    Official 2025 Opening Week - Georgia Tech Thread

    The amount of rationalization in this thread is nutz. "The Defense did enuff" - are you crazy. At halftime I expected GT to win based on the fact they had turned over the ball 3 times and were ahead 13-10. CU's defense was not stopping them, they were running the ball at will. The...

    Shedeur Sanders - 2023-25 Tracking History Thread - Drafted by the Cleveland Browns (NFL)

    Arch Manning projections are all based on hype not performance. I know OSU is a good team, but UT is built for those type of games. Watching Manning yesterday reminded me of the critics who have said he cannot be that good because he is playing behind Quinn Ewers. We will see how it...

    Official 2025 Opening Week - Georgia Tech Thread

    I think CU has good players, I worry they are not blended into a good team. When I watch I am not convinced I see a consistent philosophy, especially on offense. It looks to me they have a bunch of plays and they just pick them and run them. I cannot put my finger on it. GT played better...

    Scandals in US (college) sports

    Fixed it. Sorry you are right. It was Barry Bonds.

    Scandals in US (college) sports

    There are so many scandals over the years it is hard to single something out. The Penn State stuff with Sandusky was very disgusting to me because how long it went on and the coverups that happened. Similar to the Nassar in Gymnastics and Anderson at Michigan scandals these went on for so...

    If universities cut Varsity sports and go Club for most offerings, what should CU offer as Varsity with scholarships and NIL?

    I don't know what will happen with college athletics. The problem for a long time is that Football at most P4 schools brings in most of the revenue - Men's BB brings in a small amount for most schools and the other programs are sucking the system dry - it is a socialistic system that has...

    Apples and Oranges - your example is a student working outside the school to make money, not equivalent to working for the school and making the money. The other poster's point is opinion. I am of the opinion if someone will pay it then you are worth it.

    If universities cut Varsity sports and go Club for most offerings, what should CU offer as Varsity with scholarships and NIL?

    Lawsuits filed over the settlement. Title IX is going to test revenue distribution by value vs everyone gets the same. Right now it only impacts the $2.8B settlement but the precedent may impact distributions going forward, IMO. $2.4B is slated to go to men with $120M going to women. I have...

    If universities cut Varsity sports and go Club for most offerings, what should CU offer as Varsity with scholarships and NIL?

    I said there would be lawsuits and Title IX would be one of the first tests. The problem with Title IX from the start has been how the NCAA implemented it back in the 70s. They took a lazy approach and now it is coming back to haunt them (and it has been haunting them for years). Title IX...

    If universities cut Varsity sports and go Club for most offerings, what should CU offer as Varsity with scholarships and NIL?

    My own belief is this is going to undergo several iterations over the next 10 years as there are too many competing interest. I think you may have a few more lawsuits. Title IX - The intent of Title IX was good but the implementation was poor. Title IX seems to be at cross purposes with the...

    Shedeur Sanders - 2023-25 Tracking History Thread - Drafted by the Cleveland Browns (NFL)

    It is because it causes a delay - timing and margin of error is much smaller in the NFL than in college ball. When you decide to throw the ball - throw it - don't take a split second to pat the ball. Is it a fatal flaw? No.

    Shedeur Sanders - 2023-25 Tracking History Thread - Drafted by the Cleveland Browns (NFL)

    This whole narrative on Shedeur has been weird, pathic and maybe tragically funny. I think it is obvious that NFL teams evaluate talent in great detail and keep their findings private. The people who are "draft experts" on social media are pulling things out of their ASS. But all you...

    2025 NCAA Tournament Games Thread

    They did not look out classed to me. They are playing defense and going to the basket.

    25-26 MBB Futurescaping

    I don't think Tad Boyle is a coach for this era of BB. I think coaches need to be evaluated within the context of College environment they are coaching in. Tad is a solid coach but not a great coach. With NIL and the transfer portal, I believe it is difficult to build a team over multiple...

    Bowl Games (other than ours) and associated silliness 2024 Plus the Playoffs

    Ohio State went through a tough slate to win the Championship so there should be no controversy. Overall I think College Football has to do some fine tuning on the playoff system. I am not sure that you want to keep the conference championship games - none of the conference champions got out...
