2024-2025 MBB computer projections thread
St John's will be in Providence ~150 miles away. The nothinglike.net site had St Johns NY address confused with St Johns River College in Florida lol- benman82

2024-2025 MBB computer projections thread
It would help a lot if Wisconsin and Kentucky lose today, potentially relevant are Arizona and Maryland. Looks like we'll be in Milwaukee with Kentucky / Wisconsin as the other seeded team unless they both jump us, in which case we'd be in Denver with TTU as the other seeded team. IMO Denver...- benman82

Fallout from the Doncic trade
Best explanation I've seen is that the new owners are purposely trying to tank because the Texas legislature refuses to allow sports gambling, so now they are trying to lose all fan support so that they can threaten to move the team to Vegas as leverage. There's just no basketball reason to...- benman82

Court ruling that JUCO years don't count against eligibility
What a stupid ruling. If not being in the NCAA is limiting to a player's NIL value then by definition the player doesn't have NIL value and the NCAA branding is the only thing of value.- benman82

Pro Iowa Soccer - Krause Development
Krause lost 110 million euros the first 2 years of owning Parma FC, but they did get promoted back to Serie A so he might make it back if they stay up for several years... -

8 year-old assaulted on bus. Advice plz.
Sadly, it's probably best for your family to just do your best to move on. Don't try to negotiate anything with the school, let your lawyer do all the talking, and get second opinions on what can be done. If you do move forward with lawsuits then expect nothing to be resolved for several years... -

Friday OT: Surprise hobbies
Buying every flavor of potato chip I can find. I probably have 200 bags of chips in my current "collection", and ~70 different flavors. Sometimes I eat them, but you can't eat your chips and have them too so mostly they end up in a closet until my wife throws a bunch away. I've gone to pretty... -

Williams & Blum: The Florida State / Clemson conversation
The problem isn't Big 12 teams leaving for the SEC / B10. The problem is that the best 10-12 schools might split off into a totally new conference and leave the B12 in shambles again. If we had left Utah and ASU in the wilderness and stayed "strong" at 14 we'd be better off because there's not... -

Williams & Blum: The Florida State / Clemson conversation
At what point does an 18-24 team league break apart? Pulling in too many teams seems without an obnoxiously long grant of rights seems like a bad idea for ISU after about 2035 because you could break apart the big 12 pretty easily at that point. If it were up to me, the big 12 would have... -

Retirement Targets
It's a small pain in the ass to set up since you have to set up bank accounts and direct deposit yourself a regular wage like every regular w2 worker and then have to do extra work with filing your taxes. Setting it up costs money because you should hire a tax lawyer / CPA and will probably pay... -

Retirement Targets
A.) Yes I'd love to eliminate SS: Give me Australian superannuation (mandatory defined contribution plan) where I get out what I paid in because it's an individualized plan and not a giant ponzi scheme Why would I want to pay into a system that's obviously not sustainable? Even if the program... -

Retirement Targets
This wouldn't help at all. If you raise the cap then people will just transition over to working as "independent contractors" and "paying themselves w2 salaries" considerably under the SS limit (think $60,000-80,000 of ~$167,000 limit) and taking the rest as s-corp distributions. So lifting the...
