They had their best draft classes after Pioli left. Pioli left in 2009. Chung, Vollmer, Edelman, Gronk, Hernandez, McCourty, Solder, Cannon, Chandler Jones, Hightower joined in the first 4 yrs after Pioli.

Or, the team got old. It was the 3rd time they needed to be rebuilt since Belichick got there.

The world is depending on this decision. Humanity cannot proceed until we know.

That's another sport. Baseball. And the poor kid never made it out of the pony leagues. He was last seen running around the Astrodome in between innings.

All I can say is I had two of their top TVs die in 6 months. $1k 75 inches. My model was the 75S535 And their customer service was beyond bad. If you look at the reviews on amazon, a lot of people had the same problem I did with that TV. Squealing when you switched channels, it turned off and...

I didn't say I returned it. I bought a $1k TCL that died within the month. They replaced it with a new one. That one died 6 months later, out of warranty.

Just don't buy a TCL. Go with a reputable company. I bought this thing last year when my TCL (less than one year old) died and it was a replacement TCL for the earlier one that died after one month. Samsung - 65" Class Q60C QLED 4K UHD Smart Tizen TV I like this Samsung 100%!

The reason I find this latest development hard to believe is SMU, Cal, Stanford. I thought that FSU was full of it prior to last year when the ACC panicked with crazy additions. Something doesn't smell right.

Oh, I didn't say that. Nor would I want that. But the accounting will be clean. It will be a separate unit with its own bills.

I apologize for all the confusion.

The ACC is far and away better than the B12 in basketball. The B12 is just lacking in bball. Since 2010, here are the respective records: 1. UConn 4 national championships 2. ACC 4 3. B12 2 4. BE 3

Well, you know, it's not like the topic here is the most important thing in life either.

If they can move money back and forth at will, they can hide profits, hide losses, hide money from players, etc. I think that era is going to come to an end. The courts have not yet addressed what is this new relationship between ADs and players, but they have to do it soon. The first tax bills...

?? Then university owns Gampel, right? And it owes no money on the Rent. But I'm sure there are a ton of new hockey, soccer, baseball, basketball and football training, facilities that it owes a hefty amount on. I'm just saying that IF they wanted to run it all like a business (and with Smash...

8? Alabama Texas Georgia USC Ohio St Michigan That's amazing that so many other schools would be left out of that permanent status: Washington Oregon UCLA Penn St Wisconsin Florida Florida St Texas A&M Tennessee Oklahoma LSU Which 2 of these 10 schools do you include? And you know it's got...

If this is very forward thinking, you need private equity. Schools will need to establish an employee-employer relationship with the players. The athletic programs will need to establish a business relationship with the universities. Money will be needed to figure out the relationship of ADs...

Let me reiterate my starting 5: Emeka, Rip, Ray, Kemba, Shabazz.

The problem with wanting the tourney money is they already got the idiot judge to agree to a plan that takes all the tournament money to pay past FOOTBALL players. Bizarre.

https://www.insidehighered.com/news/students/athletics/2024/10/09/super-league-big-time-college-sports When the industry newsletters are reporting it, you can be this is heating up. My only question is, what does this even mean? "But the status quo is untenable for the long term, which is why...

My top 5 leaves off Clingan, Donyell, Rudy Gay, Caron Butler, Tristen Newton, Ben Gordon, KEA, Sanogo. Leaving Rip, Emeka and Kemba off is interesting. Emeka, Rip, Ray, Kemba, Shabazz. Starting 5.

Every August, Peacock has a special. $19 for the entire year. I hit it up every year, but I also watch a lot of Premier League on that channel, and they do also have exclusive movies of the month on it.

Politicians don't need to do anything here. It all depends on how ballsy our agency heads are. The current ones are enforcing antitrust law.

Well, that was interesting. I have to say, life as an independent is tough. Conference affiliation affords you different treatment from announcers... and from others.

Antitrust courts and agencies being what they are right now, yes indeed. They can get themselves into trouble easily.

We're com paring the whole league for heaven's sake. This is the most ridiculous argument

Advanced. That's the key word. They have. Winning a championship is better than getting to a championship once in a million years. But you're right on Marquette, Shaka Smart sucks. You're right on that one.

Holy cow, the B1G is about to add UNC and Virginia this week.

Villanova, the 2x National Champion in this decade. Creighton, which has performed and advanced more than Gonzaga. Marquette, which is highly ranked. UConn, which has won the last two national championships, and 4 in the last 15 years. This was too easy. I blew you out of the water. This...

Who impresses you? Boise State? In basketball?

Should have let them leave. Fine, do your own national championship in basketball. Which doesn't include several recent champions from the BE, ACC, and B12.

If these are indeed better teams, then they are about to find out what happens when the competition increases. For too long, the MWC and WCC have skated by inflating records against weak competition. This is why the MWC got 2x as many teams as the BE in the tournament, and then promptly...

11 games on Network TV. That's got to be an all-time record for UConn. Are you kidding me? Expect massive ratings this year. FOX, CBS, NBC. ESPN is totally excluded from showing the hottest thing going in college, outside of the Maui tournament.

Those are games on FS1 and FS2. I mean, UConn is a hot ticket right now

To quote Pink Floyd, "The Dream is gone...I have become Comfortably Dumb." The fact that I really dont care about Amore's article says it all. Plus, UConn football TV right might actually be worth almost as much as the P12 rights if you subtract travel from the P12 rights and also the...

What kind of showcase allows the fans to physically abuse players who get dunked on? I mean, there can't be a lot of high quality talent out there in a showcase like this.
