I'm sorry, lame excuse, "The committee realizes there are hurdles to implementing the quarter format to the game, including the structuring of media timeouts to accommodate commercial inventory." Makes zero sense, since the college women use quarters and the WNBA and NBA use quarters. Quarters are way better IMO, simply because of fouls. 20-minute halves can cause bog down the game because the amount of FTs.

Halves vs. Quarters? If anyone cares, I don't care one way or he other. It does seem though that the game flow would be really choppy introjecting another break for the Quarter at the 10 minute mark with breaks already coming at the 8:00 and 12:00 points in a half.

I'm so tempted to hit Rutgers but my snacks would be whole lot more expensive. I'd probably have to re-budget for two nights in a motel and, worst of all, I'd have to either drive through NYC twice or wedge into an airline seat a couple of times. God invented the big screen TV for a reason and I don't want to seem ungrateful.

nor does continuing with halve defy logic, only economics. I'm fine either way and will continue watching. Hardly matters in regard to the score. My temperature has not risen since the subject came up. I checked.

Check the mirror. Can't imagine many would come up with a Yes. It's been more than 20 years since I placed a bet, though I might if the local casino started up a sports book. Betting is a whole differet thing than rooting.. Either can be taken too far or just remain a pastime. Subject seems almost like clickbait. I guess I nibbled a little.

When title IX was decided, it was all about scholarships. Nobody got paid anything except tuition, room and board and books. It made sense that there should be equal numbers of them in institutions where the populations were kind of Co-ed in somewhat equal proportions. In response, I'm a little surprised schools didn't go back to the old Ivy League pattern or even their new one. Programs were dropped and I can't recall lawsuits fighting back against that. The only things necessary were balance and the conference requirement for a minimum number of sports. Where those requirements will end up now will be an interesting (or not) story and it could be a bedtime story for the NCAA. Things have changed just a little bit since then so it's probably not out of line to revisit the whole issue, and I'm sure it will be ad nauseum. Fairness the previous driving force is going to found in a morgue, far from the bus that hit it. Once again programs may die but this time the result will be a lot of billable hours. Fans are not going to have any input nor are we going to enjoy the result. Can it become "I'm going to take my ball and play somewhere else!"? The tumult and the directions it could go are worthy of a series of Vegas lines.

Gambling can be very destructive. The only gambling I ever participated in was back when Oregon had Sports Action. You picked up the form at a 7/11. It had games and spreads, it was fun. Powerball, the odds of winning the jackpot, around 1 in 300M. A while back, I bought a ticket, behind me, a guy bought 10 of them. He didn't win. Sure, bet on a football game with real money, try 21 in Vegas, maybe you're better with dice. They'd love to see ya.

It’s not really true gambling, if you can afford it….lol Therefore, I really only bet on sports if I happen to be at an actual casino with a sports book. I was a financial advisor, and have seen the damage that it can have on people that don’t understand how math works.

Illinois went 5-1 in one-score games in 2024, so caution is advised. However, Illinois returns 18 starters who won 10 games last season, including the 2nd-ranked B1G QB, Luke Altmyer, and, according to USA Today, plays the easiest B1G schedule. The Fighting Illini +630 to make the PO is one of the best available future bets. With a game at Duke, Illinois may not go 3-0 OOC, but it will be no worse than 2-1. The two toughest conference road games will be at Indiana and UW. Illinois hosts USC and Ohio State. It's sweet to draw Purdue, Rutgers, Maryland, and Northwestern. +630 for Indiana, 12th most difficult schedule per USA Today, is also worth a look if you believe QB Mendoza out of Cal will be as effective as Kurtis Rourke, coming over from MAC-member Ohio, was in 2024.
