Re: NAR: Seattle and Grand Canyon are part of the WCC

Re: MW transfer portal tracker

Obi and Jadyn are brothers in at least one sense of the word, but I'm guessing some people mistook JT for Obi's younger brother Jacob who plays for the Knicks.

There is zero chance they can afford Madsen's buyout. Maybe had he not signed an extension after the season, but no way they can do it now. Scotty suggested Barrett Peery.

Re: "College Super League"

The concept of promotion/relegation might work well for non-P4 College Football. As would the idea of a real CFP12 or CFP16 tournament. I just never see the P4 ceding much control. Instead, what we will get is a carefully over-lorded and curated FBS College Football Playoff structure designed the P...

Re: To all members of the press who read the board

Honestly - asking good questions is so easy and so many beat reporters and media folks are so bad at it. I get concern about access (legitimate or not) if journalists start asking hard questions, but none of these are much more than softball questions anyway. Do better.
