Even the Big 12 is discussing it

That could be the home for the next St. Louis franchise.

Indiana is not done yet. 🤣

Pretty much how life is though. Do people drive 40 in a 35 mph zone? Do people stick to the 55 mph speed limits? Do police pull people over going 38 in a 35 zone? Plenty of other examples than just speed limits. There is give and take everywhere. To expect a level of consistency is reasonable though.

I am curious to see what the impact will be on football. The popular term is "exposure". Travel 7 on 7 teams can go much further than full teams can, and can play out of season. The biggest impact is among smaller schools where kids are having to choose what sports to continue playing and which ones to give up. Far too often, football loses out. It is not easy to put a helmet on when it's 80 degrees or higher. The effort it takes to get better is too hard for some, so they choose another sport and skip summer workouts for football. Often times, it's the parents making that call too with the cost of travel teams being what they are.

But this is also a part of college baseball......after a walkoff win against that team to the south of us. Just TRY to tell us you don't get goosebumps watching. 🙂

I have driven across Montana twice in my life heading to Glacier National Park. I now laugh at people who complain how long it takes to get through Georgia now lol FYI, if you are ever there and luck enough to get a clear, sunny day, A drive on Going to the Sun Road is THE most incredible drive to make.

My guess is the legislators called their bluff, even if it was not intentional. I have come to believe Hammond was a bluff on the part of the Bears ownership. My guess is Arlington Heights will end up being the site used.

Understood…add to it that unless the voters within a school district approved a referendum, at most only 43% of property tax money goes to the school district.

I had not seen that change yet. Thanks for that link. I know Braun wanted to increase it….but wow. Keeping this about students, compare that to the fact that a single parent with 3 children cannot make more than $23,000 to qualify for assistance.

But that is not where the money for vouchers comes from.

It's been capped at $260,000 for a couple of years now.

The wording in this letter leaves the impression that he believes there is something to the charges but he needs more evidence. I will withhold judging him as the onus is on law enforcement to prove guilt. Hopeful this works out well for all involved. Speculating....a season without him could put them in a bind.

Posting this here because it is the same kind of thing we are seeing with agents for college athletes. It's a predatory mindset. Adults are taking advantage of kids who are 17-18 years old. Adults who know that you can flass a boatload of money in front of them and they will jump at the chance. People do not fully develop the frontal lobe of their brain where decision making takes place for people of our ages until the ages of 22-25. The adults involved know this. And they are preying on these teenagers. Agents for college athletes are taking cuts as high as 30%. But all a kid sees is what his/her take will be. The NFL may have the strictest limits on the behavior of agents. For NFL salaries, agents are capped at no more than 4% of a player contract. They can take higher percentages of endorsement money though.

Sad news out of NASCAR....RIP Kyle; WAY too young

As I have said many times, this is unsustainable.It’s not just the drop in birth rates. The cost to compete in D1 is skyrocketing uncontrollably.

Not directed at you. Just cussin at myself and

Just a few months in….zero games coached, and ALREADY on the hot seat. lol Great job Lane

Total numbers per sport. I could not find a breakdown by division

Not surprised in the least bit. My question is why in the HELL are D3 players entering the portal at all?

The SAC is the only one I know of that does that. The NHC did not, and the NE 8 does not.

I will always think of this when I see or hear Johns Hopkins

Don't forget too that the SAC splits the gate. That has been an issue for some time as well.
