Re: Staff Reductions Coming To ADs
We will just have to disagree on that one. Honestly, what is there to disagree with? My post was not an opinion; it is a fact. The Supreme Court is tasked with interpreting the law for our country, when they say something is unlawful (broken) then it is. You can disagree with the ruling, but it is ...

Re: Title IX Lawsuits
I should clarify that it is illegal in the state of NC for unions to enter into collective bargaining negotiations. https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&sca_esv=97d2e28a3f4a1e73&hl=en-us&cs=0&q=North+Carolina+General+Statute+%C2%A7+95-98&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiSvqf7pKuOAxU_L1kFHVAFGZ0QxccNegQIHRAB&...

Re: App Bets
A bet either way seems risky give the turnover to the roster and coaching.

Re: Title IX Lawsuits
There will have to be a 180 degree turn for universities to allow student/athletes (can we still call them that?) to be considered employees and have the right to unionize. Time will tell but I don't see it happening. In most cases, it isn’t up to the individual universities. Public universities ha...

Re: Title IX Lawsuits
The law won’t change for rank and file employees. At least not anytime soon. An exception could possibly get the votes but might be open to a court challenge. Likely would be. That what I am thinking. Do the state lawmakers want to, of will they feel compelled to open that Pandora’s Box? Especially...

Re: Title IX Lawsuits
So here’s an interesting “chicken or the egg” question based an extremely quick Google search. In order for there to be a CBA, the athletes would need to be unionized. Currently, it is illegal for state employees to unionize in the state of North Carolina. I’m sure state lawmakers can change the law...

Re: Staff Reductions Coming To ADs
Equipment budget is not the first thing I think of when cutting spending in a university athletic department. I would think it would be the last place to see cuts. Yeah that seems like a pretty misguided place to cut, but I guess there are no great options. I was also under the assumption that Nike...

Re: Eastern NC BBQ
I interned in Lexington one summer while at App and ate Speedy's or Lexington BBQ for lunch at least 3 times a week. Good times. But I like Texas style brisket best.....sorry, I know I am a disgrace to every other native North Carolinians, and will now see myself out. No shame. I actually smoked my...

Re: QB1 battle?
I feel like it still pretty wide open. Neither of them demonstrated control over the offense after spring but that wasn’t a surprise. I agree with you. Neither ran away with anything from the spring game. I personally do think whichever one wins the gig we will be in good hands. I think that all fo...

Re: Boise Tailgate
Are you talking about the game and situational coaching or the actual alumni tailgate being a fiasco? Yeah, they were both bad but I was talking about the tailgate. The venue was way too small for the crowd and getting a seat, food and a drink was almost impossible. As far as the game we had it won...

Re: Staff Reductions Coming To ADs
You’re spending a lot of time arguing something that is almost certainly going to happen. Now that programs are sharing revenue with the players, the administrative bloat is going to be cut from athletic departments. Saban created the model of huge support staffs and assistants coach pools in a day...

Re: Staff Reductions Coming To ADs
I guess no AD should ever cut a position or sport unless they have been a coach in that sport now? Trev Albert cut wrestling and it was not like he was a wrestling coach. I said I don't know what all that our specific coaches do daily but I know what basketball coaches do. When other schools have l...

Re: Staff Reductions Coming To ADs
I love how you pick apart one sentence I said and ignore all the other stuff. I know what basketball coaches do and my whole point is that other schools have smaller staffs so we don't have to have 6 coaches. If other D1 schools can have 4 then we can. I am just saying if they can do it fine then w...
