    WFU Hoops: '24-'25 Roster Construction Thread: (-) Carr, Monsanto, Ituka, Clark, Miller, Marsh, Keller, Canka / (+) Spillers, Biliew, Cosby

    Nobody is making me follow the rules when I'm behind a tree on the golf course, but I do anyway. I hope you're kidding about not paying but not sure...

    Law of averages? We have to have things go our way eventually, right? Right? RIGHT!?

    Conference Expansion: Stanford, California and SMU Join the ACC

    I know it was a crazy hypothetical... Football is unique in creating all the revenue so there really isn't a good counter-example. This is insulting and I really don't appreciate it. I know you are undepheated but you are not unassailable, no matter what you think. I realize all the same...

    Conference Expansion: Stanford, California and SMU Join the ACC

    Since we are resorting to insults now I think you are a fucking idiot who looks for race-based monsters under every bed. There may be schools in the northern US where most of the athletics revenue is brought in by ice hockey - a sport dominated by white guys. Are you saying those schools would...

    Conference Expansion: Stanford, California and SMU Join the ACC

    Don't change my argument. I didn't say race wasn't "a factor in late 20th century higher education". What I did say was that the tremendous increase in the cost of higher education was not caused or contributed to by the fact that more people of color were attending college - and I believe that.

    Conference Expansion: Stanford, California and SMU Join the ACC

    So you say "First, there are plenty of examples of spending less on students as the students become more diverse. College education was free or heavily subsidized until colleges and universities became heavily integrated. Then the cost of education skyrocketed because all of a sudden white...

    I don't know how we would prove that either way but I guess we just disagree....

    Conference Expansion: Stanford, California and SMU Join the ACC

    No - I think it is dumb because it is total bullshit. There are plenty of instances in society where the concepts you are talking about apply - but I really believe that race plays zero role in this one. Are you saying that if a sport made up of primarily white athletes was generating all the...

    Conference Expansion: Stanford, California and SMU Join the ACC

    So you believe that money from football goes to support the non-revenue sports at universities BECAUSE the football players are largely POC and many of the athletes in the non-revenue sports are not? Because I do not believe that and think it is literally dumb to make race part of the...

    Wake Golf 2024 - Women’s ACC Tournament April 18-21; Men's ACCT April 19-22

    FYI - Asking for more than 1 ACC title in 20 years is not asking to dominate like the old days.

    Just curious how you think endowments are relevant here? There is zero chance that any school is going to dip into their endowment to buy athletes.

    WFU Hoops: '24-'25 Roster Construction Thread: (-) Carr, Monsanto, Ituka, Clark, Miller, Marsh, Keller, Canka / (+) Spillers, Biliew, Cosby

    I know no one cares anymore, but, it would be interesting to compare 5 year graduation rates of Div. 1 basketball and football players before the relaxed transfer rules and NIL and after. Obviously excluding the kids that leave early and get drafted... I worry about the kids that are not at...
