Football schools. For Football schools, nothing is really a problem, in today's NCAA. Just a formality really, for the haves vs the have nots.

Proving once again that it's the Cartel and everyone else.

This tournament was a blast back in 2016. I would recommended it to anyone considering it. In 2016 I ubered from my house in Noank to Mohegan with a group of buddies, so we could really let loose.

We didn't play an Exhibition Game last year, only the intrasquad scrimmage.
You can call it whatever you want. We played an intersquad D1 scrimmage and looked like poop.
Yep. And it's worse when you are playing against yourself.

Which is better than playing with yourself.

I’m of the belief that FBS football becomes 1A. All schools without big time football will become 1AA. This will filter down to basketball. Two different basketball national champions.

The NCAA Tournament tells a different Story in recent times . Many teams from the so called minor leagues have surpassed many of the so called Major leagues in their tournament performances .

Good questions, RR. It is a frustrating time in college sports. Not only are a small percentage of schools (SEC & Big 10 connected) outpacing most others from a relevancy and financial standpoint but the college sport of football itself seems to be widening the gap on all other sports on the P5...

All you have to do is look at professional sports. Pre-free agency fans knew the team, knew the players, and were invested in "their" team. Once free agency hit, it became a free for all. I can still name every starting player on the 1967 Red Sox. Today's Sox - I look at the roster and wo...

Politicians don't mind doling out money for new or massively-renovated facilities. They love ribbon-cuttings because they get to take credit for this shiny new whatever.

Money for maintenance is a whole 'nother story. There's no ribbon-cuttings for brooms, wrenches or buckets of paint.
