I don’t know about the soccer pages but a lot of the hockey sites were basically zombies, one content person and maybe like 5-10 active users. SBNation did it to themselves though, if you demand an insane content schedule while not paying people you’re gonna lose all your talent and then the readers will leave too, this has been a long time coming as sad as it is.

Also doesn’t help that there’s 30,000 pixels of lovely jumpy ads between the article and the comments and you have to hope the page doesn’t hard refresh to make you scroll through it all again for phantom views.

I remember when you could go to SB Nation's front page on a given day and find a bunch of stuff/writers you'd actually want to read.

The court ordered discovery? This is either going to get settled quickly or we'll see a lot of damning NCAA emails.

Dexo posted:https://twitter.com/McCannSportsLaw/status/1625990303487238147 Note that this is the appeal of the rejection of the NCAA's motion to dismiss from 2 years ago in this case. When this appeal is rejected, it's just going to go back to pretrial discovery. It's just going to keep on going until the heat death of the universe.

The NCAA is going to fight this to the death but the fact that they're repeatedly getting their asses handed to them in court makes me happy, at least. Even stodgy old judges are like look you're clearly employing these people

Stodgy old judges went to d3 or ivy league schools 40 years ago. They could give 2 shits about college sports. People who aren't invested in the lie can see that the players are employees really quickly.

People who aren't invested in the lie can see that the players are employees really quickly. i think you'd be more likely to have a judge invested in the spirit of amateur athletics if they went somewhere like michigan or uva than if they went somewhere like cornell or harvard apparent agency over employees is a concept that you learn your first week of torts for liability purposes and that's a first year class the bigger problem is that the student-athlete is (well, was) an entrenched part of society and most judges are loathe to overturn that from the bench, even if it's a huge lie

Even stodgy old judges are like look you're clearly employing these people Yeah - nobody quoting the Tweet or article noted this, but another article stated one of the judges demanded to know from the NCAA lawyers how/why the "Student-Athletes" shouldn't be considered employees under federal law, because to them what they did looked a lot like it fit the definition of employment. It was not exactly a good day in court for the NCAA. Crazy Ted fucked around with this message at 03:55 on Feb 18, 2023 |

It's sad how long college athletes had to deal with not having NIL rights and also amateurism as a concept considering they folded like wet toilet paper once they received a serious court challenge

Yea 20-25 years ago you had P5 schools (it wasn’t called P5 then though) who wouldn’t have every football game on TV, and even if they were on TV, they might get some local cable company that covered only a section of the state. The money for college sports has absolutely blown up in the last 15 years. Plus the consolidation of the conferences, and them starting their own networks makes it harder to argue they even care about the academic portion of this at all.

This is going to sound weird, but going back to watch Coach shows a hugely different version of college football. Like there's a whole episode about them getting their first nationally televised game. Not just that season. Ever. They get shelled by Penn State.
