The majority of the income is going to the teams that make up the league, who then pay taxes on it. Rodger Goodell pays taxes on his hefty salary. The NFL donates some income to charitable orgs and has legitimate expenses that have to deal with the development/safety of the game. What's the problem again?

deadpsin is even talking about us http://deadspin.com/cardale-jones-did-a-good-prank-today-1701560508

The sad part is many of our real commits/players do to.

Lol. Loosen up.

Taking a lot of heat, as it should.

Its really not that complicated if you have a basic understanding of the system (the problem is most people don't). The taxes are still getting paid somewhere along the line.

Seems like its strictly a PR move. Doubt they will have to pay a dime in tax with distributions to teams. A plus is that Goodell won't have to disclose his salary anymore.

Thanks. And speaking of the NFL, they just announced recently they are giving up their non-profit status.

I mentioned it before but nobody really had anything to say, I wouldn't be shocked to see an abatement by the city/county if this thing ever were to a point where it seemed likely.

Looks like we picked up a commit from Ridgewater JuCo TE Johnnie Pope. Based on his twitter, looks like most of his other offers were from FCS programs. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1605579/highlights/168149375/v2 2⃣4⃣ hour GRIND @Quick6_Pope · 4h 4 hours ago zipNation happy to be a Akron zip

Looks slick.

Thanks for joining. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

If that's who we end up playing, and as a complainer of the schedule for years, I have to say great job Coach Dambrot. The opportunity to play both seems almost too good to be true, but time will tell I guess.

Ha. Just saw this. Surprised I made the cut.

My argument is that there isn't much value in being named "winner" of the tournament. The value is in playing and having a chance to beat big name opponents. I'm confident that nobody on this board knows the winner of this last season without looking it up, because all it is is another early season tourney. Come tourney selection time, nobody is going to care that Villanova won the Preseason NIT, but they would care if we had a win over Nova. I'm pretty sure we have never beaten a top 25 team, so us winning anything would be a complete long shot. Even if we don't win any it would be great experience to prepare us for the tourney if we make it.

About a tournament that means nothing?

Heard on 94.9 this morning that the Summit County Storm (a non-profit football league?) plans to use the bowl. They must not have seen the recent pictures. http://summitcountystorm.org/

Nice pics.

If the situation is still an ongoing issue then this just looks bad.

Great news, love the names mentioned so far

Its not just in college. Everyone knows Jim Brown is a piece of shit. A lot of people don't like him.

I do not see any way he would be eligible this season unless he graduated. If someone knows something I don't please enlighten me. I know what the OK St guy said, but articles are saying he will have to sit out. edit: after some searching it looks like he went to Garden City Juco after being kicked off of OSU. So you'd assume he would be eligible, but the article I read was dated in December. Not a whole year...

Disgusting for sure and embarrassing. However, he wouldn't be the 1st player Bowden has brought in with similar issues (see Chapman). He has been punished and all we can really do is hope he learned his lesson. I have to defer to TB's judgement due to the fact that all of his 2nd chance guys have stayed out of trouble.

Spring game roster has been released http://www.gozips.com/sports/fball/2015-16/files/2015_Spring_Game_Rosters.pdf I don't see the DL from Buchtel. His name always slips my mind. I also don't see Lane??? Tyler Fitzpatrick is interesting to me. But really only because I happened to play against him in high school. He is a transfer from Edinboro. Great size, but I wouldn't expect much out of him. Walk on I'd guess.

Not on the spring roster just released.
