    LOL. Sounds good!

    I was in Scottsdale a couple of weekends ago and it seemed like the whole old town area was swarming with them.

    If we give Howard the benefit of the doubt (which is probably not earned), maybe he was suggesting that he thought it was a mistake because no one thought ASU was going to be any good coming in to the year (which is true). But it certainly seems like he was just saying "Who gives a shit about the Big 12 (except BYU and CU maybe)."

    It will be interesting to see how many games are on TNT vs. Max.

    It might have after controlling for teams, as he mentioned. The SEC night games have been drawing more, but I think that might be because they’ve generally been better matchups. With Michigan’s fall, tOSU is really the only major draw in the Big Ten right now. Fox really misses UT and OU in the Big 12.

    The video has the player that was called for holding. Maybe someone else was holding, but that's not who was called.

    It's definitely not allowed and the policy is revocation of the Big Ticket for the rest of the academic year, but I am not sure how much that is enforced.

    This is what I came here to post. A lot of it has to do with the timing of each sport, but it's always great to win an unexpected championship.

    I would think the bigger complaint would be the timeout called the play before. None of the refs realized that a timeout had been called until after the play was basically over? Whether everything was called right or not, I'm just glad we do not have to deal with Kevin Mar's crew anymore.

    Happen to be at a Stanford basketball game today and cannot help but notice something about the last five years.

    Grand Canyon is really using that online for-profit university money to increase their athletic standing recently.

    I watched the press conference. He basically said that he knows that he is no longer the best person to coach in the current environment. He got choked up quite a few times talking about it. He mentioned that they will need collective bargaining and a salary cap. He thought about it at the end of last season, but had to jump right into recruiting, etc. and did not get much of a chance to fully consider it. Wanted to leave now to give the new guys a couple of weeks to take charge, and he will still be around the program, if they will have him.

    I know everyone is excited about Gameday in Austin this week, but do we think there is a decent chance Gameday is in Nashville for the Texas game next week? Vandy already upset No. 1 Alabama this year and has been a good story - and I cannot imagine Gameday has been there in a long time. The other options seem to be LSU at A&M, Mizzou at Bama (both locations where they've already been this season), Boise-UNLV (which would possibly have been the location if UNLV hadn't lost the week before last and if the game wasn't on CBSSN), and Notre Dame at Navy (in New Jersey).

    My guess is that a scheduling arrangement in football is not going to take affect until 2026 at the earliest. My understanding is that the format is set for 2024-25, but it could change for the rest of the ESPN contract.

    I generally buy from whatever source is the cheapest for the tickets I want, but I guess fortunately for me, it has not been StubHub in about 5 years - pretty much always TickPick or SeatGeek.

    It's not that unusual, to be honest. It reminds me of my current county. They require builders to include a certain amount of affordable units in order to increase the density of a site, but in almost every case, they agree to let the builders pay towards an affordable housing fund instead of including the affordable units on the more valuable property. Theoretically, the county's affordable housing fund is then used to build the affordable housing elsewhere in the county, but who knows how much of it is actually used for that. What's ridiculous is how the Brentwood school sought to provide a "benefit" to veterans - by allowing them to use the athletics facilities during certain house as long as there were no high school plans to use the facilities during that time. I don't have the decision in front of me any more, but it was like 4:30-6:30am MWF.

    From what I can tell, the land was donated to the government for the housing of Veterans and for whatever reason the Department of Veteran Affairs decided to lease it to UCLA, Brentwood School, etc. Presumably they did not want to build housing there (probably the neighbors worried about having formerly homeless vets living in affluent areas), so they leased it at what is clearly way below market rate (at least in the case of the Brentwood school). A group of veterans sued, saying that the land was not being used to house veterans, and the judge agreed. From the first page of the Judge's order:

    Antitrust violation. If all of the big tech companies conspired to keep wages down, former Google employees could still sue, even though they voluntarily agreed to work for Google. It's the same for college athletes. They can sue because the schools/NCAA conspired to keep their wages down (by limited/banning NIL and prohibiting the schools from paying players what they are worth. It is not a contract issue, it is an antitrust issue. You cannot contract around the antitrust laws unless it is in the context of negotiating with a union. FYI, from the Judge in the House case in a denial of a motion to dismiss. It summarizes the argument pretty well:
