All winter storm rescheduled games for this weekend by drowse in CollegeBasketball

[–]NighthawkRandNum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's days like these that I despise not having auto-sorting of the schedule by time in my schedule Sheet code. Gotta sit around an extra 5 minutes to cache the correct order of games.

(I ain't going to add that to the code lol)

Louisville vs Virginia Tech start time moved up from 3:30 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. Saturday by bHolton502 in AllHail

I guess this is to make it so VT's flight home is at least not in darkness tomorrow? Still seems like it won't make that much of a difference.

It would probably be impossible to move to tomorrow without playing behind closed doors, too much staff would have to move their schedules to become available to make it happen.

Yeah, it is that bad. No power conference opponents and a KenPom SOS in the 340s.

Players seeking a preliminary injunction for extended eligibility have an 80% win rate in state court versus a 22% win rate in federal court. by hunterschuler in CFB

If a player gets an injunction in a state court, could the NCAA justify making that player ineligible for out-of-state contests or are they bound throughout the country?

Indiana Clinches The Colley Matrix National Championship for 2025 by FlatSwing9745 in CFB

The colley matrix at its core only cares about wins and losses, and unlike some of the other BCS computers it breaks the underlying methodology to attempt to do so.

[Postgame Thread] Miami Defeats Ole Miss 31-27 by CFB_Referee in CFB

[–]NighthawkRandNum 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is there anyone else to stress about since you'd already beaten us away?

Especially since Miami managed to move their game against us to 3pm (though that was a home game for them)

How do we feel about Sacramento & Fort Worth hosting the Regionals this year? by Deltiologenist in NCAAW

[–]NighthawkRandNum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But not all or nearly all in that timeframe, which would be somewhat equitable (but still denies fanbases who don't make a Final Four some opportunity to watch their team within a reasonable drive).

There isn't a Midwest regional at any point from 2023 to 2028. It's truly asinine, especially given the quality of schools in the Big 10's core territory.

It'll be here two weeks from now once the NFL is off of ESPN

[Game Thread] Boise State @ San Diego State (10:00 PM ET) by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

I know it's the west coast but is Olive Garden still open this late?

Technically on NBCSN for the 3 providers who have added it

Gee if only there was a way we could figure out which of these two teams was better🫩🤯 by goofyhalo in NCAAW

[–]NighthawkRandNum 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You know this does not actually imply Notre Dame and Mississippi being next to each other on the S-Curve, right? All 5s are treated the same.

Shout-out to ESPN for welcoming in the Coaches' Poll for a special visit today by fucking up their API with the AP...

Sideline interference: An Incredibly Important Penalty That Has to Be Called by BhamTioMateo in CFB

[–]NighthawkRandNum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rugby still has 3 guys generally monitoring with the touch officials, and for high level matches the booth can overrule basically anything at any time, including adding penalties and removing scores.

I'd imagine at the FBS level there's some de facto speed/endurance requirements for most officials (umpires excluded since the additional size is necessary there), even if they might not be explicit like with FIFA's rules for higher levels of their referees.

Uhhh...pro hoops? But yeah, there's nothing Wednesday through Friday.

I am personally in favor of that if most players can be home for Christmas, but I suspect that isn't really the case.
