    *** Official 2025 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    The greatest trick the devil, errr Ricketts, ever pulled was convincing the fan base that Dansby was making superstar money when he's, in fact, on a below market deal....

    Friday OT - Only Happy When It Rains

    My daughter has a crippling fear of storms. I absolutely dread this time of year.

    NCAA set to allow direct payments to athletes

    Right because if Ohio State's quarterback gets dinged and ruled ineligible by this farce of a clearinghouse, they'll just say 'shucks, guess we lost him' and move on.

    J.T. Rock has entered the Transfer Portal

    The fact that you think the MVC and the Summit are the same level pretty much invalidates every take you've got...

    2025 "National Duals"

    They'll be down but I still think being a Top 16 dual team is a reasonable expectation. Losing Keck really hurts the tournament side however.

    NCAA set to allow direct payments to athletes

    It's not collectively bargained.

    NCAA set to allow direct payments to athletes

    Tarkanian will forever be right... 'The NCAA is so mad at Kentucky, they're going to put Cleveland State on probation again' Exactly what the Clearinghouse is going to do in a different way.

    NCAA set to allow direct payments to athletes

    Then Bob Brown just goes back to paying kids under the table and we're right back where we started.

    If Busch could play 3B, he'd be a Dodger.

    NCAA set to allow direct payments to athletes

    Exactly this. They're lobbying for an anti-trust exemption while staying clear at the same time. It's a very good strategy that, of course, is going to have high level lawyers involved.

    I would be shocked if the new high school didn't play in the Mississippi Valley.

    Let's hope Shaw figures it out quick and is back up soon. I don't see how Workman is on the roster tomorrow. Ben Cowles MLB debut coming up.

    Ames High changing conferneces

    West plays the CR/IC/DBQ schools. East wasn't competitive there anymore and decided, rightfully, that getting to play the DSM publics and smaller 4/5As was the better choice.

    Iowa High School BEDS count 24-25

    Iowa High School BEDS count 24-25

    Um, I don't think Waverly is going to get an invite from a conference made up of inner city schools.

    NCAA set to allow direct payments to athletes

    Sweet. Unlimited deals in markets without pro sports teams then. If Carbondale Chevrolet wants to pay SIUs 3rd string PG $10M to be on a billboard, there's nothing to compare it to so it's all good or the other extreme, does a UIC player get to sign a deal as a pro athlete in Chicago with all...

    NCAA set to allow direct payments to athletes

    You're right. It's the resulting anti-trust cases that come from a non collectively bargained artificial salary cap that will.
