    2019-2020 Expectations

    Not redshirting a guy because collegiate wrestling might be too big adjustment is not really a logic I’m following. I can envision a scenario where he has a lot of collegiate success right away and a scenario where he’s not on the team in a couple of years, I don’t see much overlap in the two...

    NCAA reacts to california athlete compensation bill

    NCAA members get a leg up on any potential competition by claiming that their amateur model precludes them from having to follow any labor laws that a competitor would be subject to. I don’t hate the idea of amateurism, but the arguments for it aren’t holding a lot of weight in practice...

    NCAA reacts to california athlete compensation bill

    The AAF actually used the NFL’s eligibility rules, so 18 and 19 year olds weren’t eligible. Last I read, the XFL wouldn’t be following suit.

    NCAA reacts to california athlete compensation bill

    I always love the free market defenses of America’s most communist industry. Compared to what a free market would look like, the athletes (as a group, not necessarily every individual) are underpaid and coaches/administrators are over-paid. That is why this issue is not going to go away.

    Patriots Owner Robert Kraft busted for "liking" Streetwalkers

    I highly doubt Robert Kraft gave a second of thought about the worker’s life history or how she came to be in her current employment situation.

    Honors for Ian Parker

    Jarret is rated number 7 and didn’t budge this week, which should tell you everything you need to know. They’re just....all over the place.

    Oklahoma

    If he comes back, 133 will be really tough next year. 4 seniors is all in the Intermat rankings. Highest rated of them is Lizak at number 8.

    Oklahoma

    We’re one of only three teams in Intermat’s top 25. A lot of these schools are not going to be able to sustain success, but would be nice if we could have at least 4 staples in the rankings (ISU, OU, OSU, and UNI) and 1 or 2 other teams with an up and coming coach every year. It’s been OK for...

    Oklahoma

    I really liked the Rouselli hire and hope he can get them back to a top 10 program. The Big XII needs more competitive teams and more automatic qualifier spots.

    Iowa St to play Drake Dec 1

    Drake beat Butler who beat Youngstown State who beat UNI who beat Illinois State who beat Colorado State who beat San Jose State who beat UNLV who beat San Diego State who beat Eastern Michigan who beat Purdue who beat Iowa who beat ISU. So we’re probably going to lose by like 100.

    Zach Smith is off the rails tonight...

    I am perfectly OK that there are no winners between Tom and Zach. Worthless human beings. I do feel bad for everyone who gets caught up as collateral damage.

    Zach Smith is off the rails tonight...

    Though possible, it’s pretty unlikely Tom’s wife just didn’t care much. Also pretty unlikely she knew the extent. And while those are to some extent personal matters, it doesn’t work so neatly that this just doesn’t reflect poorly on the program. Bottom line is that this is going to dog him...

    NFL: Beth Mowins on MNF

    First of all, crew of last night’s first game>>>Crew for the second game. MNF might be a little rough this year. Witten is no Romo. I think Beth does fine, especially compared to most of the regional crews for the daytime Sunday games. Considering that MNF is not her regular gig, there’s no...
