    Where is our commissioner?

    Her #1 job is to drive revenue for conference members. The BOHICA job that just happened will cost us NCAA credits, to the tune of a minimum of $2MM per snub. She should be camped on the headquarters lawn right now.

    Will we break our 7-way tie for 10th

    The elephant in the living room is the number of final 4s that were accumulated in much smaller tournaments. It's really only a relevant stat since the multi-bid per league era began.

    OT: Florida State to sue ACC over GOR

    It's not that complicated. The parties for the grant of rights contract are ESPN and the conference. Not the schools. The schools and the conference have their own contracts, which "give away" the media rights to the conference. The parties to the contract have seen it, and chosen (indeed...

    The Offensive Balance

    Biggest difference for me - I can’t recall any team having multiple elite passers at their position. Clingan, caraban, diarra, castle. All of them are elite passers. Everyone else is at least passable, if not good. All our other teams went through , at most, 2 distributor starters. After...

    Rick Pitino talks NIL

    St John's has only been successful when they could pay players legally (A "housing stipend"), and others couldn't. Genie's out of bottle, Rick.

    Toscano Family Ice Forum Impressions

    So, @freescooter , i owe you a small apology. While sitting through that debacle last night, and listening to the band - i thought of your earlier post. I think i heard what you're referencing, and i loosely agree with it, but i have a different remedy. They need to move the drums to the top...

    OT: Masters of the Air

    Totally in for this. Fun fact - I’m a descendant of Beirne Lay from the 100th, also known for Twelve o Clock high.

    Toscano Family Ice Forum Impressions

    As someone who has gone to TFIF a bunch (and headed there tonight): The biggest whiff, by leaps and bounds, is the "student deck." It's functionally useless, an eyesore to boot, and it just screams that this place was thrown together somewhat haphazardly. This kills me as a band alumnus, and...

    LOL - it's not our fault that the pep band draws from the excellent marching band, unlink most of the rinky-dink ADs we have to play against. You're just used to mediocrity - no thanks.

    2024 CT Ice Tournament -> Jan. 26-27 @XL Center (Championship Gm: UConn v. #7 Quinnipiac > Saturday @7p on SNY & UConn+)

    Bad call. Right from the rulebook: • Major only option considerations: -Whether the opponent put themselves in a vulnerable position by assuming a posture that made head contact on an otherwise full body check unavoidable. -Whether the opponent materially changed body or head position...

    Is "Sad Husky" the best Throwback Logo in CFB? Should it go on the Helmets?

    I call it "Grunting Jonathan," as it looks like it's dropping something.

    CBB review and analysis?

    Most of the articles are now the following morning, i.e. Hearst just posted Saturday's game recap on Monday morning. It's not worth any effort to post them.

    Ah, but you can't fool the algorithms!

    This is still the simplest and most correct answer to the OP. Kenpom, in particular, is meant to be predictive. It's amazing a thread like this starts right after a game KenPom predicted as a 2 point win, and we ended up winning by one, almost on the numbers, too. I always have the same...

    ESPN & NFL in advanced talks

    Every sports-facing broadcasting entity is taking on water. RSNs are in the wort shape, as they're most tied to carriage fees, and also the most tied to a single entity, so advertising is a tough sell in a down year. Bankruptcies all over the place, specifically due to the current rates paid...

    T-Swift - UConn

    How about this... You can't find a video of it because NOBODY CARES OR THINKS IT'S UNIQUE. You can also apply the first of those to PC and their basketball, too - it's a win-win.

    What is the end game in a P2 world?

    I'm a full-blown UConn football and basketball fan, and an alumnus. I follow my school, period. I might look at Clemson scores to converse with my many friends from there, but that's about it.

    What is the end game in a P2 world?

    He's just rooting for the death of football. Basketball, ironically, is already super fragmented, with 300+ teams - it actually suits the future model much better,

    ESPN & NFL in advanced talks

    Probably the first shot of many. Broadcasters won't be able to re-up at current rates, and every league has a broadcasting arm now. It makes sense.
