  1. It doesn't change the overall conclusion, but a 30 point loss to Florida where you only scored 41 points is a pretty bad loss, even if Florida is a good team.
  2. Daughter brought something home from preschool. Went to urgent care and tested positive for everything they tested for: Covid, Flu, and Strep. Not a good time.
  3. Did it settle yesterday, because as of the 17th, the parties were dealing with discovery disputes. https://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/2025/01/non-management-university-of-oregon-staff-permitted-to-speak-with-lawyers-representing-athletes-in-federal-title-ix-lawsuit-judge-rules-school-seeking-pause-in-discovery.html?outputType=amp
  4. If the schools go through the process of itemizing everything and assigning NIL based entirely on non-athletics related items (like $10k for an appearance in a TV commercial, etc.), maybe it would not implicate Title 9. I'm skeptical that is how it is going to be done, but I could see such a situation being more like your example of hiring paid actors. Regardless of whatever the DOE says now or under the new administration, this will all get decided by the courts. Oregon is already being sued by a few female athletes and there will be a lot more if and when the House settlement is approved and schools start paying athletes.
  5. I mean, if the "NIL" is coming from the University, it is pretty clearly athletic financial assistance, so I see where the DOE is coming from. As for third party NIL, the statement is purposefully vague, but it seems pretty clear that they are talking about booster NIL, not real commercial NIL. Who knows what happens under the new administration, but I think this reading of Title IX is pretty reasonable, at least based on how it is been interpreted in the past.
  6. There is a ton of recency bias going around. If this game were right after the season ended, we may very well be favored, but tOSU has looked dominant in two games against what were considered top teams and Texas eeked out a win against ASU, so everyone things that will continue.
  7. Random Question - Does anyone know where/how to watch the Peach Bowl in Bogota, Colombia? I am in Colombia with the family and it appears that the ESPN App blocks me from watching anything here and most of the locals have not even heard of college football, so I doubt it will be showing many places.
  8. I doubt it. I think guys like Richard Justice, Kirk Bohls, etc. would be ready with articles every time Texas lost talking about how we fired a successful elite eight coach ... likely insinuating if not stating it was because of nefarious reasons.
  9. They could have settled the case, but it would not have mattered. They would just need to settle every time the issue of eligibility restrictions came up. Maybe it's better to have a rule in place and just grant everyone who challenges them an exception, but it's probably better to just rip the bandaid off. None of the eligibility restrictions are going to be legal under antitrust laws unless and until they let the players unionize and agree to the restrictions in collective bargaining (or unless they are able to convince Congress to basically except the NCAA from all antistrut laws).
  10. Yes - He's been to the sweet sixteen 3/9 years at Tennessee and won at least one conference game in 5/9 years. It's pretty similar to what he was doing at Texas - and definitely worse than he did in his first 9 years at Texas.
