
