Speaking of cuts, I just heard Norte Dame College in Cleveland folded. I honestly do know how a lot of these private schools stay open.

I can barely stay awake looking at this list of desperate losers.

1-11 is also the range of ACT scores for the average Kent student. 110 is their average SAT score.

What would this do? It's one of those dumb things soccer fans see in Europe and think it's a great idea. I'm not even sure why it's a great idea in European soccer. It looks to me like there would always be a certain number of teams jockeying around to be the worst team in P5. In reality, it would do exactly the opposite of what we need. We need to completely divorce ourselves from P5. This nonsensical relegation would just be another excuse for athletic directors to destroy the schools they work for in the disguise they could be a contender some day. We don't need relegation, we need an alimony system. We need to combine with G5 schools and demand more money from P5 schools so we would only need to play one a year. With all of the TV money they get they will be able to pay significantly more. That's our alimony. We put up with enough of their crap for years in a horrible, abusive marriage. In the long run we'll be happier without them. Relegation my foot.

Grotesque indeed. It's getting hard to look at and I don't think I'm alone in that sentiment. It's also getting worse.

I've advocates for this for years and many have talked about it publicly. "Zero traction" is the same thing I notice. I'm guessing it puts the careers of too many ADs in jeopardy. This is why the university presidents of G5 schools need to discuss the idea as a commission with no athletic directors included. In addition, one league would require one commissioner, not 5. I doubt there are five commissioners out there willing to risk being one of the 4 that are out.

I'd be willing to donate $100 to finding the missing stall door from the lone crapper on the press box side of the Rubber Bowl.

I don't dislike him at all. Just noting he isn't an NBA player. I watched the Cavs yesterday. It was a savagely aggressive game between a bunch of freakishly good players. B James doesn't fit that description.

If his name was Joe Smith, he would be transferring to San Jose State or something similar.

Bobbleheads are moronic, if Akron had a throwback bobblehead with the Townhouse on one side and the Plazma Alliance rendition on the opposite side, it might be interesting to me.

Another year? At best, he is a below average player at a below average program in an OK conference. There are hundreds of players who could produce what he did at USC. There were guys on Akron's roster who could have produced what he did at USC. The NBA is the elite of the elite. He Enrique Freeman has a better shot at the NBA and I'm not sure about how great his shot is.

Instead of finding ways to stop the clock, they should be implementing ways to increase the number of plays or actual action. With helmet radios, they can now shorten the play clock. Instead of the team ahead standing around bleeding the clock at the end of the game (zero excitement), they should be forced to run plays and get more first downs. I'm too lazy to look it up, but in the last 3 minutes of a half the CFL has clock changes that force the leading team to run more plays. It's better than watching the QB kneel down.

It makes me want to barf every time I have to hear Jim Nantz blabber on about what "gentlemen" the guys are. It's so common for a player to yell at a caddy. How come they never show that?

Close. They hear the complaints and don't care about what the average fan wants. They want to sell their souls to television networks so they can afford facilities with solid gold toilets. The TV networks will destroy football and find something else for degerate gamblers to gamble on while eating and drinking everything that is shown to them during commercials. The longer the time of the game with more commercials allows degerate gamblers the time to place more bets in line. Am I wrong? I'm open to being wrong and open to another opinion.

Two things. First, I don't enjoy going to games as much either. They are too long and too much dead time. Second, and worst of all, the people who run college athletics don't care if I go or not or not as long as more commercials are sold catering to degenerate gamblers and drunks. My question is this. Do the people at universities know they are killing the sport? There was a time in the past 80 years when professional boxing was the number one sport in the USA. Then it became a gross representation of a sport and is an afterthought. Is that where college athletics are going?

I hate the two minute warning because nothing happens. Instead of this money grab, theu should institute a 20 to 25 second play clock in the final four minutes to force actual, you know, football. Fewer commercials, more plays. I like helmet communication. It's 2024 for crying out loud.

They are swimming against the tide.

This news is as exciting as a warm glass of skim milk.

Thoroughbreds eat a lot of oats. It probably wouldn't be the best move for him.

Is there a Brink's truck en route from Kentucky to Connecticut yet?

Bring your animals in during the eclipse tomorrow. Humans I mean. We at the only animal stupid enough to stare up at the sun.

If, indeed.

A year and a half ago, KY was on the schedule and it got worse. Long time between now and the 2025 season.

They set themselves up to lose and place JoeMo in a position where he can never win. Successful college football programs use the schedule to establish and maintain winning. Akron doesn't. It is used to make money, not win.
