A million is a starting point for one that has some good starting experience. Or a highly rated high school one for 10-12 million over a four year period. That's what happens when billionaires decide they want to fund a team.
Larry Ellison's wife Jolin didn't like seeing Michigan have a bad year. Her best quote was "I don't need the credit; I need championships. I need to stack them."
The toothpaste is out of the tube and you ain't getting it back in. It keeps getting harder and harder for me to follow the college game. |

Unlimited transfers, no contracts, and no leadership. Players want money, coaches want stable rosters. They have to work out the details so it's at least fair for all. |

Good to see they're finally putting it together before the end of the season...
I think it was obvious going in this season that there was potential but still going to be "next year" to realize it.
The Alabama game is still a thing unto itself...
If you like basketball, at all... the Auburn - Houston game worth watching. Announcers during the game... before the outcome determined... were saying its one of the best games they'd ever seen... ever... top 5 of all time, etc.
I also have missed BBall this week... just looked: Nov 25, 26, 27 beat #5 Iowa State, #12 North Carolina, and Memphis to win the Maui Invitational. Next up is Duke...
So, a winning holiday weekend of catching up, for me... !!! Hopefully ride the momentum and tack one more on that, too...
Happy Thanksgiving. |

To: dylan murphy who wrote (11134) | 11/27/2024 9:47:51 PM | From: sense | | | Now just need to have all the rest of the teams in the country quit their conferences and join the SEC
"SEC, SEC, SEC"... we are the best...
And then, the NCAA is made superfluous... and maybe we could fix a few things ?
Right now, the former imbalance hurting students has tipped too far the other way... so the schools are being exploited, as students have NIL rights while using the schools name and image, but the schools have no ability to write a binding contract.
I can't say the system isn't working better for the kids... or for the top end of the best schools... but it certainly disadvantages smaller schools... and totally destroys the concept of... the ideal of... a student athlete... with it still being mostly about the value of education. But, then, the schools have been hard at work devaluing that, all by themselves, without any help from the athletes ? |
