  1. I think the talk about academics is an attempt to put a respectable face on the conference expansion money grabs. It's not a secret the Big Ten has always wanted Notre Dame who wasn't in the AAU until 2023. I've always thought Stanford should be in a conference with the UC's or join the University Athletic Association which is composed of peer schools (University of Chicago, Washington University, Carnegie Mellon, etc) that explicitly won't make the academic compromises to play football at a high level.
  2. Trump does what AIPAC tells him to do just like every politician except Thomas Massie. It's out in the open now so we don't have to speculate why our foreign policy is what it is. Because AIPAC wanted it. End of explanation.
  3. There's endless media articles like this which are "young men struggling, women most affected." Articles like this are why young men have tuned out mainstream media because it's endless negativity. I'll believe women want to get rid of traditional gender roles when it's common for women to ask out men and pay for dates but that isn't going to happen. If young women aren't interested in dating that's perfectly fine but stop bashing young men because there's already too much of that.
  4. I don't advocate moronically chanting a conference name but I do hope the other schools do well out of conference because that affects the seeding and perception of my school's teams. In men's basketball the non-conference performance of the schools in the SEC absolutely helped everyone when it came to NCAA tournament seeding and getting in.
  5. Cal and Stanford's academic rankings means absolutely nothing in the athletics world which is why they had to beg for a bargain basement offer in a conference on the other side of the country. And in athletics I mean football, football and football. The Big Ten supposedly cares a lot about academics but the reality is they accepted Nebraska (when they were relevant in football) and rejected Cal and Stanford so it's clear what actually matters.
  6. They need a break from the Minnesota-Maryland-Rutgers gauntlet.
  7. There was an ESPN story that detailed the hiring process and some of the Trustees and the Athletics Department weren't on the same page so it's likely a Trustee told her to stay away and that was overruled by management. The president of UNC publicly rebuked some of the Trustees for their actions during the hiring process and the internal battle is still going on.
  8. It's not unusual for a coach to have a young woman he's seeing but it is unusual for a university to be so desperate that they agree to let her have a role in the program. IF UNC had any self-respect they would tell Bill to keep his sugar baby away from the program. ESPN had an article about this hiring and it was a circus with some trustees and politicians trying to hire Bill without the Athletics Director knowing what they were doing.
  9. Hiring a 72 old coach that cares more about his pleasing his sugar baby than football will be an entertaining trainwreck for everyone to watch.
  10. So all of this is because of God instead of his greedy stupid father. Been a rough year for Los Angelos and I hope UCLA football has a good year despite this guy. Sports can be a refuge to forget about things for a while.
  11. Yes but if the AD had a lot of financial backers the University wouldn't have to bail them out.
  12. UCLA gave 30 million to their broke athletics department so I don't think they will be spending a lot on a mediocre quarterback.
  13. According to espn he was 35th in qbr so why did he get any raise. The future is paying guys that have proven they are good college quarterbacks like Ohio State and Indiana did. Curtis Rourke was third and Will Howard was seventh in qbr.
  14. I'm a UK fan and many other fans have lost perspective about that game. UK under Cal would have a couple of games a season where they look like the best team in college but most of the time it was a disorganized mess that could and did lose to anyone. UK will have a better SEC record and a better future. Look at the big wins Pope has with a team cobbled together in a short time frame.
  15. Bluegrass Airport for Lexington. UK lost the few decent players we had and return the same shitty coach so that game won't be competitive. It's a nice area but I'm biased since I grew up in Lexington.
