That was cited as a recruiting violation (multiple violations) when the basketball team got probation under Pastner

Since NIL is above board, why not just NIL instead of bag men (illicit) Bag man: an agent who collects or distributes the proceeds of illicit activities. "one million dollars cash paid to the general's bagman" —Oxford language dictionary Salley doesn’t work for the AA. Money from an institute...

Yep

The ncaa doesn’t have the broadcast rights. It used to be the CFA (rip), and now it’s the schools or the conferences. If someone from the NCAA could sweet talk the B1G and SEC into common cause with the B12 and SEC, then maybe (assuming it survived an anti trust suit). The P2 aren’t super...

James Joyce, Henry James, and maybe David Foster Wallace

It seems like you almost can’t miss a good Korean place on Steve Reynolds or Satellite Boulevard

Yup.

Sprayberry’s isn’t even pulling in the locals anymore—it wasn’t that great the last time I went. I’m not that into what Lewis Grizzard would like. Fox Bros is good stuff. I love Heirloom Market. Community Q was one of my standbys. You have to pre-order any takeout a day ahead there now...

We do very well, but other ACC teams do as well. It depends on how many schools and how many years you look at. Some schools have 100% success rates https://theacc.com/news/2023/12/6/general-acc-makes-another-strong-showing-in-ncaa-graduation-success-rates.aspx If you just look at football for...

They played Notre Dame, Clemson, and FSU last year, with a winning record when they played. They had better exposure than we did.

You didn’t buy a spurtle or a tac shaver? Yeah, we know what the ads were like when it wasn’t a marquee opponent. We had 2 ABC games (UGA and Clemson), one ESPN game, and two CW games. That should be 5 Nielsen games. That’s also weak coverage. The Miami game, which was a great game, was on the...

I’m not sure how good the numbers in this are—we’re #54, way behind Duke (33) and Louisville (31). FSU is #7, ahead of Notre Dame. Colorado was huge at #4 and 4.5 million viewers per game. UGA had 3.95 million. We had 766k. Clemson had 1.7 million viewers at #22. Miami is #32 at 1.33 million...

From what I read, he has played anywhere from NT to DE, but he weighs 280. Being a utility player at Miami probably won’t get you much playing time, even if you’re healthy. Santucci and Simpson seem to use that kind of player. To @dressedcheeseside ’s question: Miami fans probably don’t care...

FYI, the options are really down to Nike and Adidas Under Armor is failing https://finance.yahoo.com/news/under-armour-is-collapsing--and-kevin-plank-has-to-take-the-blame-123052660.html

I’m not sure. I’ve seen some reputable reports that the B1G is only interested in Notre Dame. With the court cases, there’s a lot that can happen before FSU and Clemson are decided

I at least know that Stoudamire is taking his shot and trying to win. He makes big changes; hopefully, they work. We were weak at the 5, he brought in three centers. He’s pulled the highest rated class I’ve seen in a long while. He’s adding shooting. Now, he’s got to get them playing together...

I’m admittedly not the biggest college basketball genius. We had Dowuona as our one player with the size to play a true 5. He averaged about 10 minutes a game. Ndongo played in the 5–arguably out of his natural position—for most of the year. Ndongo went to try to qualify for the draft, playing a...

Interesting profile of Grant House (men’s swimming at ASU) here: https://www.cbssports.com/general/news/meet-grant-house-the-man-front-and-center-fighting-the-ncaas-last-gasp-to-cap-athlete-compensation/amp/

Miami SP+, up to 2019. Notice that they have a bunch of titles, join the Big East, fall apart, rebuild themselves to win a title, then join the ACC and fall apart with occasional spikes of being good. They had 4 straight years in the top 5, including a championship, and then joined the ACC. We...
