Oh I didn't realize that it opened. I just saw a training signing out there.

When does Terry Black's open up?

I know they would rather not have 2 Ohio St alums on the desk, but Joey Galloway is way more equipped to be on Gameday than Desmond. He's a genuinely witty guy and is much more substantive with his analysis.

Without McAfee we wouldn't get absolute gold like this: https://youtu.be/rLW-pM1FASM?si=i_xI0wcNaN-SIz9Z

Acho literrally works for himself. He hasnt worked for ESPN since Covid.

She sounds like she did have a drug problem.

How can a show have so many name brand Hollywood people involved yet miss so woefully? Do Spielberg and Scorcese even know that their names are plastered all over this show, or was their only involvement accepting the check to allow their names to be plastered all over the show?

Swain and Mark were extraordinary iso players so the offense we ran last year was highly effective. Swain, in particular, was ridiculously judicious with his shot selection so we were rarely out of offensive rebounding position due to poor shots. I'm not sure we can expect that level of execution again this year if we're as iso-heavy as we were last year. Hopefully ball and player movement will play a bigger role with this year's team compared to last year.

Ok St was under NCAA sanctions pretty much his entire time there.

Yeah I don't know why people let Dumont off the hook. There've been numerous reports about how cheap the Adelsons were the moment they took over. Little shit, like playoff bonuses for the non-basketball staff and travel restrictions immediately took everyone by surprise. I doubt it took much of a push for Nico to convince Dumont that Luka wasnt worthy of the $300 million extention he was due. Mike "Machine" Marshall talks in the video below about how cheap the Mavs got after the ownership change.

Everything is fuct.

With things like this it only takes a few high profile guys to do some damage. That being said, the NAACP and the Congressional Black Caucus went about this in the most inane, unserious way possible so I doubt any real movement gets going. We're in the social media age. Making this seem like its coming from the youth rather than a bunch of octogenarians would've been easy to do, but none of these people have the tactical acumen of their civil rights era forebears.

Ethics in sports journalism ha, meanwhile that same weekend Jay Glazer was hosting a day drinking party with all of his sources, uhh I mean 28 of 32 NFL head coaches. Some how that is completely cool with the journalism ethos.

Like @Hookem10 said, freedom of movement, more than the money, is the true paradigm breaker. This is the issue that is truly the threat to college fandom. Unless there's a better way to establish more ironclad contracts (albeit the Big10 seems to be making some headway in this arena), then the voilatile movement of players with absolutely no ties to any school is the #1 problem to solve. And it can only solved by making them employees or 1099s contracted to individual conferences or even the NCAA.

There's simply no way to treat people like employees (ie limit their movement) without making them employees. I dont know that's a Democratic or Replublican thing, it's a 9-0 court ruling thing.
