The super level-headed guy from the politics threads called an old man a cunt today. CFB is crazy.
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.
Re: NCAA FB 2023
You sure about that? It would appear to me college football meets the definition of interstate commerce. Isn't that how the US congress got involved with player concussions a few years ago? If this scheme goes back years, Michigan AND the Big Ten want this to go away quickly. And other Big Ten teams sharing signals affects the integrity of the sport itself.duff wrote: ↑Thu Nov 16, 2023 7:56 pmUntil the pay the employees on the field, it is not a business.EnochRoot wrote: ↑Thu Nov 16, 2023 6:34 pmWhy is a billion dollar industry not business? They agree to the rules on the football field, where sign stealing can occur (in the game). Otherwise, why wouldn’t intellectual property laws ascertain to this situation? The FBI got involved because he was stealing information across state lines, right?
ETA - Turns out the FBI was involved in the case surrounding recently fired OC, Matt Weiss.

Maybe CMU will sue.

Re: NCAA FB 2023
Before NIL players were paid off by boaters. There is no integrity in CFB or most college sports. All schools fucking cheat. Big deal. Do it better. So sick of moral outrage over sportsball. Just pay the players.
To quote both Bruce Prichard and Tony Schiavone, "Fuck Duff Meltzer."

Re: NCAA FB 2023
Would love to see a Venn diagram of college football fans whinging “but the rules!” about Michigan who are also dragging the NCAA about not giving JMU a bowl waiver.

1) I'm prepared to eat a gigantic shit sandwich on the "rogue actor" route. You guys read it here first. Can't say much more than that.
2) The threads tying Ryan Day to this are going to come out. I know many of you don't think that much of this, but from a rivalry and general shit-housery standpoint, that's going to be a very big deal. And there's a LOT of dirt about how they get into MI computers. Speaking of the FBI and such.

Re: NCAA FB 2023
If you get your daily or regular sports news from ESPN, you are being fed a certain perspective on this that just doesn't exist elsewhere. It's pretty close to Fox News in terms of how it's covering this. Yahoo, Fox Sports and even The Athletic have been pretty solid and even handed. Between Finebaum, Steven A and Pete Thamel, ESPN has been flamethrowing the entire time.

Kinda funny there was so much handwringing over any kind of penalty here while the PL just docked Everton 70% of their points on the season for trying too hard to get better.

Booster involved in the funding, one of MI's coaches just got fired for "lack of cooperation with the NCAA investigation" and somebody was fucking with evidence.
ETA - Actually, looks like the fired coach (Partridge) was the one trying to erase shit and that's why he was fired.
Still... shit sandwich...

Wow so he didn’t just pay for it himself and then not share or secretly share with people who had no idea. Truly shocking development.

Crazy that NMSU is pretty good at football. They used to be right with UNM in terms of sucking ass. Their basketball team was trending up too until the hazing shit. Las Cruces is not a place I'd want to go as a recruit so kudos to the Aggies (they still fucking suck.)

Re: NCAA FB 2023
Dino Babers fired at Syracuse. They couldn’t risk letting Babers stick around to beat Wake (dropped 7 of 8, averaging 14 points/game, maxed out at 21 in that span) and get bowl eligible.

I don’t watch ESPN beyond live events. Seriously, I haven’t watched an episode of SportsCenter in at least a year.

Also, this board is ‘woke’ almost to a fault. Using that word is akin to using the ‘N’ word, right?
In other words, you lose your audience when you use words like that. If you’re on a mobile device and you don’t have time to type out why Finebaum is this or that, fine. Do it later.

Re: NCAA FB 2023
1) If it’s directed at a woman, maybe.
2) Not sure too many Black people would sign off on that analogy.
As far as Finebaum, he’s not a serious person. He was the template Skip Bayless used for his shtick. It’s obvious he doesn’t believe half of what he says and just wants to get a reaction from people like a petulant 6-year-old. It’s stupid and I have no patience for it nor anyone amused by it.

Re: NCAA FB 2023
The word is used in other countries (notably England, Ireland and Australia) as a harsh but rather mundane curse
Directed at women in America, yes, especially for the generations covered on this board, highly offensive and I've never directed that word at a female.
Calling Paul Finebaum a cunt is a weird thing to do in America. I own that. But saying it's roughly equivalent to using the n word is bizarre.
