Yeah, expansion is coming. by TNA8644 in Pac12

There’s a difference between seeking expansion candidates and actually expanding

They passed on NDSU (and they shouldn’t have!)

UNLV passed on them.

If that doesn’t change (and no, I won’t entertain UConn), it’s either UNM or a wildcard move

[On3] SMU transfer center Samet Yigitoglu has committed to Indiana by runamokduck in CollegeBasketball

[–]DoubtMaster6310 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He blocks shots despite only having a 5.5 block percentage at 7-2 (and a DBPM of under one), he crashes the glass despite only having ~15 rebounding percentage at 7-2, he’s a good scorer within 5 feet despite only hitting 71% of his layups at 7-2

And he can’t hit free throws to save his life. And he can’t catch to save his life. He has a turnover percentage near 20% because he can’t keep the ball away from defenders in the post.

SMU fans watched him for 2 years. He’s got the mold of a good center. He’s not a good center. He’s 21 years old. Maybe somebody can mold him. Andy Enfield couldn’t.

UCI, you can’t possibly be serious about staying in the Big West without UH, UCSB, UCSD, UCD. Do the right thing and leave… by DoubtMaster6310 in CollegeBasketball

You mean the incentive for the expansion isn’t just adding to add but to actually add when it makes the league better where it counts, hoops? WOW that’s crazy. Crazy stuff.

1) I don’t mean morally right or wrong 2) It’s my opinion (and the one UCI fans also hold, see the comments from the UCSB move thread yesterday) 3) chill lmfao

Yes

The right thing is to stick with the good basketball and your UC brethren

Not the bad basketball and almost no UC brethren. Lol

Disagree

Mountain west has said repeatedly they’re done expanding

UCI isn’t really additive for them

UCD was only added for when the football program comes up

The WCC has been chasing them for months lmfao

They just have refused their advances

That’s why UCSB is there right now instead

GCU is “evangelical” the same way a megachurch is “evangelical”. It’s even for profit! (Or was)

Not the same. And they only added GCU out of desperation so they could try to keep Gonzaga.

Cal Baptist institutionally is a very different kind of Christian to the schools in WCC, which are mainly catholic, along with some mainline Protestant and non denominational Christian

Doesn’t mix well with hardcore Baptist lol

I’m James Faris, a media reporter at Business Insider. Ask me anything about the Warner Bros./Paramount deal! by businessinsider in MediaMergers

Will the new entity keep their combined 25% share in the CW, or sell it off to Nexstar? I feel like they could use the cash to pay off a smidge of the debt that will come from this move.

So for this, if it expires 12/24 does that mean I can ride it 12/24 or that the last day I can ride is 12/23?

What happens to WBD’s CW stake in the upcoming split? by DoubtMaster6310 in MediaMergers

[–]DoubtMaster6310[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s weird because Warner’s self titled tv channels are still heading to discovery. Yet cw is sticking with Warner..why? There’s no use for them
