If someone has won in court against an organization, and the organization subsequently threatens someone that can provide a remedy, a judge is not likely to tell that someone, "Sorry, can't do anything about that." That judge would want that decision enforced.

I agree, but what else is there to do?

Full schedule.

Not sure what's "better" in this context. I'm thinking historical importance. 

I saw the post with the city limit sign for Detroit, TX. I remember playing Detroit in a tournament in Sulphur Springs in December 1988. Their fans had a chant that went something like, "De-Troit, De-Troit. We're coming at you now and we're gonna rule the court, De-Troit, De-Troit." We won the game something like 77-61.

Harvey doing work reminding people that the "Ignore" function is available; very possible he ends up in a conversation with himself arguing about if Kobe is a better player than Kobe

How about everyone cool down and let the seniors play? The NCAA already poisoned the well by saying that fourth-year seniors weren't covered. And the judge said other rules weren't affected, so if you aren't already in the portal, too bad.

I do not see what the big deal is. Every other class can play, and nobody promised them 5-for-5 when *they* signed.

Much ado about nothing.

He was my first - about 20 minutes after I joined the site when he was cursing out a recruit for not signing with Texas.

I think the NC winner is wide open for sure

I do think three No. 1 seeds could be a done deal, assuming teams stay healthy. Florida, Duke and Illinois

Teams fighting for the last No. 1 and the four No. 2 seeds...

UConn
Texas
Tennessee
Arizona
Arkansas
Michigan State
Louisville
St. John's
USC

Not sure what else to call it when you are practicing with the Zags team in July, and leave with no warning or convo and sign a pro contract in Europe. He totally f&^%#d Few and Gonzaga.
