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...

The powers that be should have created an 8 league semi pro football league to argue that these players have alternatives to college. To avoid monopoly status. That's the crux of the issue, isn't it. Its no coincidence that the two sports where most of this angst is coming from are the two sports t...

Is it possible they’re not finished yet? Dude was still painting in the video. I guess the way they had the drone zoom out it made it seem like they were finished. Idk. Sure looks unfinished to me. I can't wait to go check out that site when everything is done. From a logistics and consistancy poin...

“Student-Athletes “…yeah , right. Thankfully the majority are. I have a son in law who played football and was a good student. I also have a grandaughter who plays college VB and just finished her freshman year with a 3.7. Just a tiny sample but there are many, many more. There are also many that y...

Based on two interviews I've heard, I would welcome my daughters playing for her, on and off the field.

I agree and have been impressed with all of the womens' sports hires over the last few seasons.

Important to remember that this settlement does not do away with payments from collectives. This is revenue sharing by the school. The collectives will still exist. Also have heard some legal experts who believe Title IX does not apply to revenue sharing. It deals with equal opportunity for educati...

I could very well see non scholarship sports in the department if this transpires or it will be bare min to meet title 9 requirements, non revenue / country club sports will get the slash. I would like the non-scholarship intercolliegate club sports (such as lacrosse or ice hockey) currently run th...

Hockey without a place to practice or play ? Again , staying within funds available. Perhaps we should just cut two men’s sports and put the savings toward something we can compete in , at least the conference level. Ever since they built the newer student rec center, I have thought it would be rea...

Don't know who these podcasters are or why it landed in my YouTube feed. But I thought this is really funny

https://www.collegefootballdawgs.com/post/a-look-into-this-potential-80-team-college-football-super-league Includes all “P5” teams, with ND and newly added SMU to round out 7 divisions of 10 teams. The 8th division would be the top 10 G5 programs who could be relegated each season. Non-football spo...

App is in the game. The offical App Football social media accounts put out pics of Kaeden Robinson on the cover on Wednesday with all the other schools. As exciting as it is to have this game coming out I am very skeptical of how "good" it will be when it comes to gameplay. EA has confirmed NCAA wi...

I have done the Eurorail thing in Europe multiple times and ride Amtrak whenever it is practical, but I am not anywhere as pro passenger rail as I was in my younger days. I am pretty skeptical that it is anywhere close to being worth the expense to catch up now. It would be nice to have such a netwo...

I'd forgotten we beat VCU that year. In fact, that was the year they upset Duke in the first round of the tournament. My wife went to VCU and had just talked me into moving to Richmond the month before that VCU game. I have long said that was the most fun App State game I have ever watched in perso...

What is the mission , the purpose of a college or university? How does this align with it ? It doesn’t. Well you could make that same argument for high school sports as well. That's why many don't have sports associated with schools in Europe. You play for clubs instead. At least at the scholastic ...

Yea Pittsburgh is definitely NE…. time will tell. Maybe I don’t know what you mean by NE. But neither Pittsburgh nor WV are in the Northeast or New England. Pittsburgh and WV are considered mid-Atlantic or the Rust Belt. They don't share many qualities with the NE at all. I've always said the Midwe...

The pictures and clips I saw of this looked like it was a whole lot of fun. Any big donors out there want to build a small ice arena in Boone? I wish I could. Even at the non-D1 club level, I bet ice hockey on campus could be a hit. There was a guy on my dorm floor who played club hockey in the 90s....

They really dominated that game, just a couple of cheap Kent goals back to back in the second put them in a hole. Great comeback to force OT. Too bad for Clark ending her career the way it did in OT. Its almost impossible to stop a goal when there is a 2 player breakout with no defenders in the area...
