    Nonprofit NIL Collectives Not Tax Exempt

    Meant to put this on the basketball board, but I guess it's just as good here and impacts basketball and football. This doesn't seem remotely surprising to me. I know these collectives have been pushing the tax exempt status and I just didn't see why it would be exempt. You're putting money...

    Florida QB recruit bails because NIL deal doesn't come through

    This is a football story, but I'm sure it will happen with basketball. Florida's QB recruit, Jaden Rashada, is leaving UF before getting there. The reason given is that he signed an NIL deal with the Gator Collective for $13mm, but the financial backing fell through. Here is the article...

    OT: Tour of UConn with Teen

    I haven't been on campus in decades. I already know that it looks a LOT nicer. My wife and I are taking my son up for a tour of the school soon. I think we're going to get up a bit early before our tour and grab some lunch. My time at UConn would've had us eating at one of the bars...

    World Cup '26 Cities Announced

    MetLife and Gillette got games. But from my quick read, it looks like some cities dropped out before being rejected. It looks like (or it's implied) that FIFA wants payouts from the country host, and then separately from the cities in that country? I guess if you've got the product, you get...

    US WNT

    This soccer forum is certainly focused on men, but I do enjoy the women's team. I saw there is a thread in the women's basketball board, but thought it might be nice to have one here. Mods can delete if inappropriate. I haven't been too impressed with the women leading up to the Olympics...

    Ted Lasso and Peacock Premium

    Combing a couple TV comments: Ted Lasso: It’s totally formulaic (Major League?) and unrealistic, but my family is enjoying Ted Lasso on Apple TV+ (I got a free year, but it has sucked on the whole). I still have a few episodes left so don’t ruin anything! It’s good to see a soccer-themed...

    Andre Drummond staying in Cleveland

    I'm a bit surprised, but it looks like Andre is going to pick up his option. I have to imagine it's a financial decision, especially with an unknown financial impact of COVID. I can't see Cleveland turning things around next year...

    OT: Inflatable Hot Tub

    So I got my cornhole set (see previous post), but I need a bit more in the backyard for our continued COVID anti-social behavior. My wife is still mad that we didn't pull the trigger on a pool a couple years ago. I had the brilliant idea to get a hot tub instead and just keep the water cool...

    OT: Cornhole Boards

    I've always liked cornhole, and I thought I was good at it until I watch the pros on the Ocho. But I've never had my own set. I figure being stuck at home with my family is the perfect time to invest. Any suggestions? Victory Tailgate came recommended and they have a bunch of UConn options...

    OT: Short Trip to Austin

    Hey Boneyard, help me plan my short getaway with my wife (keep it clean). We're only there for a couple days. I think we have a couple things planned, but it seems like we are the last people to go to Austin so I'm happy to get recommendations. Any of the breweries/distilleries fun to visit...

    Lakers get Davis

    Lonzo, Ingram, Hart and three first rounders including this year’s number 4. Sounds good for NO if they were losing Davis anyway.

    Can't see basketball forum when logged in

    Was I banned? I haven't been able to see the basketball forum since yesterday (1/9) evening if logged in. I didn't see any other posts about the problem on the other forums, so I assume it's just me. If I log out, I can see the board and threads.

    Hopeful Prediction Thread (I NEED this team to be good)!

    I NEED this season to start, and I NEED UConn to be good. I have a feeling I'm not the only one. For years, this was an exciting and anxious time of year. The anticipation of UConn basketball starting. Then the season started and the first few cupcake games were fun appetizers. After a few...

    Next Netflix Series That I Can Download

    When I travel I like to binge watch Netflix series that my wife doesn't want to watch. Over the past 6 months I've finished Breaking Bad, Narcos, Ozark and Jessica Jones. Help me with my next time suck. Already watched Stranger Things (so good) and 13 Reasons Why (don't want my kids to become...

    Grayson Allen, Again

    He did it again? Duke's Allen, chasing ball, shoves FSU assistant I'm sure Duke will say this is only the first time that he has pushed an assistant and he was only trying to: i) protect himself from getting hurt; or 2) push the assistant away from harm like a good Samaritan pushing a kid...

    US Youth Soccer

    I'm starting this thread since I tend to clog up others with discussion of US youth soccer. I figure a separate conversation could make sense. So for the first post.... I know that there has been discussion on whether US youth soccer is training kids properly. I've mentioned that I believe US...

    OT: PS4 or XBOX ONE

    Sorry for the OT during basketball season, but this is a life or death decision! OK, it's not, but I don't want to shell out $350 for the wrong platform. I currently have PS3 and my 9 year old son is bugging me for the upgrade for his birthday in a few days. He also has a twin sister so we...

    Quick review of nACC boards

    So I was curious what UL, Pitt and 'Cuse fans were thinking of the latest realignment rumors and took a quick peak at their boards. I'm not a habitual lurker. The vast majority seem to think that the UNC, UVa, et al. rumors are total bogus and that the ACC is stronger than ever. I have no idea...

    Would we even be next?

    Considering each round of realignment / expansion, is there any reason to believe we'd even be next. UConn seems to be considered so low by at least a few schools that I can't even see more movement opening up a spot for us. It looks like the ACC has circled the wagons a la the Big12 last...

    Reject D1 Football Playoff

    Assuming that we end up with 4 "Super Conferences" with 16 teams in each. That leaves another 60 or so out in the cold. I think those remaining conferences should think outside the box and set up a playoff system. 1) I am a moderate college football fan that likes my team and others in the...

    UConn "physicality" theory

    Traditionally the Big East has been a physical conference. At tourney time that has hurt some BE teams, especially Pitt, that get too reliant on getting away with being physical. In my opinion UConn has traditionally been somewhat physical, but not brutish. I feel it has, however, hurt us out...

    Pre-Game at Rutgers?

    Does anyone know if UConn has set-up any meeting places in New Brunswick for before the RU game? If not, is there an unofficial Boneyarder spot?
