Is Nico the Curt Flood of college football?
Posted by Fan1958 on 4/15/25 at 4:06 pm
Curt paved the way for others but paid a steep price personally.

Manning is the Kamala Harris of CFB. Forced the guy in front of him out and was anointed to the position without any real meaningful evidence he is any better than his predecessor.

I just don't see Belichick being willing to put up with Nico's father.
Agree but prolly the other way around. Belichick WON"T put up with that crap so daddy gotta go somewhere he MIGHT be able to intimidate the coach.

re: Lawsuit re: eligibility
Posted by Fan1958 on 4/14/25 at 3:04 pm
So it's like minor league baseball. A guy is assigned to AA and hangs around and management finally realizes the guy is never gonna make the bigs and cuts him loose. Lots of things to consider including $$$, roster limits, etc.
So the courts rule the NCAA can't put a cap on the number of years of eligibility. Some 26 year old who has been around for 8-9 years and whose skills have diminished wants to come back but there's no room or need for the guy. What does the school (or coach or GM or what/whomever) do?

Best get accustomed to that 6-7 (or worse) record going forward. You ain't in the Big XII anymore Toto.

The company I work for has a very generous quarterly bonus program with goals that are relatively easy to meet. HOWEVER, 15% of the earned bonus is withheld and paid in the last quarter of the year, with the last quarter's holdback falling into the next year. The kicker is YOU HAVE TO BE EMPLOYED AT THE TIME THE HOLDBACK MONEY IS TO BE PAID.
Do the same with these prima donnas. If they are earning an average of $10k per game, withhold 20% of each paycheck. At the end of a 12 game season they are due $24k. If they holdout of any playoff or bowl games, without a legitimately diagnosed injury, they get none of the holdback money. Gotta have an incentive for them to play to earn the money.

Some of these kids have too many advisors and zero loyalty.
And that's why CFB is dying at a rapid rate. Fans are loyal to their school, even if the fan did not attend said school. I didn't attend the school of which I am a fan (went elsewhere) but I grew up being a fan and therefore remained a fan, though my fandom is decreasing at an increasing rate (an old macroeconomics term) due to the fact the players have no loyalty. In the past, one could look forward to the next season by the fact QB1, RB1, the entire DL, etc. was returning. Now you need a cheat sheet just to know who will start where.
It's turning into another semi-pro/minor league/second tier league situation (kinda like the UFL) and we know how those have worked out. Lose the loyalty of the college fanbase and we won't have to worry about NIL, etc. It will end up just another bus league like Double A baseball.

Yep diddly, you are correct. That's a pretty salty jab by coach.

OK. No more of this "they're just kids playing for the love of the game" crap. They are paid (professional) athletes open to criticism and scrutiny just like any other profession. The college game is officially dead.

WTF are you talking about? No rain in sight.
But since OM has a REAL field, not plastic like your 12U field, I can see why 10RC would be concerned about a little water.

Sam was a Mizzou grad so there apparently was no loyalty to UA. Brother Bud did give $15M for the BB arena though he did not attend college at Arkansas.
One heir owns the Broncos but, publicly at least, the Waltons seem to have little interest in UA athletics.

Baseball at several SEC schools, at least at Arkansas, is self-sustaining. I would suspect State, Ole Miss and LSU, with stadium capacities in excess of 10k and regularly selling out, would also be in the black.

Comparing CA to MO. Apples to oranges. Again, who gives a frick about college baseball?! Would I prefer a winner, sure, but in the end it’s kind of a worthless sport on the college sports landscape.
As usual those who claim to care nothing about a particular sport seem to be the most offended. If college baseball is worthless, why are you here?
I mean, it's obviously worthless to Missouri, or maybe they are beating their chest with a DEI hire since Mizzou was the epicenter for the DEI movement.
It's important in the SEC or there wouldn't be 10k plus showing up at so many different parks. Except for Tenner whose Little League park knocks down the average attendance numbers. Guess Mizzou's does too.

8&5 posters blaming a couple of the Tenner runs on the umpire in a 10-0 NO HIT loss. As bad as I despise Tenner I hope they run rule and no hit 8&5 the next two,
re: Could any WNBA team beat an average men's HS team?

The video of the WNBA final looks like a 10 year old boys club team comprised of the leftovers after the guys who have been "coaching" at said boys club for years poached the best players.
This may sound like I am, or make me appear to be, a bit out there, but I played basketball a couple times a week til my late 50s, mostly with 20 and 30 somethings. I held my own, especially defensively. Sixty six now and I would relish to opportunity to take on Angel Reese one-on-one. The first time she tried to Caitlyn Clark me would be her last. I'm 6'1" and 185 with zero fat and still have nimble feet with above average speed for my age.
And believe it or not, while I can't dunk, I can still grab the rim.
