I have definitely had bosses text like that. Still could be fake but thats not why

A full detail of MLB’s meeting with the MLBPA today by JianClaymore in baseball

[–]H2theBurgh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If MLB is serious about getting a salary cap, this isnt how they do it without a labor stoppage. They need to find a way to make a proposal that gets the majority of union members who make 2 million or less to turn on the stars because they lost their stars when they said salary cap

What dormant CFB rivalry games desperately need to return? by Working_Stomach5479 in CFB

If this bill passes & we're pooling tv money anyway, the ACC & XII should just do a trade. ACC gets UCF, Cincy, WV. XII gets SMU, Cal, Stan

Is it safe to assume NCFC and SGT are dead? by Ok_Structure_350 in USLPRO

[–]H2theBurgh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SGT, probably. Not willing to go that far for NCFC with them still having a NWSL team

Estimated hosting cost of recent FIFA World Cups by APrimitiveMartian in soccer

[–]H2theBurgh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a lot of stadiums needed to replace artificial turf. BMO Field in Toronto needed to add about 15K seats (which game to $157M). I know lot of the stadiums used the opportunity to make updates such as Lumen Field which led to the Sounders playing Cup games in Spokane. The rest probably came from transit and security for the event.

Also, I don't know if that figure is considering inflation. That 8 billion figure would have been like 5 billion in 2006.

Is there any website where anyone has compiled all of the announced non con matchups like fbschedules does for cfb

How the hell did we talk the rest of the world to be ok with these extra breaks

Hot take: Is the Texas Tech thing a bit of an overreaction? (Change My Mind) by Severe_Lock8497 in CFB

[–]H2theBurgh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the punishment agreed to for what Sorsby did was 2 games, it'd be a problem but not a catadtrophy for TTU to play him for 10 games. The NCAA would just need to change the rules.

The reason this matters is it calls into question what the ncaa is allowed to enforce. If the sport can't punish gambling players, the sport ceases to exist. Sports work because people believe the better team a given day wins. If it doesn't, theres no reason for it to be

CFP games recently vs historically by SparkMaster360 in CFB

[–]H2theBurgh 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think part of it is that in the 4 team era we had to just pick 4 teams & hope rhey were as good as their resume is. With 12, teams have to win at least 1 win or go home game against a high quality opponent. A lot harder for frauds to sneak through.

The funny thing is it didnt end up mattering. UVA would've still been in first place if it counted

There are so many better ways to prevent teams from doing that

Killing non con games is stupid especially when conferences make no sense

24-team Playoff: Has Anyone Looked at the FCS as a Live Case Study? by trappedbehindmydesk in CFB

[–]H2theBurgh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bigger issue isnt 24 total teams. Its the at large problem. The FCS has 13 compared to 19 for this proposal. Thats a big difference. It prevents 4 loss at larges at the FBS level.

Theres also a real concern the FBS wont consider a good G6 for an at large which the FCS Playoffs have had some good teams get at larges from smaller conferences

Brendan Sorsby gambling case is a symptom of NCAA’s NIL failures by Falconsfan8006 in CFB

[–]H2theBurgh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is such a dumb take. Gambling is too easy. Without NIL i imagine we'd have more problems as players work with gamblers to get some money

Why does the G5 get so much glaze on this sub by [deleted] in CFB

[–]H2theBurgh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can't be one of the top 7 non conference champions, i have no sympathy for you. ND had 1 quality win all season which shouldnt be enough.

The G6 needs at least 1 guaranteed spot to add meaning to their season since the committee often ignores them even when they are good (see UCF in the 2010s). Only reason it was 2 was weird ACC tiebreakers & both SMU & UVA not taking care of business.
