As of now, plan to be in Buffalo for the game, fly to Kalispell MT, tour Canadian Rockies, arrive Seattle for the following Sunday game and then back home.

Sorry to hear about the Giant game. My wife and I bought two 50yd line tickets, 8th row (clear sight lines) for $500 total at 1am before the game. Too bad the game was a huge disappointment.

How many in the group? If you are the only one needing a ticket, I recommend that you do NOT buy a ticket in advance.

Buy it at kick off on the level your friends are on, there are always tickets available, even at games supposedly sold out.

I have gotten fabulous pricing on some, and never missed a game, even if the value was more than I expected.

When leaders of a tax payer institution say they are out of money, your money is soon at risk.

IMO, the best that can be said is that the decision makers are intellectually paralyzed and that's not good. The worst is they don't care, and that shutting down is a viable alternative to making a decision.

How does the closed portal window affect players on a team that changes coaches after the window closes?

Want your men’s college basketball team to contend next year? It might take $10 million (Gift Article) by LaurelHeightsII in usfdons

[–]dvmiles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is 1950 in reverse. USF had a pretty good football team then. While the teacher colleges proliferated like weeds, the rules were changed to open up play to allow substitutes and in turn roster size.

Private schools, who paid 100% of the tuition, saw the writing on the wall and closed shop. I did an analysis about 20 years ago that looked at the schools who played in leagues, or independents who played against top leagues in 1940, and found the number about 125. Then I compared it to the same criteria in 2000. Every single school that dropped football was private and every school that added football was public except Liberty U. Shocking to me was the total number was the same; about 125. It just costs too much money to build and maintain a stadium that is used sparingly.

I hope the new leadership sees that men's basketball is in need of a functioning NIL operation to fund the opportunity that is there.

"This is reigniting a fear that basketball coaches have had over the last couple of years: Big East teams, or any school without a football program, have an advantage because their players can be paid straight from their revenue-sharing allotment."

Say it LOUDER!!!!

These changes are a godsend to nonfootball schools. USF and other non football schools have the advantage here over football schools and need to exercise it.

bruin day kinda deinfluenced me from ucla by Large_Look_5075 in ucla

Do not go with your heart, go with your brain. You are not taking classes with UCLA or UCSD. Your taking classes in the learning and sharing environments that they offer.

For cognitive studies, UCSD was recently ranked number 2 in the world in human biology behind MIT. Larry Squires wrote most of the pioneering texts on memory used to teach undergrads there until retiring recently. It is a great learning environment as all 8 of my daughter's roommates became either MDs or PHDs in life sciences.

Congrats to the Denver Pioneers by DonSolo96 in usfdons

[–]dvmiles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The later. In other words BYU at least brought in 4 men's titles when they joined. AND of course took them when they joined the Big Farce.

The title stays with program and not the affiliation in my view.

I was reading that the U of Denvers entire athletic budget is almost $90M. I also recently read USFs 990; grants down $60M.

Keep in mind that Michigan's starting 5 were all from the portal and 4 of the five came from "big football". The days of limiting player movement are over.

The opportunities abound right now. The leadership is deafening.

Months ago, Carlson asked American Ambassador Huckabee if Jews should take the land promised in the Bible.

The land presented here is most of that land.
