    *** Official #10 Illinois vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    We shot FT well tonight, and our made 3 pointers was not horrible because only shot 13 the entire game, but the offensive rebounds that we gave up tonight along with the missed shots right at the rim were the difference. If ISU wants to move forward, we need a big guy that be a threat to...

    *** Official #10 Illinois vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    Overall we had a great season, finished second during the regular season and won the conference tournament. To win and advance from here on out we were going to have to shoot the ball at a high clip, and we could not buy a basket most of the first half. Illinois size bothered us and forced us...

    The advantage of having your own network is getting the PR out there that you want people to believe. Throw in FOX that owns the network are not going to blame the B10, ESPN has no stake, but they did the same with OU and UT and there are few that stand up for the B12.

    MLB: ***Official 2024 St. Louis Cardinals Thread***

    Bally Sports is under bankruptcy and trying to work out a plan to sell off the RSN that they control. They gave up some and kept 11 other teams, one of which was the Cards. https://www.forbes.com/sites/bradadgate/2023/11/17/bally-sports-the-largest-regional-sports-network-may-cease-operations/

    MLB: ***Official 2024 St. Louis Cardinals Thread***

    I still watch the games, have it on now, one of the good things about still having Direct TV, is the Cards are our local RSN. This is an important year for the team, it's time for the younger players to step up and prove they can be major cogs in the team, not just another player on the team...

    MLB: ***Official 2024 St. Louis Cardinals Thread***

    For the first time in 50 years, I am really not excited about seeing the Cards this season. We have purchased no tickets to see them play, which we have done for years. It's just hard to get excited about your team when they refuse to pay the going rate for pitching and keep dumpster diving for...

    Here is a link that seems to be very arcuate of the finances of every school and where the money is coming from and where it is being spent. https://www.sportico.com/business/commerce/2023/college-sports-finances-database-intercollegiate-1234646029/

    But those schools didn't and would not have because the money difference did not make it practical for them. What the B12 would have done is not the same as what the B10 did. Thinking about stealing something and not doing it, is not the same for actually stealing it, and then saying, "you...

    Sure, it is, but at least the B12 was up front about it, and did so after USC and UCLA had already left. The new schools would not have joined if the B10 had not finally killed the P12 by taking Oregon and Washington. The Athletic had more than one article saying that a deal was in place to...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Did the B10 tell their partner conference the P12 that USC and UCLA approached them? No, they did not, why not? Because it benefitted the B10 to break up the P12, just like if they can break up the ACC it will benefit the B10. I include the SEC because they are doing the same thing, are the...

    So you are saying that USC and UCLA were not meeting secretly with the B10 before they jumped, or the SEC was not talking to OU and UT before they jumped. Why did the B10 not tell the P12 that USC and UCLA had approached them about leaving the P12 for the B10? I mean the two conferences had an...

    Rutgers, Maryland and Nebraska did not start at full shares of the media revenue, and only Nebraska is at a full share now. Rutgers and Maryland took out a loan on their future payments to either spend on the exit fees to their former conference or to use to get their athletic programs out of...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    So, what you are saying is the greed stops once the B10 and SEC destroy the ACC. We have to include the SEC because they and the B10 are the ones doing this to the other conferences. Now, why would it stop then and allow the weaker schools to keep getting equal money to the bigger brands...

    You keep thinking that the have's in the B10 and SEC will never turn on the have nots, but that is foolish. You have never said why the Ohio States and Alabama's should continue to pay Indiania, NW and others the same amount of money as they are getting now? This whole thing has been over...

    Not hyperbole at all, how close Gonzaga is to SLC is less important than how it is to most of the teams in the conference compared to UCONN. All of which are except the new schools added out west its closer to UCONN than Spokane.
