re: SEC Baseball Teams CHEATING??

[quote]And when he said busted, was it ..."this year" and does busted mean, "Fined, Loss of Schollys, Loss of postseason play or what"... I mean, he probably should have kept his trap shut until it was handled... Unless it was handled internally, and then if so... He probably should have kept his tr...

Florida played Arkansas tough on the road, which ought to give Gator fans hope that they do even better against UT at Gainesville. However, the Hogs and the Vols are very different teams, so maybe Gator fans should say a prayer for their pitchers (or donate some Spider Tack to the cause)....

Cain will probably be a head coach somewhere next year. He has done an excellent job in recruiting for A&M. Totally nailed the transfer portal, which will make him very attractive to a team looking to retool quickly....

This is what Trev Alberts was talking about in his introductory press conference. He said we were going to have to find a way to come up with $20 million per year to pay players. Seems that he wasn't exaggerating. ...

Sometimes a high conference finish will get the committee to overlook a suspect RPI, but the overall tough year for the Big XII might not result in say a 2nd place finish being given the same kind of consideration it might get most years. I wouldn't bet against Texas making the field, but I have to ...

LSU is 42 in the updated RPI. Teams that go 13-17 need to have a really high RPI to get an at large bid. They might be able to play their way in if they get to 14-16 and win some games at Hoover....

Bama swung the bats really well against us last weekend. I did not like that regional projection that had Bama as the 2 seed in the regional we are paired with. They seem to be heating up. Not good news for Ole Miss. ...
At his introductory press conference, Alberts talked about how they are expecting college football to evolve to a point where players get a share in the revenue at some point in the not too distant future. If that happens, he figures you are looking at spending an extra $20 million give or take on p...

Schloss suggested that a doubleheader on Saturday is possible for UGA at A&M (SEC doesn't like for them to decide this too far in advance; otherwise, it sounds like he was ready to pull the trigger, now)....

[quote]Why Did We Let Texas In?[/quote]Because Sankey was afraid they would go to the Big Ten, so he convinced his members that adding them would mean money, when, in fact, it won't earn the rest of the schools an extra nickel, at least until the current media rights contract expires in 2034. ...

[quote]I don't really understand the people who think a salary cap is coming or would fix anything. College football is different than the NFL in that we have boosters who are willing to spend stupid amounts of money to see the school they graduated from (or support without graduating from) succe...
[quote]Why is that funny? It's Big 10 sources dropping these stories about how Big 10 is trying to get A&M to go to the Big 10. That's simply a fact. Are some posters on this board denying it?[/quote]It' not Big 10 sources, its just Greg Swaim, an Oklahoma State camp follower. He doesn't know dick, ...
[quote]The only route to reintroduce rules are the few SEC/B1G programs who can afford to breaking away, classifying players as employees & collectively bargaining with unions. I don’t like it, but haven’t seen any other model that will stand up in court. It’s that, or go be a fan of a smaller schoo...
[quote]Would you frickers stop citing goddam Greg Swaim as a source? That guy doesn't know his arse from a hole in the ground.[/quote]This times one thousand.

You have crappy A&M fans on this board because the discussion on this board is 99% smack talk. Coming to the rant and expecting anything but shite is like going to the sewer plant next to UT’s park and expecting to find a perfume factory. ...

Vandy has had problems on the road (except at Baton Rouge). With the game in Nashville, I'd lean toward Vandy. Florida is a mess right now. Too much talent to be where they are in the standings, but it's really two bad weekends in a row that have them there. Maybe they snap out of it....
