I didn't watch any basketball this year, not even the tournament. The leaders of these institutions need to get together and figure out a system to make mutually binding contracts with these players. The courts will force them into it eventually anyway. Just do it now and be intentional about...

I think I'd rather have a semifinal helmet with scratches and dents all over it

Yeah we really blew a golden opportunity after knocking off Tech. Good grief. Five games left against teams who were all behind us or level in the standings... Yuck. We'd be lucky to make the NIT at this rate.

At least they're on real TV, not Vs. And in this case a road game in Arizona will be put in an 8ET kickoff slot whereas a Saturday fixture would likely end up at 10:30ET. Frog fans in the Eastern time zone who get up for church on a Sunday prefer Friday night games for road trips to the west...

You can find the records of the appropriate paperwork preserved here: https://txarchives.org/txglo/finding_aids/00053.xml Stephen F. Austin was fully documented.

I just shared this clip with my students last week to illustrate what Alexis de Tocqueville says in Democracy in America about the extent and effects of social equality on the frontier. Somehow this movie is now several years older than them. "At the end of the last century, hardy adventurers...

Isn't "he went to pieces" is the metaphor you need here?

https://www.on3.com/teams/florida-state-seminoles/news/fsu-board-of-trustees-meeting-live-updates-on-proposed-acc-settlement/ Basically this settles the lawsuit in exchange for uneven revenue distribution based on TV ratings. They already agreed uneven distribution based on football/basketball...

Difficult to see this ending well. If we're worth enough money to pay off this "investment" with interest why aren't we being paid the money already? What product do we have to sell other than televised football, which isn't worth as much as the two big leagues? You can't borrow your way to...

Big win. Five remaining games, four against teams below us in the standings and one against a team currently with an identical record. Very good opportunity for this team here.

And deserve.

I think there's room in most situations for a bit of gallows humor. The joke, such as it was, was really about TCU not this person's family. In case anyone is interested in my personal views on the matter, I think domestic abusers should be locked in stocks on the town square and beaten with...

https://www.insidehighered.com/news/institutions/research-universities/2025/02/13/ending-research-1-arms-race R-1 status for all! Big Ten here we come! Now we just need to brown-nose our way into the AAU and find 5 million overweight people to subscribe to cable exclusively to watch our...

His profile on the university's website says he teaches criminology classes, so this goes along nicely with our ethics professor who downloads child pornography. Also his doctorate is from UCF, so clearly Mickey Mouse State is responsible. We oughtn't let such rabble into the Big XII. We've...

I wonder if that will be less true in the new revenue-sharing era. The way to get recruits may just be win games and pay money.

These things are all relative. 2010 was a great year for TCU football, one of the five or six greatest ever. The highlights of our home schedule were Baylor and BYU; everything else was dreadful. https://gofrogs.com/sports/football/schedule/2010 The sixteen-member Big Numeral gives us home...

I completely agree from TCU's perspective. I'd rather be with the three other Texas schools. But Iowa State is a charter member of the Big 6 (eventually 12) and they would not be at all happy about getting cut off from their most historic conference rivals in favor of annual tilts with the likes...

I completely agree, though this alignment is rough on Iowa State. I think it works better if you slide Oklahoma State down with us, Baylor and Tech, put Colorado with Iowa State and the Kansas schools, and shunt Houston off to the old Big East pod with Mickey Mouse State, West Va. and Cincy.

Not an issue this year, but call the AD's office and tell him you'd rather have SMU at home every second year than Abilene Christian x 2 annually.

Please tell there's ginger hair under that superimposed helmet. I'm guessing from the eyebrows, no. But they look fake too, so maybe he's bald.
