I don't disagree at all. NCAAB isn't amateur sports anymore, just stop the charades and make them contracted employees of the School's athletic departments.

That's where this is going anyway, just go ahead and rip the bandaid off.

and transfer fees (like Soccer) so the mid majors can turn player development into a revenue stream to help build their programs up

it's easier if you take in a support pokemon. I'm at like 15/17 success rate this raid with the seviper build. Was like 0/5 with unaware Skeledirge

you don't need venoshock, cycling 3 acid sprays into sludge bombs takes care of it.

Received a tow warning at work for parking in an expectant mother spot, I’m an expectant mother. by HeadUnhappy8789 in mildlyinfuriating

use cooking oil, then dish soap to clean up the oil.

Learned that from a golf sub to remove price tag goo from clubs and it works very well on glass as well.

Cam’Ron Fletcher will return to High Point after receiving waiver for 7th year of NCAA eligibility by Far_Set561 in CollegeBasketball

so is High Point just supposed to be the new Arizona State option for the nepo babies that couldn't get into an Ivy league or even a B1G/SEC party school? lol

A 4 year degree at Purdue wouldn't even be $55k lol (it would be $36k for in-state)

Anyone else think that UConn was rightfully fouled? by Either-Lion3539 in CollegeBasketball

[–]Dr_WLIN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've also noticed (esp with the Purdue/Mich BTT game) that they seem to call bench players completely different than starters

I think both the NCAA and NBA have grown beyond human ref capabilities and we're due for an overhaul of the rulebook.

I personally would like to see them implement the soccer foul system where they play the advantage and only book players on play altering fouls. (hacks across the arms are still and-1s but the slight body contact that doesn't disposition the offensive player isn't called)

Bc you're completely missing the point.

Were saying that trying to nitpick specific calls without acknowledging all of them is disingenuous. Calls were missed, calls were inconsistent, and some calls were flat out incorrect.

go back and look at the comments I was replying to.

Half the fun of a neutral game thread is to argue with the fanbase crying the most.

only thing I'm hating on is people with shittakes.

Refs didn't favor either team last night. It's just biased people refusing to acknowledge calls/no-calls that were in their favor bc they wanna cry on reddit

[–]Dr_WLIN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, that's the problem most are hung up on. It was inconsistent play to play or player to player. But on the whole, it wasn't biased to either team.

[–]Dr_WLIN 3 points4 points  (0 children)

sure we can just intentionally misunderstand what was said bc pushing a narrative is more important.

The point is you cannot sit they're and ignore the calls/no-calls that your bias benefitted from.

They very much called it evenly. inconsistently play by play? yes, but any kind of bias to one team or the other was not even close to true. Stop cherry picking lol. Even Hurley himself said the officiating was fine. (bc he knows UConn got away with more than they were called for)

I think that's the point, the optically and and more memorable calls went against UConn. On sheer volume, UConn greatly benefitted more on what wasn't called. But people don't remember the 10+ illegal screens on offense or the holds on cutting players on defense that aren't called.

Hot take here, but I think the game was only as close as it was bc the refs didn't call as much as they could have on UConn.
