Re: NCAA and Prig5 anti trust settlement

I see a lot of biased opinions who are butt hurt that the old system is dying. Like it or not the courts got it right. If you want to blame anyone then blame the cartel of colleges that created the farce of amateur athletics to begin with. It's always been a farce. At least place the blame on the c...

Re: NCAA and Prig5 anti trust settlement

The powers that be should have created an 8 league semi pro football league to argue that these players have alternatives to college. To avoid monopoly status.

Re: 2024 Schedule

It will be interesting to see how our South Alabama game on ESPN does with ratings vs other ACC Thursday night games. It will be a good measuring stick to see how relevant we are. There shouldn't be much other football on that night. We know South Alabama is a good team, but for the casual fan, the...

Re: 2024 Baseball Mega Thread

I can tell you from personal experience, in my mind the toughest decision for a coach is when to change pitchers - sure, sometimes it's obvious but that's not usually the case - UNLESS you have Mariano Rivera, John Smoltz, Billy Wagner or Dennis Eckersley down in the pen. However you really just ne...

Re: ESPN Top 10 G5 that can make playoffs

The other wrinkle the CFP committee added last year, is your 12-1 team healthier than the other 12-1 team. An injury at the end of the year could hurt.

Re: 2024 Baseball Mega Thread

It is hard to argue you are the "Most Valuable Player" in the conference if your team did not win the conference. Yes...you were valuable but not valuable enough to win the conference. Only valuable enough to place 6th. Just a thought. Banks definitely lifted us from 10th to 6th by himself. Great p...

Re: NC State series in danger?

If this comes to fruition, we should sue NC State. We have a signed contract and then they go and contract with another school to play on the same date, it is a classic breach and we should enforce our rights. I am really tired of watching all these chicken #$%$ schools finding ways to back out of ...

I think the two teams in the finals of the SBC Tournament are in if it is any of the two in the top 75 rpi. I think 4 will make it. I think if Appalachian or Georgia Southern make it to the finals they will be in with Louisiana, Coastal, Troy, JMU, App or Georgia Southern if in finals. We shall see....

Re: G5 Poll

The one FBS split I could support is the pays NIL vs Does not pay NIL. I also could get behind a top 25 for non paid NIL. Any other split is a joke in so many ways. Different ways. The fact that UCF is considered non g5 and we are considered g5 is on such way. UCF is one of many on that list.

Re: Is it time to rethink the sports we offer ?

I am going to go back to golf because Stonewall is speaking golf often on this thread. It would not kill us if we gave up golf but raising money for golf in the area App is located should be easy. You could literally get each country club in the area to sponsor a golf scholarship. I bet each course ...

Re: Is it time to rethink the sports we offer ?

I get what you are saying but I would have to see some numbers. I would think the golf team could get money from some of the local country clubs to be cost neutral. IE Grandfather, Linville Ridge, Elk River, BOONE and others in the area. I think the new golf coach will reach out to them and be prett...
