Re: NCAA and Prig5 anti trust settlement

This allows the top dawgs (pun intended) to use unlimited resources that they will have to throw all kinds of money “now legally” at as many players as they want. Yes there are only so many that can be on the field at any point in time but they will hoard resources.

Re: NCAA and Prig5 anti trust settlement

Can I get some of that $2.7 billion?

I was in school in ‘80s but didn’t play sports because they weren’t paying players then so I deserve compensation for preventing me from getting money.

Sarcasm but there will be a ripple effect.

Re: NCAA and Prig5 anti trust settlement

Once this model goes into effect the players are only going to be paid employees with no requirements on being a student or academics. It will be a professional sports team/business (just like NFL/MLB/NBA) owned by the school. Nothing more. Eventually the owners may be a conglomerate of people that ...

I’ll be happy with the 2024 Sunbelt Championship. The playoffs are a pipe dream How did George Carlin put it about the Country Club https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nyvxt1svxso I don’t think the playoffs are a pipe dream. Difficult task, yes. For now, one G5 team gets in, so we might as well aim for...

Re: NC lawmakers to force UNC, NC State to play in-state schools

I don't want legislatures to get involved with sport either, HOWEVER, this really is getting at a problem with spreading state money around to state funded institutions. The problem we are seeing is that UNC and NC State are participating in a group (P4) that is intentionally excluding, like a monop...

Dabo needs a big win over App to quiet down the boosters. He's still recovering from the puppet show he put on in front of the media last season.
Clark needs a big quality P5 win to kickoff the season and put us on the CFP trajectory. Ponce needs to unleash Aguilar to shread the Tiger defense.

Choking about this really? Have a kid on the college campus yourself like me and see how funny it is. Just to clarify, I am not making light of the serious nature of this incident.

Re: Portal season (Abson, Spillers, etc)

Depends on the scenario for me and who they go to. If they go to any other conference member, UNC, ECU, or Charlotte, I’d hope they fail. I wouldn’t be happy if they went to Duke, Wake or State, but I wouldn’t hope for their failure. Also depends on why they are leaving. For instance, in Xavion’s c...

Re: Stabbing Reported on App State Campus

Maybe if we enact knife control laws this will eliminate all these stabbings across the country. Only plastic knives in US. Oh, plastic is bad for environment so that doesn't work.

But seriously I hope the injured is not serious. We don't know the whole story yet so who knows what really happened.

The game won’t make or break the season. Make no mistake, a championship is the expectation but it doesn’t run through Clemson South Carolina. If we win at Clemson AND run the table on the rest of our schedule, make no mistake that will make a difference. That is how Cincinnati got into CFP that ye...
