    Sounds Like IRS Might Get Serious About Collectives

    Honestly, I kind of agree. If the top of FBS football disassociated itself from universities (i.e., athletes no longer were students with all the obligations that entails), it would be a game changer for me. I didn't go to college for athletics and I'd have about as much passion for watching...

    Principal Financial-Remote work

    I'm a strong believer in 80/20 remote/in-person. The 20% in person is for creativity and collaboration and the 80% remote is for actually being able to focus and get things done.

    I agree. I would be interested in knowing if non-athletes got caught/prosecuted though. Perhaps the method of data collection wouldn't apply. Perhaps there are non-athletes being investigated like, but we wouldn't know. More of a curiosity.

    There are good reasons to not make public statements regarding investigations like these as a head FB coach. Coach might have taken action quickly to identify any and all players involved internally. You keep those players out, but shouldn't be saying anything that influences the investigation.

    ISU Gambling Megathread

    I guess i was naive to think players wouldnt be stupid enough to bet on their own sport, much less their own games. With the numbers coming out, I would not be surprised if this kind of thing is a lot more widespread throughout CFB than I would have thought. Seems the issue is just not looking...

    I do not really understand a desire to keep them together. They can still play each other out of conference in all sports. Being in two different conferences seems similar to diversifying for security purposes.

    UCONN only is possible of Arizona stays in the PAC. I am not sure that happens.

    Misc: Messi joins Inter Miami

    Best part of Messi's game is that it has never been reliant on pure athleticism, so he will likely have a more successful latter part of his career than most.

    If a school is asking for uneven revenue distribution, that would be a non-starter to me. They'll ask to stop equal revenue sharing in a league where they might lose a bit off the top, but are wanting to move to a league where they will likely be a beneficiary of it. If that isn't the...

    Considering the number of sports and schools caught up in the gambling stuff, I'm not going to be that hard on a coach for it happening once. Learn from it and make sure it doesn't repeat. We really need to look at this in context. The covid year was great and we shouldn't discount it. We...

    ISU Gambling Megathread

    Do tell: how does one know whether or not a group is fixing games after a legitimate complaint is filed? If you discover, upon initial inquiry, that a good number of people within the target group are acting illicitly in a manner apparently consistent with what the complaint alleges, how would...

    Pretty similar to underage drinking, IMO. Both are fine in moderation for adults beyond a certain age. Both can lead to destructive addictions. Both have legal ramifications for underage use. Due to the technological nature of the issue, it's easier to track gambling. The NCAA and college...

    What I'm saying is clearly that isn't good enough to avoid problems.

    Gambling is an addiction. Books need to be held liable for underage gambling.

    I just don't think a P2 is feasible unless you have complete division between P2 and non-P2 alongside a removal of the rules governing NCAA athletes to enable it becoming more resembling of a true NFL minor league.

    You can't look at it as an "on their own" kind of thing, anyways. It's cheaper for a network to pay another $64 million for two teams in that time zone than it is for a network to pay $200mil for a whole conference when you are really just interested in the 2 teams.

    Thoughts on social media sites? UPDATE: Apple, IBM, Disney, etc. stopped advertising on Twitter - Musk suing

    "Everyone" is an interesting turn of phrase considering they've been hemorrhaging advertisers and users lately. As for not going places, I think we have some agreement. It's hard to go anywhere you want to be when you have a negative cash flow.
