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.

Nothing good is coming out of Minnesota right now and their handling of Freeman thus far might be the worst news of it all.

Is thar even the MAC's call?
