The sneaky part about Buffalo is Freitag. Nobody really expected the impact he has had.

We have no idea what Miami is this year - yet. They have played 1 team - 1 - in the top 300 NET so far. Charlie Coles is rolling in his grave with this OOC schedule for the sweaters. Buffalo's resume is impressive. That single digit loss to St. Bonnie yesterday is very respectable.

The MAC dropped on the higher end (except Akron), but gained on the lower end in NET. 41 Akron (2nd highest in Ohio now, 1 spot behind OSUcks) 89 BUGS 91 Miami OH 134 Buffalo 146 PCCC 159 Toledo 169 EMU 198 UMass 236 Ohio 254 WMU 312 CMU 319 NIU 340 Balls

Agreed on the red being a debatable decision, but Matt can't put himself and the team in that position as a captain. Everything the Zips did in the second half was dumb, his high boot being no exception. Also, never again to I want to see a stutter step PK. Very unfortunate loss that hurts even more considering we would've been the highest seed remaining with a legit shot at a second star. Gutwrenching to say the least. Saint Louis may just be a team of destiny. I hope they prove me right by winning it all for their 11th star and first in 50 years.

Was thinking the same thing, but also, Iowa State is a wagon and got royally screwed in the Players Tournament or whatever it was called.

Coaching matters. Cignetti is incredible.

And just like that, 2 G5s are in the Playoff. Nightmare scenario for the overlords.

Go Duke.

Huge game. Murray State was 87 NET coming into today's game. Another top 100 opportunity and potential Q2 matchup.

Toledo's heir apparent is heading to Cuse to be their DC. Wow.

What a weird day for the MAC. BUGS drops one at home to Utah Valley by 11. Ohio beats Marshall out of nowhere. Toledo loses to Oakland. Buffalo with a very competitive 8 pt loss at home to a very good St. Bonnie team. Buffalo is legit. WMU, UMass, and Miami OH all won against very weak competition.

It's big to Akron IMO. This is the type of game we typically drop inexplicably. Being on the road, this might end up being a Q2 win come season's end, too. Very solid performance. Akron shot above 40% again from 3; Akron has one of the best offenses in the country.

Had.

2k is my guess with a solid boost from the SLU faithful.

Absurd start to the season for Tavari.

Perry Kitchen-esque to send Furman to their first ever College Cup.

A Furman defender just headed a Portland shot off the goal line with 30 seconds to go, up 1-0. Oh. My. Goodness. Looks to be a large crowd in Portland.

One might call them the godfather of college soccer. Haven't won a title in 50 years, though. Let's make sure they stay at 10 as we pursuit our 2nd Star.

I agree it needs nipped in the butt. This type of litigation isn't how to do that. You could insert any school name, especially P4, and I'd take issue with a school suing a player for hundreds of thousands that they never actually lost themselves. Programs and coaches for years have been screwing over players. There are moral contracts that have been violated without repercussions for decades and continue to be. Lane Kiffin made a commitment to an entire roster that he would lead them this season. Just before their playoff birth, he has bolted for another university for his own personal gain. How do the players litigate that? They can't; they just have to accept it and hope they have the right coaching still around to lead them to success. Should they bow out early, who knows if Kiffin would've made rhe difference. Who knows what a deep playoff run or even national championship could do to transform their lives. How is that measured in "liquidated damages" for the players? Fact is, in can't be. College athletics are lawless. Resolve that before sending messages by taking exorbitant money out of players' pockets that the University isn't out themselves.

I'm not arguing the breach of contract. I'm arguing the gross greed by Georgia.

Wilson is either an idiot for signing it or was grossly misguided/misled by someone close to him. I'm not saying he shouldn't be punished. The issue is Georgia inheriting the contract then legally going after the player for the full amount of the contract rather than what was already paid and leaving it at that. Your comparison is laughably way off base. If the company would've come after you for X number of years' worth of salary, that would be more on par with what we're witnessing with this case. Regardless, a reasonable judge will probably step in to significantly reduce the amount as I don't know if Georgia can prove legitimate liquidated damages or whatever the legal jargon would be.

Or, hear me out, a gazillion dollar corrupt taxpayer funded institution in a lawless environment doesn't need to get more rich by stealing more from these athletes when they already steal from the student body. The NCAA should be enforcing a NFL-style approved agents list, but schools like Georgia are doing everything in their power to ensure the landscape remains tilted in their favor. Every legal battle has benefitted the schools vs NCAA or players vs NCAA, which ultimately benefits the elite schools. Discovery and the legal case should bring all the facts to the table, and I'm not saying the player isnt at fault as well. Just not sure we need to be endorsing this type of institution v player case where the institution is literally trying to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Him not playing at all for the Timberwolves while losing multiple development games in the G League is odd. I liked him better in Indiana.

I agree with the second part, but did you read the article? The contract was predatory and the player never should've been directed to sign it. "The deal states that if Wilson withdrew from the Georgia team or entered the transfer portal, he would owe the collective a lump-sum payment equal to the rest of the money he'd have received had he stayed for the length of the contract." I hope there's common sense applied in this ruling. Make the kid pay back what he was paid, but don't rob him. Screw Georgia for going after the full amount.
