Crotch Bat posted:I mean the rule is strictly to prohibit administrative or "volunteer" hirings and you know drat good and well why they happen. Coaching hires are still completely legal. I guess I just figured most of the coaching hires were the same thing. Like we'll let you 'coach' as long as your kid comes. As regards MU BB I suppose he's at least coached women's basketball, and whatever he did under Romar before.

Oh that agent who had charges brought a while back for paying UNC players plead guilty today. Just in case there was any doubt about that. e: haha look at this quote by the quote:"Years ago when this all began, people in the athlete agent industry scoffed at us for looking into these cases," North Carolina Secretary of State Elaine F. Marshall said in a statement. "They said 'This is how it works and you can't change it.' But today, everyone in that business knows that when you come to North Carolina, you had better follow the law. And if you don't, we can and we will enforce the law." The guy got 30 months probation, a suspended jail sentence of 6-8 months and a $5k fine. 7 years of work went into that. I'm sure agents are just quaking in their boots Elaine.

Quandary posted:Legit question is making your school after a group a bad thing always? Obviously if it's a slur IE Redskins that's awful but having them be the Aztecs isn't necessarily bad or derogatory. The cultural appropriation is generally the problem I think? Think of the old Illini thing where someone would dress up as an Indian chief and dancing around, poo poo like that. Or the Chiefs, like there's nothing at all bad about the name itself but I understand why some native americans would be pissed about all the fans showing up in headdresses and a white cheerleader dressed in a vaguely native american fashion riding around on a horse after Touchdowns and poo poo. I have no clue how much or little SDSU does with Aztec things.

When I was around six I asked my older brother where "Sooners" came from and he told me it was because they would sooner be somewhere other than Oklahoma.

I kind of admire the man. Imagine looking like that, having the record at Arkansas he does, saying things that have the entire nation laughing at how stupid they are....and yet still being so utterly confident in himself.

Jesus Christ Charlie Strong can't catch a break. So you might have heard USF player LaDarrius Jackson was arrested for sexual battery and false imprisonment Monday night. And you might remember the USF kid who got shot after threatening another man with a gun. Today was the first day Jackson was in court: Judge Margaret Taylor posted:I graduated from USF in 1989, long before there was a football team. And while USF may not be the top-ranked school in the nation, I was never ashamed of being an alum until now. I’m embarrassed and ashamed, Mr. Jackson. Let’s just say my USF diploma is not proudly hanging in my office right now. Fine so far, Jackson is a piece of crap if the allegations are remotely true. But then she went off on Charlie: Judge Margaret Taylor posted:This court, and I’m sure I’m not alone, questions whether you have control over your players. It’s fairly clear that you do not have control of them off the field. And I guess only time will tell whether you have control over them on the field. Strong has been there since December and recruited neither of these players. He already kicked the gun guy off the team and if he hasn't kicked Jackson off the team it's because this all started about 36 hours before these remarks were made. e: Strong was not actually present in the court room I don't believe Grittybeard fucked around with this message at 17:00 on May 4, 2017 |

Crotch Bat posted:Bill Snyder has bad opinions? Like about Werther's or what? Ell Roberson maybe sexually assaulted someone before a bowl game and Snyder let him play before he was cleared by the DA (I have no clue how shady or not shady this whole thing was). Then he wrote some open letter to KSU fans about how young people shouldn't be having sex in his opinion or this never would have been a problem. Also he thinks every college football game should be played at noon on Saturday. And he hates the media in general. He's just an old dude with old dude opinions really.

Mr. World posted:Dave Bliss still coaches basketball while he's an insurance adjuster. And he doubled down on the bullshit drug story earlier this year. His show cause was up, he was coaching some NAIA school, all he had to do was say he did something really dumb and apologize--or hell just refuse to do the documentary. Instead he made the same drug claims again that every investigation (both by law enforcement and the NCAA) has found to be completely untrue. He had to resign that NAIA job and he'll probably go back to coaching high school somewhere. Dave Bliss is a special kind of stupid.

Those are some pretty ok basketball programs other than Memphis right now (Jesus what is Tubby Smith doing?) so maybe the fans would be ok with it? Not UConn level, but solid enough to belong in the conference.

I think they'd rather be in the SEC if they had a choice between that and the ACC, but either way yeah there's no particular love between WVU and the Big 12. There is a Grant of Rights that would probably be a pain to get out of for the next few years, although I'm sure it could be done if someone wanted to badly enough.
