Thats the case at the moment. They will if they can profit much more than the expense and have total control over their player development. It would take less than 5 years for college football to essentially die if the NFL were to start a developmental Saturday league for the top 18-22 year olds that had no affiliation with college. High end High school football would quickly pass it in interest too.

Ah. Got the schedule wrong. It’s not like that would’ve ever happened anyway.

I know I’m a broken record on this but big time college football only exists because the NFL lets it. It’s currently advantageous for them as it has been for the past forever years but the moment it becomes a problem is the when the NFL will create its own developmental league for players out of high school. NCAA football will be doomed if that ever were to happen.

Monaco getting moved back after Indy means will never have to hear that lie about the greatest race day of the year. On the topic of Indy, F1 will spend the month of May in America. Do you think Zak would be crazy enough to try and run either Lando or Oscar in Indy? Will any other driver want to take a shot at it? It’s so different that I can’t imagine but it would make incredible marketing and we know how much F1 loves that.

Is this a play to actually try to get California to secede? It would be devastating for the American economy but the greatest thing to happen for the future control of the government by maga. We already know which of these they care more about.

As expected, this happened almost immediately after the judge approved the settlement.

Can’t see him going to a team that is still in rebuild mode.

Florida feeling good getting a split on the road but the Oilers should feel very good at handling the Panthers suffocating forecheck.

He’s still the richest man in the world. There is nothing he can’t use that leverage to get himself out of.

I ****ing hate Corey Perry but at this point I must tip the cap that he’s still out there and is productive.

Brebbia Coming In are 3 words I hate hearing

I don’t blame you because the change in college baseball has happened so quickly. Campbell is actually a legit small school powerhouse. They made 5 straight NCAA tournaments prior to this year. Dallas Baptist, Wright State, and Sam Houston have all built strong programs in the last 5 years

Not sure of the very best. One that sticks out is April 1991 Grateful Dead and Santana in Vegas at the old Silver Bowl Stadium. It was on the edge of what was the built out in the city at the time. Amazing desert mountains in the background. Worst: Anything at the Silverdome. Horrible, horrible place for live music. Lyrics were barely audible. Not even Pink Floyd or the Stones could make a great show out of it.

This 1 million percent

It sounds from his statement that he made this decision many weeks ago and the team was informed the entire time. Waiting to until June 2 to make it official was definitely intentional to help the team.

Shocking but not really as it had been speculated for the last few offseasons. Welcome to the NFL, Tate Ratledge.

Oh boy, Red Sox have a prospect name Richard Fitts. 🤦‍♂️

The Brewers top prospect is Jesus Made. No, this isn’t for the religion thread, that’s his name.

Is James Wood the next MLB superstar? 22 years old with a big frame and a great swing. This kid has a future as bright as anyone in the game and I’m not sure many fans even know what he’s doing right now. We also need to start talking about adding the Juan Soto Padres trade to the worst in history list. Padres got a little over a season of Juan Soto and 2 months of Josh Bell. Nats got: James Wood - currently top 10 in HR/RBI/OPS CJ Abrams - Starting SS and all star last year Mackenzie Gore - Solid LHP starter currently leading MLB in K’s Robert Hassell - mid prospect CF but he’s up in the bigs currently. Jarlin Susana is big armed pitching prospect they see as possibly a future elite MLB closer. Making the trade even better, Josh Bell signed back with the Nats and is at least ar the moment their starting 1B.

How about Gene Kingsale playing on both the 2001 Mariners and 2003 Tigers. Talk about one extreme to the other.

Indiana has proven time and time again they can win when people least expect it. I’m not thinking they can win a series against OKC, but they 100% can find a way to win at least one game.

The crazy part is this lineup has some talent in it. Beck, Doyle, McMahon, Toglia, Goodman, and Tovar are all legit major league players. It’s not like they are trotting out an everyday lineup with guys that shouldn’t even be up on the show. I’ve got to think they will start to get the bats going and will heat up enough to move out of record territory.

The NFL would make the perfect partner. They should all come together to create the next iteration of the NFL’s player development program. F the Big 12, ACC, G5, and especially Notre Dame.

Massive changes are coming very soon. The court settlement has gone back and forth but it sounds like they have appeased the judge and it should be signed any day and things will happen in time for this season. These changes include: Forming a new commission solely to rule College Football. Naming a Commissioner that will have power over everything. $21M limit on spending on players that schools must follow. Independent Clearinghouse to vet every outside NIL deal to ensure they are legit. All rule enforcement to be handled by the commission. They are trying to get subpoena authority, which the NCAA never had. $2.8B in back payments to players from 2016-2024. This is a lot of stuff to get done in a few months but apparently the Commissioner search has been going on behind the scenes for months and they are ready to name them as soon as the settlement is signed by the judge.

There is only one Paul Maurice. Legend.
