Personally, I like 3 games in three days & agree they shouldn't fix what's not broken. But wouldn't proponents of the move argue it gives more weight to the regular season (which really is a problem basketball - at all levels - struggles with) by rewarding the top two seeds?
That was pretty shocking. I guess the schools in the NBC (Northeastern Buckeye Conference) weren't allowed to simply vote Louisville out, so every other member school simultaneously exited the conference and then formed a brand new conference sans Louisville; The Eastern Buckeye Conference. 😂ðŸ˜
Isn't it amazing how much weight football carries?
I used to work near Alliance. There's a school district called Marlington out there who was good in every sport - boys & girls soccer, volleyball, boys & girls basketball, wrestling, baseball, softball... but they're almost always bad in football... and the incredible gravity of football makes all the kids from Marlington think they go to a loser school.
Football is certainly king.
@72 Roo, you posted this 👇 in another thread. I did not know this was the case. Can you elaborate a bit?
You are not in the extreme minority. This team is slowly rebuilding with the biggest jump at QB. 6-6 is definitely within their grasp and 7-5 is possible, but not probable.
Regards the football budget, I am not worried. Goodrich and Pottorff know it is low and they are working to add to it while suffering the cuts the university has mandated to right its financial situation. Both will be resolved over time. As mentioned in another post today we are a program that competes well in most every sport. Baseball would have been a top competitor had they not lost their top three pitchers this season, all of whom will be back.
