Not sure I ever remember a team playing the same team twice during the regular season.

I really doubt that UA will be paying the vast majority of the athletes. Paying them will not be mandatory.

Little dated, FY 23 from the DOE Equity in Athletics website.

Stanford with revenue and expenses of $179,645,688.

USC $212,013,703.

UA $138,761,638 in revenue, $136,866,623 in expenses ...

Not saying it's not true, but that is one poorly written article. Short on facts, and long on blaming Democratic city leadership. Several references linking to Fox News.

If KC's worse problem is street racing, and ATVs riding on streets, then I don't see what the big deal is. The only crime ...

Can’t grad transfers still enter the portal? In theory?

Key Points about Grad Transfers:
Eligibility: Graduate students must have one year of eligibility remaining.
Deadlines: While not subject to the same sport-specific transfer windows, graduate ...

I'd appreciate some info re: recruiting down periods - I believe we just entered one.

What is "dead time"?

What is a "quiet period"?

Can an athlete commit during these times?

Do these include international athletes?

Thanks in advance for any information.

and had an ancestor fight in the American Revolution.

Which side? Not being facetious, just recall reading about the Hessian mercenaries fighting for the Brits.

My paternal Prussian ancestor didn't come over until 1881 like you mentioned, but my maternal Irish side did come over in the 1700s ...

I finally got around to doing a genetic test after explaining to people my composition. The results were actually a little surprising in a good way. I always just assumed I was Indian and Mexican mixed. But the genetic test really made me feel like I am a world citizen :lol:

Think it's almost a done deal that the NCAA is going to allow 5 years to play 5, so no more redshirts. With 15 roster spots now too, and no more walk-ons, might as well get him into some games. That way we can see if he is a stiff like Stephen.

Wish I knew why my family couldn't have just stayed in Sweden in the 1850s or England in the 1630s -_-

Too dang cold!

My paternal German ancestor served in the Prussian Army during the Austro-Prussian war of 1866 and emigrated to the US so his sons would not have to serve. Prussia was a very ...

I looked into moving to Germany many years ago, and like has been said it was a lot easier back then. Think now you can't skip generations, where if your grandparents were German and your parents are not, then you do not qualify if they went through voluntary emigration. Descendants of Nazi ...

Maybe he just ran out of stuff to say.

Pretty much, as I have been been here. I lurk on the MBB board daily as a guest really enjoy reading posts by Winger, JMJ, Choo and TucsonClip, among others. Premium stuff! I just got annoyed by the BDW self appointed cops jumping in whenever you criticize ...

My wife who was an educator just told me this. Explains the 2016 and 2024 elections.

In 2024, the US adult literacy rate is approximately 79%, meaning 21% of adults struggle with basic literacy skills, and 54% read below a 6th-grade level.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:

No disrespect to Love, but that is a misleading stat. Love had 5 years to do that due to the extra Covid year.

Many players in the HOF only had 3 years due to freshmen not being allowed to play, such as Kareem, and no 3 point shot ...

I’m curious to see how bad Tommy wants to play Henri and Krivas together. It might mean that Awaka is the odd man out (which with how much he sat at the end of critical games, the writing may already be on the wall). And with Peat coming in and Bryant maybe coming back and able to slide to the 4 ...

Wonder if Bryant played himself out of the top 20. Great if he came back and put himself into the lottery, although it doesn't seem likely.

Merkin

The announcers all season have said that about him., what a great teammate he is. Wish him nothing but the best. Hope he makes bank in Europe or wherever he ends up.

College ball is getting more and more like the NBA.

Pitts would have been arrested if he was in a California school instead of Arizona. A female under the influence cannot give consent.

I really doubt Mason had anything to do with the UA anymore.

Must have missed when Luck was named GM there. That's going to be a tough job with both Bay Area schools focusing more on academics.

Many schools allow the AD to do their own admissions, as long as they meet the minimum requirements.

But you still need to go to class and pass classes competing ...

Why wife had the same issue with a statin. Her doctor switched her to another and she was fine.

Your blood pressure sure was high, extremely so. Nice recovery on that.

Kind of surprised Pastner gave up the broadcast booth. Going to working 20 hours a week to 60 or more.

Guess the money read too good to pass up.

The transfer portal opening during the tournament is so wild.

Over 700 entered on day 1. Under 300 last season, on day 1 and under 200 the season before.

Read where the Nurfolk State coach said that the mid-majors are turning into JUCOs now since it's easy to get players, but very difficult to ...

Thought he was a one and done. Guess the injuries hurt his stock.

I imagine there have been discussions with Arizona.

I find it ironic that everyone comments on Delly's defense but no one talks about CB defense. CB is a ELITE shot blocker but his defense is not on par with his offense. He did not play well last night and his two goaltends were a gift to Oregon. I think his shot is one of the best I've seen at ...
