    Jefferson NOT gone.

    Player A (an amateur) is on a 1 year contract for $3m and plays 32+/- games Player B (a professional) starts in the NBA for $500k, is on a 4-5 year contract, and plays 82+ games. None of this is NIL btw.

    Jefferson NOT gone.

    Ok, the point is that there are aprons to ensure teams dont spend more unless they want to pay crazy luxury taxes. At some point these schools need to get back to a neutral playing field that doesn't put the burden on the fans and schools at financial risk for ruin just to compete.

    Jefferson NOT gone.

    NFL, NBA, MLB all have salary caps. This is the same thing. You can only afford X$ per player to field a team. All teams play by the same rules and cap to ensure a level playing field. The cap changes over time, but there are still "limits" on what a player can make.

    Senior Appreciation Thread

    First of all. Shout out to the Seniors this year. Chatfield - brought alot more to the team than I would have expected to start the season. Gilbert - extremely dynamic player that should be a tryout/shot at the next level, but injuries plagued him and a special all-around season Jones -...

    Title IX New Ruling Changes NIL Payments for Athletes

    No, fans don't pay what they want if you are attending. Minimums go up and up. Don't you think patrick mahomes would get 100million+ a year if not for salary caps? That's the point. Without salary caps it's just which college and donors have thr biggest pocketbook. This has been the case in...

    Title IX New Ruling Changes NIL Payments for Athletes

    18 year olds with $1m+ dollars in their hands, what could go wrong? The point is that they are making more than players do in the NFL which is a professional sport. College is still "amateur". By increasing the NIL money through the university, you the fan are absorbing all the cost. At this...

    Title IX New Ruling Changes NIL Payments for Athletes

    https://sports.yahoo.com/title-ix-memo-throws-wrench-013625235.html First, I am in favor of creating a salary cap for college athletes and NIL. Right now many college athletes are earning much more than they will earn in their professional careers post-college due to the lack of rules around...

    Williams & Blum Pod: Cy-Hawk, Omaha & offensive coordinators

    Omaha was a Mcdonald's All-american and was one of the best players there. He also played really well on the usa U19 team. It's pretty hard to say evaluators we're wrong on him. I think he is just a project and the game hasn't slowed down enough to play over 4 upperclassmen in the frontcourt.

    Omaha Biliew

    Great win by the Clones last and I have loved to see the depth and shared scoring that we have shown. I'm concerned that Omaha isn't even cracking our top 8? Is he hurt? Paveletzke has shown great moxie and energy out there but I'd have to think Omaha would be a better option both short and...

    Where was JJ Kohl

    Did you watch the same game? Yes there were drops but there were also some God awful throws. You prep the future in a rebuild. Rocco's ceiling isn't near what JJ's is. He was the top recruit at QB our school has ever had since ratings and ranks began. If you couldn't see that our offense was...

    Where was JJ Kohl

    JJ looked bad in game 1 and Rocco looked ok. Who's to say the opposite couldn't be true for game 2? If JJ is the longterm goal at QB, I'd like to get him more opportunities, win or lose.

    Where was JJ Kohl

    Rocco looked out of sync, stared down his receivers (and yes lots of drops), but why wasn't JJ ever in the game to maybe drive a little life into the offense? It's going to be a long season by the looks of today. Strap in.

    *** Official Pittsburgh vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    Heard through the grapevine that the rims were bent and we weren't able to practice prior to the game when we got there. Anyone else hear this?

    Favorite Sandwich Shop?

    If you are ever down south (dallas, TX and savvanah, GA are the two places I've had it) Roly Poly is an amazing sandwich shop. You'll thank me later!

    Favorite Sandwich Shop?

    Curious what everyone's favorite sandwich shop is where you live? I'm in the Des Moines metro, so it's mostly franchises. My favorites around here are Wich Which, B&B Grocery (The Killer), and Jersey Mike's for a good Philly.

    That game was stolen from us.

    WvU games are always terrible to watch because he dares refs to call fouls the entire night by mugging your players and huggy rides the refs the entire time. Unwatchable in Morgantown always...esp tonight

    That game was stolen from us.

    I'm not one to blame referees in games when they go back and forth but the number of reversed calls, flagrant 1, and ticky tac fouls against us tonight made it abundantly clear that we weren't walking away with a win. Hard to win when it's 8 against 5 on the court. Rant over.
