Wow. That looked like a team well primed for a championship run.

My thought about the chaos is this. It seems to me that P4 conferences are benefiting from the chaos. They are making money hand over fist and opportunities for success in P4 have increased. Indiana vs Miami seems to pretty good evidence. The transfer portal and player payments don't seem to keep people away from attending or watching games. I don't know why the P4 schools would want to reign any of this in given money is their driving motivation. It seems to me that pushing the greed to see what the breaking point may be is the most logical course of action.

Maybe. Syracuse is an awful place most of the year. Summit county is more desirable. Syracuse needs a coach who could reach into the deep recruiting pool that is NYC and get that program going.

At what point do anti trust laws apply to P4 conferences? My guess is it's more likely to give them an anti trust exemption, see MLB, than not. What role would a collective bargaining agreement have in an anti trust agreement? I don't know these answers, but it seems as if we are approaching this point fast than I ever expected.

I don't think they are waiting per say. There is a leadership void preventing them from moving forward.

5 years is enough for someone to be AD at a mid major. Things change at mid majors faster than P4 so the skill sets of those working there have to change as well.

Yes

Kent is terrible. I can't stop laughing.

Probably not. It is an example of how stupid people running college athletics are.

The Supreme Court basically told them they needed collective bargaining. They haven't done it. They had better do it before Congress or the SCOTUS does it for them.

There are guys younger than him signing professional contracts in baseball and hockey. They almost all have lawyers/agents. Who is reading these contracts for these players? If this is true, I hope Cincy gets every cent.

I'm an awesome human who lives at the center of Sanity Island.

I think it's funny when people write things assuming those who will be reading it are as stupid as they are.

It's barely above humiliation level. I could barely keep from laughing listening to the video.

Good game by the Zips. Probably didn't start out exactly how they wanted, but road games are unpredictable.
