    Wendy's planning surge pricing on burgers

    Their breakfast is underrated as well. Their spicy chicken biscuit is right up there with the best fast food breakfasts on the market.

    Tennessee judge grants injunction against the NCAA (NIL related)

    From my observation, I think some people like the warm fuzzy they got when they could pretend that it was an even playing field, even though it never has been. I won't speak for @isucy86 , because I don't know his/her personal thoughts, but I think at least some fans would much prefer a return...

    Wendy's planning surge pricing on burgers

    I wonder if this is already happening at other places. I travelled for work this past week, and every morning, my travelling companion stopped at the same McDonald's, on the way to the office, for breakfast. He ordered the exact same thing every time: sausage McMuffin meal. No changes. No...

    It doesn't matter what they were trying to do. What they are "actually" doing is artificially limiting compensation for their labor. They fought it for a long time, and honestly were able to resist changing for a lot longer than they should have, but the walls are closing in now.

    NFL teams aren't funneling money to players outside of their contract, but you can bet that the specific opportunity for endorsement at one team over another is a factor when it comes to attracting free agents. Big brands/markets can offer more. Brock Purdy has more opportunities for...

    Tennessee judge grants injunction against the NCAA (NIL related)

    Regarding the comment on the anticompetitive nature of the system, our judicial system has laid it out there. It's not that a scholarship (tuition, room, and board) is anticompetitive in itself. It's the idea that schools have colluded to limit compensation to only that. Look at it like this...

    Tennessee judge grants injunction against the NCAA (NIL related)

    A collective bargaining agreement can't just be created in isolation. There has to be an entity (a players union) that the NCAA/conferences/schools would negotiate with. And at this point, I'm not sure that one is coming. And even if it did, why would some of these higher profile players...

    The bolded is the primary disconnect that some people seem to have. This is a violation of antitrust laws. It's blatantly anticompetitive. To allow this kind of limitation, the NCAA needs an exemption from Congress or a collectively bargained agreement with a players union.

    Return of the Superdog!

    Back when gyros were not as ubiquitous, I might have been more inclined to agree. But when Arby's sells a gyro on their regular menu, the after bar street cart variety just isn't as special. It's not like they're fresh slicing their meat off of a rotisserie.

    Tennessee judge grants injunction against the NCAA (NIL related)

    You are mistaking disbelief in the effects of NIL vs. not caring about those effects. Myth: I don't think NIL will cause players to leave smaller schools and go to larger ones with more money. Actual opinion: Players should be able to seek whatever they see as the best position for them. If...

    Nah. Goodbye NCAA, maybe. But they're still going to be playing college sports for a long time.

    No. They aren't. They're asking Congress for an exemption, but it's a long shot at this point.

    Tennessee judge grants injunction against the NCAA (NIL related)

    True, but I still say it's significant, because NIL collectives sort of sprung up as a gray area after the NCAA issued their initial stance allowing NIL. Their status within the NCAA rules hadn't really been tested, and I think everyone knew it would end up in court if/when the league tried to...

    Tennessee judge grants injunction against the NCAA (NIL related)

    Hadn't seen this posted anywhere yet, but it's a pretty big deal. Effectively the ruling prevents the NCAA from banning third parties from paying athletes to attend a particular school. It's a temporary injunction, but the judge was pretty clear in saying that the NCAA's policy most likely...

    ***2023-24 Mens College Basketball Thread***

    My favorite argument from a has-been fanbase is the whole "The sport is a better when we're relevant" angle. How self absorbed can you get? Like the rest of us are thinking "you know this season is pretty good, but I just can't help but feel it'd be a little bit better if the Hoosiers were in...
