Ben Kredich rode a bus down a busy road until Knoxville canceled the route. Ben voiced that he believed that decision was dangerous and could prove fatal.

And I guess if you missed Donde blowing this up in the face of the NCAA from her side there’s a really good piece about this bs here: www.knoxnews.com/story/sports/…/72283786007/

As a non revenue athlete and a cfb fan, the non revenue question is incredibly tricky. How do we implement a fair standard that prevents swimming, tennis, golf, archery etc. not be sacrificed to the cfb gods? Title ix is a great example of how NOT to guarantee that fair means a future for every team and there’s no real good example as far as I’m aware. As much as I love cfb, it’s continued expansion cannot be allowed to jeopardize the future of other collegiate sports. I think there is continued value in sports to academic institutions. Both for the institution as advertising and for athletes as sports repeatedly prove to be beneficial for cognitive development (outside of tbis of course). Plus I think it’s a great way to train sports medicine majors, a field that will hopefully continue to have some level of demand until we upload our collective conscious into the cloud. cfb and cbb aren’t going anywhere anytime soon in the meantime and we should continue to leverage that for our other collegiate programing, especially non revenue sports. But I also don’t have a solution

I’m not sure what the NCAA was thinking in general in this case. From what I’ve been able to dig up, we were following rules at the time and then rules changed (The main point seems to be whether or not we flew Nico to Knoxville via private jet). We apparently offered the NCAA come talk in December to make sure we were law abiding citizens and the NCAA declined. My honest guess is the NCAA thought that since we played along last time they came knocking that we’d do the same and they’d be able to set a precedent for them flexing their muscle. But they forgot that they actually have to have a reason to try and impose punishment. Like I said, I think this may be what ultimately begins the downfall of the NCAA as a governmental institution at least as how we recognize it today.

Using white vinegar and rubbing alcohol is a common homeopathic remedy for swimmer’s ear

g0d0fm15ch13f, 4 months ago

Yeah you’re right, I guess I thought homeopathic just meant non medicinal. But it’s absolutely effective at both sterilizing and drying the ear.

This is exactly why I will always maintain that regional rivalries (or whatever ND does) is the best part of this sport and should be a serious indicator of program quality. In this case it doesn’t matter if the SEC and the 2PAC are on different levels, because what’s important is beating the foes that are on your playing level. Sure, having conference champs getting autobids in the playoff is a logical extension of that notion. But I believe the bigger the field gets, the more potential there is for lopsided games.

I would love a promotion/relegation format if it maintained regionality and allowed for cross division rivalry games to continue (though I have no clue how that would fuck up the relegation system).

This community seems to have a lot of faith in a team THEY ranked lower (outside of cfp!) in the final poll.

I certainly wouldn’t mind the orange ut winning, but I’m a content neutral here with Tennessee winning and bama losing today.
