Unless they feel they belong wherever bags of cash are. Kind of like me.

Attention to these kinds of details is why you feel they are so unbeatable.

Testing free agency seems about right. I heard on ESPN today that 20% of basketball players are in the portal.

Sorry for being redundant

I am not sure how an old viagra spokesman can help.

The idea of a salary cap at either the NIL level or coach's salary level is a concept that does not apply to college athletics. The purpose of the salary cap Is not to ensure parity (though parity is an offshoot and what owners want you to focus on). The purpose is to protect profitability by removing the prisoner's dilema from consideration. No owner can attempt to win just by outspending the other owners. It is meant to protect the owners from themselves through colluding to keep costs down. It only works because all parties agree to it. All parties agree because they get compensated for their agreement. Owners through revenue sharing of national TV contracts. Players through mandatory minimum spending by owners. In college sports there are no owners, there is no revenue sharing, and there are no collective bargaining units. The NCAA does not/cannot control an athlete's NIL earnings. And they never will. Telling athletes what they can earn (zero) is what got them in this predicament in the first place. On top of that, the NCAA has gone to court repeatedly to argue athletes are not employees. How then could they argue to have a say in an athlete's earnings? As for coaches, there is no single authority like the MLB, NFL, etc. that could attempt to normalize compensation across schools or sports. And even if there was, take note that none of the leagues with athlete salary caps have coach salary caps.

The boogie man known as they

Those 1983 stats are pretty amazing. After dominating at Big Tens you have to figure they were at the high end of their seed possibility. And yet every one of them finished at, or above, their seed.

I din't realize what a bunch of silver spooners were on this board. I had to share a poo brown chevy chevette that would intermittenly loose compresion with my brothers and sisters. There was never more than $2 of gas in that car.

No

I disagree with the idea that what Spencer Lee said about getting beat by Matt Ramos and being hurt was in any way contradictory. He said he was hurt, but did not attribute the loss to being hurt. He credited Ramos rather than blamed the fact that he is hurt. Both those things can be true without being contradictory. I found it interesting that he put the blame on the mental more than the physical. He said he was "conscious" during that match which made him sluggish. He said his best matches were when he was in the opposite mental state and came off the mat unaware of what just happened.

He said he is working toward that, but left some doubt.

Examine the username.

What are you talking about? I thought the "look at my belly button" move was pretty cool. I plan to work it into some meetings at work.

You seem to be taking this very personally. I am of the opinion that it is great to watch someone who is better at something than I will ever be at anything. At the same time, I know they are not doing this for my entertainment.

Like a knife to the heart.

That is an interesting theory. Let's explore that for a minute. On the plus side, I am unbelievably thin skinned and more than willing to through any crap against the wall while ignoring the stuff that doesn't stick. On the minus side, how dare you?

Have they? NPR has always been a left of center broadcast outlet.

Oh, Elon. Now he is grouping NPR with RT as "state-affiliated media". It used to be in "state-financed media organizations with editorial independence" along with the BBC.

It pains me to post this, but this is what we are dealing with. This is just my estimate from pulling multiple sources together. It is not authoritative.

Iowa Wesleyan. Though it was the entire school that bit the dust rather than just the wrestling program.

A prior employer provided free lunch every day. My favorite complaint was, the food is awful and there is not enough of it.

My father in law always raved about the barrell so I gave it a try once. Once.

Plumbing the depths of stupid.

It is funny how unreliable some of these old write ups are. DiBatista's NWHOF bio references his win over a 29 year old opponent in the 1941 final (https://nwhof.org/hall_of_fame/bio/98) That "29 year old" opponent was Al Crawford, whose NWHOF bio calls him 24, but based on birth year was either 25 or 26. (https://nwhof.org/hall_of_fame/bio/15395) Crawford's bio also indirectly accuses DiBatista of stalling in the 1941 final to the extent that it caused a rule change.
