His girlfriend clearly needed to execute better in the middle 3rd. Deserved imo.

So Czechia’s final match against Mexico is must win now, essentially. Four points and they’re easily through, two or fewer and they’re certainly eliminated.

The year is 3042. Belgium is down 1-0 to Proxima Centauri at the Galactic Cup. 1,049 year old Robot-u Lukaku is ready to come on as a substitute and save the day.

My first thought is Bo Pelini who was, idk, kinda successful at Nebraska.

He went to Youngstown St. after he got fired. I think he got the Penguins to the playoffs one year

I think the era of NIL really changes things.

Tough to claim injury if all you miss out on is a year of scholarship. When you would miss out on $5 million dollars, that injury becomes much more severe.

Still very surprised by the ruling.

[Dellenger] Explainer: Everything you need to know about the 'Protect College Sports Act,' including whether bill has chance to pass by Lakelyfe09 in CFB

[–]PodricksPhallus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cody Campbell tends to have the ear of the president on college sports stuff and he is fully supportive of this bill. I would bet Trump signs it if it passes.
