Exactly. It's akin to taking advantage of the tax code in your favor while following the rules.

Busy upcoming schedule with DC implications:: Tuesday: Women's golf: match play starts Wednesday: Match play completes, Track: NCAA West prelims start (men) Thursday: SB: WCWS starts, Track: NCAA west prelims continue (women) Friday: BB: regional starts, Rowing: NCAA 1st rd, Men's Golf: NCAA starts, Men's track completes prelims Saturday: BB, Rowing, MG continue, Women's track completes prelims Sunday: BB, MG continues, Rowing finals I'll be keeping a close eye on track as the prelims dictate how many athletes advance to the NCAAs where we need to get some DC points. Rowing shouldn't be interesting until Sunday.

College stats are pretty crazy these days. An example. Cody Howard. 11.2 innings. He’s only given up 11 hits, 3 walks. Yet 14 runs scored. Not sure I’ve ever noticed a guy give up the same number of hits/walks combined as run over that many innings. i don’t think he’ll pitch, but he could be useful. His first two runs were given up on a Crossland homer. It only got to that point because of a high hopper over his head that went 70 feet. He did give up 2 at Tennessee, but we didn’t have anyone exactly doing well. Then Mizzou he started wth 3 scoreless before giving up 4. Then Arkansas was terrible, but that’s a tough ask against a talented roster that was playing well. With the homers these days stat lines can be chaotic for really all but the best pitchers. Harrison had the A&M game that blew up his ERA.

I was about 10 rows up and that happened right in front of me. That was the most devastating hit I have ever seen in person, by far.

1. 2005 Jamal Charles vs Oklahoma State in Stillwater for a 19-point come back 2. 2007 Jamal Charles vs Oklahoma State in Stillwater for a 21-point comeback. 3. 2025 Ryan Niblett game changing punt returns vs Oklahoma, Kentucky, Mississippi State

The NCAA was established by Teddy Roosevelt with federal overreach typical of TR. It's not going to make it.

4 bullpens arms with ERA’s under 4.00 is about as good as you will find in the college game. UC Santa Barbara has one of the best ERA’s in the country and has the same number of bullpen arms with ERA’s under 4.00 that we do.

I expect Will Davis to be announced as UH's new HC today. Kendall Rogers has reported this now.

The NCAA exists only to preserve the interest of its members, the educational institutions. It has no regard for the student athlete other than to make them subservient to the interests of its member institutions. It is a failed entity for the student athletes. Now many are not even technically students anymore.

We are the Federal Government. We are here to help you.

I mean throwing longer or more dominant than he has been because let’s be honest the bullpen has not exactly been a strength this season…

The NCAA isn't going to receive immunity from lawsuits. Even if Congress passed something along those lines, the Supreme Court would strike it down because the SC has already said they won't entertain giving the NCAA an anti-trust exemption. Now, having said that, there's nothing in the Constitution that says you can't have a monopoly or trust in late nineteenth century parlance. What needs to happen for some kind of congressional help to occur is some kind of governing entity needs to incorporate market principles into their "rules." Given the NCAA's tainted record, I can't see this legally happening. You need a break away from the NCAA and fresh start.

Leffew is a main part of the bullpen, so I would hope he is doing more than just helping out. We need him to be the best version of what he’s shown in spurts.

Good morning and welcome to Match Play. First up this morning at 9:40 AM is Texas Vs Eastern Michigan. The gist of match play is that there is 5 1v1 golf matches going on. You have 3 of your golfers finish a round better than their opponent and you move on. if Texas takes care of business they will certainly see Stanford Later today.

Who is everyone’s candidate for the player or players who step up for us to make a deep run outside of our main starters and bullpen contributors? I think guys like Duplantier or Leffew could step in and help out in a meaningful way if called on. Just a fun thought experiment!

None of it will matter until they give the ncaa some kind of protection against lawsuits. They need to absorb the ncaa or make a governing body that will manage the ncaa. From there, dictate that membership will consists of presidents and ads from 13 different schools and change every 2-3 years.

Winner, On every playlist

A great one!

The CSC is not truly independent of the NCAA. They were established by the NCAA to serve an NCAA function. The CSC won't exist much longer because it's a stupid concept. You can't legally tell someone how much a marketing deal is worth. We said as much when this nonsense started last year. If you want to get a "handle" on collegiate athlete compensation, you must negotiate a deal with them. Contrary to uninformed sportscaster opinions, this does not necessitate collective bargaining. There are literally millions of examples of controlled pay structures that don't have collective bargaining.

The CSC is independent of the NCAA. Would that committee still have to rule on NIL money, etc. no matter what new body is set up that separates from the NCAA if that body includes a conference(s) that had agreed to opt-in?

If the Gauchos hold Flora back, I'll be rooting hard for Tarleton Friday night.

It’s the federal government, which is a complete waste of time.
