He looks a lot older than I remember him looking

Yes, that’s me right now.

Laughed way too hard. Thanks!

Interesting thought. Not enough money to work though.

Love that pay scale idea! Especially tenure forfeited if you transfer.

More Ohio State tears….. enjoy!!!

OSU got into the playoffs because USC had the balls to actually get into and play their conference championship. They should enjoy that and not worry about a trophy our guy deserved.

The sideline fireworks might top Saban-Kiffin

It sucks that Bruce Pearl and other coaches in trouble have to be fired by the team that loves them.
They spend a couple of years in the wilderness, then some random university gets to hire the great coach and all is forgiven.

The only group that ends up losing is the coach's original team. Pearl was never a scumbag in my book.

Then there are the really bad actors. Hugh Freeze put Ole Miss in the crosshairs of investigations and years of limited scholarships and (almost) a bowl ban , and he gets to come back to the SEC as a returning celebrity.
Liberty made sure Hugh Freeze didn't suffer much.

The only way anything remotely like this can happen is if there is a union and collective bargaining agreement executed.

Welcome to capitalism. folks. Workers (players) are employed and compensated based on perceived value to the employer. If they do not add enough value they are cut loose or relegated to scrub work. Just like in the real world.

For anyone to argue hypocrisy, they'd need to show that the same media members that flogged our players also gave him the award and/or a pass. Otherwise, it's a bit of a broad brush fallacy.

Unless those same media members chose to look the other way when others did the same thing.

It would work extremely well for the bottom 80%, but not at all for anyone good enough to get an nil deal

And the NIL transfers are what they're trying to resolve, so it borders on useless in a market-based economy.

I got on Twitter and started following several sports media members….. it didn’t take long to not care about anything that they have to say.

I hope you know I like arguing with you just because I think you like to argue.

Guilty. If there weren't a few dissenting opinions on here it would be a much more boring place.

@Enki_Amenra it all makes sense now.

Again this victim fanbase loves to be hated and zero in on everything as a perceived slight. A few blue checks on Twitter does not constitute "media" in my mind.

To be fair, it is every fanbase. Board to board, the posts sound EXACTLY the same. Shoot, I even somehow ended up on an EPL board one day and I swear their posts were word for word the same about everyone being against them, blah blah blah.

I guess that comes with tribalism and the narratives that come with it. It's just amazing seeing how ubiquitous it is across sports and fanbases. And each truly thinks they are unique or special. Maybe a symptom of delusion of grandeur, as if every fan's team is so important as to have multiple mass conspiracies going against them at all times - the media, the refs, their conference, division, league office, national office, local police, recruiting services, just name it.

You know it's wild when UK bball fans have a website dedicated to refs making biased calls against them and most recently Bama football fans complaining how their recruits always get dropped. Truly fascinating psych case studies us fanatics are.

ESPN did just call us the Taco Bell best people alive or whatever it was so I'm kind of over the "they're being mean to us" narrative anyway

Live mas award. Get it right! We earned it!

Put er in the trophy room

Back to the main topic of this post: who are visitors scheduled this weekend?

 

[KptVFL]

That's a lot of DBs!

 

[Ashevolle]

Matches have been great for sure. And as exciting as PK's can be, they are my least favorite way to decide a match.

Yeah, seems like sudden death overtime seems like a better system, but tradition says PK it is.

I'm in too. Whatever I can do to help.

 

[drvenner]

Fun day for the WC. Two games, two shootouts and the favorites to win the WC got ousted.

17 yellow cards in the Dutch vs Argentina match

I hate both games had to be decided by PKs, but I guess the game has to end at some point. Looking forward to the matches tomorrow.

This is not him trying to replace NIL, this is a standard revenue sharing idea that he has talked about for a while. The top players getting NIL will still get it and there is no cap on NIL money, for anyone. This revenue sharing would affect the bottom whatever percentage of athletes that don’t get much, if any, NIL. High NIL value transfers will still happen.

Not me, but close to where I live.


My neighbors are used to me walking into their houses naked. They stopped calling the cops years ago.
