  1. The solution, in my crazy proposal, is to split the 2 big revenue sports (football & mens basketball) out from the NCAA and out from direct oversight by the universities. You would then create a sports franchise (minor league) that will be located in the home city of these universities, the university would license the school name/mascot/colors etc and also rent facilities for the teams to use for training, practice, residence, and stadiums for competition. There could be agreements to allow players to attend the school, and I am sure there are alumni groups that would love to fund this set up and have an ownership stake in said affiliated sports franchise. I've thought this for a few years, as a way to deal with Title IX issues, but really with the changes brought by NIL we are miles closer to this model being actually viable.. FWIW - this model would only apply to the top divisions of football and hoops at the college level; DII and lower would still be able to maintain being under the Athletic Dept. In all honesty, playoff eligible football and top level mens hoops programs have become defacto minor league sports with NIL money for "salaries" Lots of bugs and details to something like this, but it isn't as far from what is actually happening as it was only 2 years ago.
  2. Great field, but playing a course as challenging as the Greater Greensboro Open (no slight meant to Greensboro) and that isn't going to cut it for a major championship. Bye Bye Louisville
  3. shows you know nothing about Scottie, he insisted that Ted go to his kids graduation. Family comes first, Scottie can still win this
  4. I'm seeing DJ, Fatrick & Nieman, and then I quit looking. Not sure there could be more, but these guys don't really care so much, as they've been paid.
  5. Yesterday has to mean season 3 for Netflix Full Swing - life and crimes with Scottie
  6. how much will you pay me to not get involved in FFIE? 🤣🤣🤣
  7. What is the consensus on Scotties' presser today? a) he skips it to get away from the frenzy b) he shows up with his attorney
  8. I think I've written 3 checks this year - and one was to myself. My wife still writes 5-10 checks a month, and won't use the remote deposit app, she is Mrs Karen Boomer
  9. Obviously this mornings' trauma has affected Scottie's game - he birdied the 1st hole, yesterday he eagled his first hole.
  10. I watched about 5 minutes of Golf Network coverage last night, and heard that Valhalla is a boring course, boring set up and it is looking like it could be a boring tournament, Scottie driving in to work today has changed that whole narrative; people who don't follow golf are now seeing this on their news feeds. Good job by the PGA of America at finding a way to spice up their little event here this week in Kentucky.
  11. This could cost Ted Scott a shit ton of money. Just sayin
  12. Bookies, Sports books, gambling apps and fantasy golf leagues are figuring out what to do with Scheffler - if he can't make his tee time
  13. You should have arrested Koepka
  14. I will take "Bizarre Shit" for $1,000 this must be a glitch in the matrix, right?
  15. Daly, at this point, is a circus show and a non-factor
  16. Maybe Scottie's feeling he needs a good first 2 rounds, because Ted is not on the bag for Saturday. But he'll be back on Sunday; he's taking 1 day off to go to his daughters graduation. https://www.golfdigest.com/story/scottie-scheffler-pga-championship-caddie-2024-valhalla
  17. 100%, sure there are some physical ailments; but he needs a sports psychologist to give him a mantra or some big nothing to think about while he executes his shots. It was an awesome couple of years to watch him, though even since 2017 he has managed to get 7 top tens in majors (but that doesn't get much excitement going)
  18. Flipping channels this morning, and on CNBC there was a ad for Energy Fuels Inc (or as we know it UUUU), the ad said something about energy and defense related. I really didn't catch all of it, as I wasn't aware of who the ad was when it started. I guess if you have the money, might as well court new investors - right? I'm guessing that this means I should average down, again 🚀🚀🚀
  19. well in all honesty, it is much easier over there because that is where we all gather
  20. https://www.pgachampionship.com/how-to-watch
  21. Michael Block hacking up the 2nd hole - left his approach short and then did a crisscross pattern trying to find the green/hole looks like there will be no block party at Valhalla this year
  22. Put on your tinfoil hats boys & girls - podcast with new "evidence" and theory of what happened to MH-370 Where I first saw a report of this podcast - https://www.barstoolsports.com/blog/3513720/10-years-later-we-may-have-evidence-of-what-happened-to-malaysian-flight-370 And the youtube link (it is also on Spotify also linked) -
  23. Or maybe Erica found out he was having breakfast at Perkins
  24. yeah, I wish. I jumped onto that bandwagon, thinking lithium mining and recycling was a great combination.....and now I am just waiting for the inevitable reverse split death knell
