No. They have signed a full roster of players and coaches (with UConn alum Shavar Thomas as HC) and based on online videos appear to be having scrimmages with other minor league (allegedly including a scheduled scrimmage with Athletic) and college squads. They are scheduled to play their first...

Only saw the end of the game. After Fagnano was sacked in the end zone and fumbled for a defensive touchdown I was cringing. Then he led a surgical drive down the field with a lot of it being on the ground but he also completed passes in critical situations. He may well have gotten himself...

"Fully invested in football" implies that there is a saturation point where all meaningful investments have been made and money can be safely allocated elsewhere. I see no evidence that exists. Football programs can and will always spend everything they can get. Behind the scenes I'm sure...

Not that anything is expected in this annual free agent portal era, but does he have two or three years of eligibility? Toledo listed him as a RS Sophomore but his bio says that he only played in 3 games in 2024 at West Virginia, retaining his freshman eligibility.

This is a complete over-reaction. I've been to a half-dozen major league ballparks, several NHL teams and other locations that use this method. It has worked every time. More important than my limited sample size, those teams combine to sell more than 10 million tickets per year. If it...

It should. It cost more than $1B about 15 years ago (probably closer to $1.5B in today’s $$).

Kind of hard to be taken seriously climbing on a high horse to justify hatred of a league when you are willing to join them when it is convenient for you. Hockey is obviously not even remotely as important as football, but ND still has made a major investment in it (ask the Compton family) and...

Well, except for men's hockey.

This is correct. That’s why you’ll see that the vast majority of academy portal entrants are sophomores.

If anyone wants to see the BC-SU game (and that's a real question) there are tickets available for $4 on Stubhub.

Unfortunately, no. It's not like the old days when they would cut some each week to gradually get down to target at the end of camp. Then, if you made it to the end of camp, you were pretty close to making the team. Now they go from the camp max of 90 to 53 in cutdown week. That was just the...

Did Dieng get sold to Minnesota? I haven't seen confirmation and yesterday was supposedly the close of the transfer window.

Most league charters provide for teams having an exclusive territory. If another team wants to move in they have to get approval and indemnify the original team. Hartford has to be in the Sun’s region. If it is, the league would be hard-pressed to claim in court that moving the team there is...

I looked it up because I was sure you were exaggerating. You did. You rounded up. You should be fair to Ole Miss and acknowledge that the most recent set of published stats indicate its acceptance rate is 97.78%. Unbelievable. No flagship state university should be in the "if you can fill...

The $5 per game facility fee that's included in those larger fees definitely goes to UConn. It has been used as part of the financing for the enhanced athletic facilities on campus.
