More trouble in ACC paradise?

Offseason clickbait AI slop is not a "report".

Family member is on the faculty. Not AI slop. FYI faculty isn’t supportive of that move

The Big Ten’s official name until 1987 was the Intercollegiate Conference of Faculty Representatives until 1987. Remarkably, even today, each NCAA school (even the P4) has a faculty representative to the NCAA. I guess this will be the case until non students are allowed to compete for schools’ athletic teams. But unfortunately, the faculty voice, while once relevant, is becoming much less so, particularly in Division I. Go figure.

Academics have nothing to do with top level college athletics. Those athletic departments manage football and basketball programs that are professional sports franchises.

-> A “chunk of the latest increase stems from the roughly” $22M Florida State is spending to compensate athletes through revenue sharing. The Seminoles are also “planning to spend more money than ever” on football staffing, including the hiring of a new GM and several staffers in the scouting department. There also are “additional expenses coming up for maintenance across the department and Title IX improvements.” AD Michael Alford pointed out that FSU is in an “especially challenging position because of the relatively stagnant annual distributions” generated by the ACC. Alford explained to Trustees that his staff has “studied options such as cutting selected Olympic sports programs and reducing the budgets of sports across the board,” but he said that neither “seem to be prudent solutions.” <-

I wonder if @billybud is still with us.

Isn’t he the poster who crashed his Durango into a building years ago?

I wonder if @billybud is still with us.

I think he finally completed his lifelong goal to put the entire board on ignore. He's still posting, but none of us can read them.
