All of this is where the "JUST PAY TAXES. HAVE SOME ACCOUNTABILITY" really starts to break down.

We have the biggest "JUST PAY TAXES. HAVE SOME ACCOUNTABILITY" people on the planet here who have...

Last minute of each half in college the clock stops after every made basket. It runs the rest of the game.

You get less time on the shot clock after an offensive rebound than the standard shot...

Nor are taxes, or anything related to it, being taught at something like 98% of schools - public or private. For some reason, and I have my theories but not the time or place, our country screams...

Taxes are pulled directly from that check with a W2/W4. NIL deals are completely separate. They aren't a W4. They aren't taxed up front, or at all.

It's a 1099 situation where you have to know to...

Point 1 is something so many were pointing out from before this actually went into play, and it's hilarious (and sad) that in spite of all the warnings and talk about it so many didn't actually do...

At it's most basic all that really needs to be required is a deal that says "Player X gets Y dollars for doing Z number of apperances at a public event/space/time". That's it.

That's why there is...

Honest questions - especially since we have the "least subsidized thread" running

1. Where is the interest for these programs going to come from? Sure some of those schools have large enrollments...

It's all a dumb accounting game and which box gets checked.

UNI has a continual fight between athletics and academia over the 4 million dollars a year UNI gets from the university "general fund"....

Yeah. Again, the HS I went to is lucky to have 100 kids total between grades 9-12 in any given year. There are 363 high schools in Iowa and mine HS is 311th in enrollment.

The gym is mirrored on...

The Northeast and west coast is littered with tiny HS gyms.

There are some in the Midwest, but in general the schools between the Appalachians and Rockies at least attempt to have actual D1...

The NCAAT shares come nowhere close to offsetting costs.

Each conference can set their own rules for how the money is shared - but most split it evenly among all teams but the team(s) that earn...

I watch a lot...and I mean a lot, I can't describe how much honestly...of college basketball and almost exclusively at the mid and low major level. The amount of D1 "arenas" that would be marginal,...

Valley is at 11 again with WIU going OVC.

The rest of the NCAA can rejoice for an extra bid.

No I'm not.

A NCAA sponsored event taking an automatic bid away from an NCAA sanctioned conference champion beacuse that champion isn't "good enough" is what you're advocating.

Fine. We then...

Then we need to remove the autobid from basketball.

Sorry, YSU. I know you're having a good year and have a 99% chance of taking the autobid from the Horizon this year but guess what? In the big...

WKU has been chasing the laser since they moved in 06 and they are going to end up where they should have been from the start.

IIRC both WKU and MTSU were essentially a done deal to the MAC but...

A bit of a blip this year.

Moving forward both are in the same position. Both leagues are extremely good at the top, the middle makes or breaks the league, and the bottom is...well...the bottom.

Both are going to be...

Highly doubt. We have good rivalries in the MVC that are strong because of the MVC. We have no history with anyone in the A10 outside of LUC from their few years in the Valley. They Valley is a...

WKU will be the 14th MAC school

It will be the conference that it should have been for the last decade but neither UMASS nor WKU was willing to admit it was their best home.

Also, this will...

What that promo tells me is that FBS move didn't generate the burst of interest and sales that you'd think would come with such a move

The A10 is at 15, outside of adding 1 more to get to 16 because "even number" they are so large I can't imagine they want to do too much expanding.

They are a 1, maybe 2, bid max, league if the...

FB 16 of 17 in FCS - ahead of only Pioneer
MBB 31 of 33 - ahead of...

Morehouse is private, are they not? There isn't much/any state funding.

They are going to have to double, minimum, their budgets but that still leaves both of them sub-12, which is still bottom...

I normally disagree when the Dakota fans (mostly, but also Montana and a few others at times) talk about the FCS becoming watered down and a shell....I'm getting close to joining them.

Morehouse's...
