  1. Will Wade and Bruce Pearl also ended up getting fired from SEC schools for cheating (and not winning enough to make the schools turn their backs on the cheating).
  2. If we can stop Mamadi Diakite, we've got a shot. This is still one of my favorite non-Texas college sporting memories.
  3. I was just making fun of Wetzel suggesting that the Big Ten and SEC are doing this in order to destabilize the membership of the Big 12 and ACC when they could have any of of those schools if they really wanted to without worrying about destabilizing the conferences first.
  4. It's wrong - The original article makes it clear that it should be "without cause." https://www.on3.com/teams/texas-longhorns/news/documents-reveal-details-of-steve-sarkisians-contract-extension-including-buyout-numbers/
  5. Ah yes - This is all a ploy by the SEC and Big Ten to destabilize the Big 12 enough that they can pick off all of the Big 12 schools that they have long wanted but never could dream of pulling away... Or maybe it's all a ploy to get FSU, a team that desperately wants to leave the ACC to... leave the ACC.
  6. We should probably adopt this strategy in all of our games going forward ... in pretty much every sport.
  7. Are we not counting the Big 12 tournament in soccer that happened later? We beat Tech in that one.
  8. 14 of the 15 SEC schools that sponsor softball next year are in the current top 25. Ole Miss is the only one missing.
  9. I don't disagree, it just seems like something that he should know, given that "bracketology" is his entire job.
  10. Couldn't they just switch Texas with Wake Forest in that projection to avoid the situation. It definitely doesn't seem like all measures to keep the teams apart have been exhausted.
  11. I think the reason is that the MAC has moved away from having football only members. UMass was the last football-only member and left in 2015 when given the choice of becoming a full member or leaving. My guess is that UConn football is not valuable enough for them to want to change that.
  12. Reading the decision, I am not seeing how many of the NCAA's rules are valid under antitrust laws if challenged. For example, I cannot see how the ban on decorating a recruit's hotel room or the ban on official photoshoots with recruits on non-official visits would withstand antitrust scrutiny. Even things like the rescriction on the number of scholarships per school would seem to be violations of antitrust laws under the court's rationale. An agreement among competitor's to limit the number of employees they can hire is clearly anticompetitive and I do not see much in the way of justifying it if "spreading competition evenly across the member institutions by restraining trade is precisely the type of anticompetitive conduct the Sherman Act seeks to prevent."
  13. I think the implication is that they did not know about the event until after their offer - not that they did not know until now. The statement doesn't say they just stopped recruiting him today. They probably stopped recruiting him when they found out, but then felt the need to answer questions about it after players started tweeting about it.
  14. It doesn't seem like it would have been better last year. Would you rather play Liberty and then Bama or have a bye before playing the winner of Oregon/Mizzou?

    Rowing

    Does this mean that the SEC will be competing in rowing next year? It looks like Texas, OU, Bama, and Tennessee are no longer going to be competing in the Big 12 for rowing. https://big12sports.com/news/2024/2/20/big-12-adds-affiliates-in-lacrosse-rowing.aspx
  16. Nope - exactly the same as last year:
  17. You have to imagine it is the number one selection of the Big Ten games that week, which suggests it will probably be Big Noon on Fox (although CU at Nebraska is also that week). My understanding is that Fox generally gets the first selections, but I am not exactly sure.
  18. The courts will decide that question. https://www.hklaw.com/en/insights/publications/2023/12/lawsuit-with-claim-of-unequal-access-to-nil-opportunities-raises
  19. I sincerely hope this isn't true. If so the PK needs to go bye bye and Sark offer Gare the job He wasn't even working for UT last year, right? Did he call up PK in between music sets to suggest changing up the defense for the playoff?
