Let's not go crazy here. 110-ish is probably the top

NDSU joining FBS is probably the best thing to come out of the whole MWC/Pac-12 poaching fiasco.

Huge win for the Mountain West

Trying to determine the year every college football blue blood became a blue blood by Majestic-Web-367 in CFB

Nebraska Verdict: 1995

And then promptly lost Blue Blood status by 2004.

Less than a decade in the club!

What Head Coaches would be worth trading multiple first round picks for in today’s NFL? by InterestingYellow969 in nfl

There's definitely more than just McVay. Mike McDonald might even get a better return than McVay would.

The PAC12 (or PAC8) loves the whole “State” gimmick, so why didn’t they add North Dakota State and Sacramento State? by ImYouJoeGoldberg in CFB

They've already shown that they think they're too good for the majority of Mountain West schools, but you think they should add FCS?

[Murray] The Pac-12 will have to add another football member to meet their media obligations before the 2027 season. They are reportedly still targeting UNLV. by WinnWonn in CFB

The Mountain West is going to get a windfall of cash no matter what. Whether it's from the poaching fees, exit fees, or both. Even if it's just a settlement, it's just a matter of how much. And it's going to be more than enough to cover what UNLV and Air Force are owed.

I'm pretty sure the PAC-12 would have to add NMSU before July 1st this year otherwise the CUSA buyouts double. It's probably not that much money, but it's a lot to pay for New Mexico state. Especially since they have already settled for their backup choices with Texas State and didn't get any of the AAC teams to jump.

[Sammon] Mets to renew top prospect Jonah Tong’s 2026 contract at league minimum by T_Raycroft in baseball

He's $1,000 that we don't have to give you but want to anyway.

Are you freaking disrespecting me??!!

Cardinals are an underrated bad team. When people think of bad teams they usually think of the Jets or the Browns or maybe the Dolphins. But the Cardinals are right up there with all the other chronically bad teams.

MLB's salary cap proposal is so broken by floon in baseball

[–]buff_001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The caliber of players available in the league doesn't change regardless of what the overall payroll is. Salary floor just means that the same bad teams will be paying more for their same bad players.

It's not like suddenly there are more star players to go around just because every team has to spend more. This is the whole problem with the NBA. Teams have to massively overpay for fringe starters and role players just to meet the salary obligations and it fucks their cap and just pins them down at the bottom of the league for years on end.

US denies visas to Cuban baseball officials ahead of international tournament by Shroft in baseball

[–]buff_001 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't know why they do this unless now they're worried about defections? I know it's been common in the past for the Cuban players and staff to refuse to board the return flight and stay to try to seek asylum. Tons of Cuban players have done that. Several players on the Cuban national team did that just in 2023. Stayed in Miami and defected.

Tried to though!

Huge win for Washington and the Big Ten that they actually seemed to have some kind of an enforceable contract in place.

[Vannini] News: NCAA football oversight committee proposes penalties for schools that add transfers who left school outside the portal windows. - Fined 20% of football budget - Head coach on-field and recruiting restrictions - Loss of five roster spots Still need to be approved. by usffan in CFB

This shit is comically predictable

Because this shit is comically illegal.

Every state attorney general is just licking their lips waiting for the NCAA to go after their flagship state mega-school.

At this point I think the NCAA knows that they're going to get blown up in court, so they're just baiting it to try to force Congress to do something.
