  1. You know, we laugh...but think about it. This is the logical next progression. Everything we watch will eventually be only streaming, and then someone will come along and say, "Hey, if you get this subscription, you can access all your channels directly through one app, box, etc." Guess what...we then come full circle back to essentially what is cable.
  2. It actually is a prescribed NCAA compliance training piece for student-athletes, coaches, and staff (or at least it was 10 years ago when I was doing athletic certification). Once a year we had to sit in a training session telling us we could not gamble on ANY sport, much less a college sport. Strictly forbidden. They said we couldn't even be in for-money fantasy football league.
  3. This reminds me of my big question back when the Pete Rose betting scandal hit: "If he bets ON his team to win, how is that a problem?" Maybe I missed it, but I never once saw any reports on HOW he betted (Pete Rose, that is). To me, if a player, coach, administrator, whatever, bets ON the team to WIN, then I have no problem with it. (Yes, I know, gambling slippery slope and getting in hoc with bad elements, yada yada yada). I'm just saying that if a player is extra motivated to play even harder and smarter because he has money on the outcome of his team WINNING, then so be it. No problem with it. And this is coming from someone who is pretty damn conservative when it comes to this stuff.
  4. "Ok, guys...it's Wednesday, which means we end practice an hour early so you all can hit the phone banks to solicit more subscriptions and get those much needed new chin straps!"
  5. I'm gonna disagree with you. Right now, I would say cable is still better than streaming. Cable is easier to flip between games. Cable doesn't have buffering issues. Some neighborhoods don't have fiber optic yet. Some are forced to only have two mediocre internet providers. You get the idea.
  6. I bet the FSU General Counsel is wishing his Board chair would STFU and not be saying this stuff for the whole world to hear. Probably hit the Jack Black hard tonight (the GC that is).
  7. I laughed harder than I expected at this one…

  9. I don't think TV would be cool with that. They aren't paying us without the guarantee the GOR provides them.
  10. Why are you surprised, John? Your sources have proven to be the dumbest people in all of sports.
  11. "they are concerned that with a campus in LA they will lose enrolment." Um, how does being in a conference with no presence in LA after this year help them from losing enrollment? Not sure how being relegated to the new MWC helps their LA enrollment, but o.k.
  12. For anyone still thinking the PacX might somehow survive....if below is true, it's dead Jim.
  13. I've been waiting for this...I don't think it has already been posted, but even it has, I'm not sorry. This is one of the better ones I've seen.
  14. ?? Clemson isn’t a religious school. It’s not even private. It’s a public institution.
