    So far, my best pick is Oregon over South Carolina. There’s definitely been some carnage though

    Some college coaches and execs are fans of pulling up the ladder after they’ve made it into the treehouse

    Me too. I only had Kentucky going into the next round, though. Wow, though

    Ohtani

    Yeah His best friend (Mizuhara) is his translator. Ohtani relies on him for a ton. His contract can be voided, penalty-free, if the Dodgers fire Mizuhara. They just fired him. Mizuhara got in debt from gambling—apparently not on baseball. Ohtani seems to know he was bailing his friend out, but...

    Conference Realignment

    Operating expenses don’t go up if Clemson leaves; they don’t disappear, either. The revenues from Clemson might disappear. Relating it to operating expenses is a way to say “we still have to pay our bills that you committed to; this gives us time to repair the damage that you caused”. If...

    Conference Realignment

    The fact that it’s tied to operating budget doesn’t mean it’s a penalty. The conference spends that operating budget for its members. If a cash cow leaves, the members still need the services. Relating the exit fees to operating expenses is a way for the conference to perform their required...

    Early takes on the portal / NIL?

    Do 18-19 year old athletes who have spent the majority of their focus on becoming top-tier pro athletes make great financial judgments? Or act in the best interests of the sport and the fans? For all but a few, the answer is “no”. With a slew of relatives and others in their ears 24/7, it...

    As expected, Amaree is entering the portal

    It looked like he was going to be our 3 point threat—maybe not a PG, but a feature SG. It never happened

    I think reputation matters at the borderline. Pitt hasn’t been a name brand basketball team that I remember. UVA won a title five years ago, with the same coach. Maybe the committee listened to pressure to put in more SEC teams. Maybe they have a bias towards “name brands”. I think that name...

    Conference Realignment

    Reading the filing, their main argument is that the GOR is in excess of what’s needed for the ESPN contract, and it should co-terminate. The other stuff looks like fluff

    Clemson files their own suit. The short version of the complaint is “the contract does what we thought it did when we signed it, but we don’t like it now”...

    For the final 4, I did. I put St Mary’s down to win it all, though (My bracket came in mid last season) Not many Cinderella teams in my bracket this time

    I’m sorry I didn’t recommend “Godzilla Minus One” and “The boy and the heron” while they were in theaters. Godzilla Minus One was *&$# good. Dune 2 is also something to see in a theater

    They filmed that movie, then his costar lost the lawsuit against Johnny Depp. So, they reshot the movie to take her out of as many scenes as possible. I haven’t seen the movie, but I hear the plot didn’t survive the surgery
