I am surrounded by Beavs at work.....and they lit the cigar early. Today will be a glum hump day.

Federal funding, hell even state funding, has become a smaller piece of the Total Revenue for many Power 4 schools since 1965 or whenever Title IX was enacted. I wonder if some schools would opt to forgo federal funding to avoid the sports revenue sharing? Especially if research grants, as opposed to financial aid, are considered outside the definition of Title IX federal funding.

Based on his name alone, I would be optimistic.

This has been as plain to see as the nose on my face (I have a big nose!). I am shocked that the issue of non-revenue sports attrition hasn't emerged earlier as a Title IX issue if nothing else.

Like Phil, I too have lost interest in the Blazers and the NBA

Now to close it out....

Just tuned in at the top of the 7th.....Ducks take lead 7-6 with all 9 guys batting. Amazing at-bats by Chase Meggers and Ryan Cooney (2 RBI's) notably.

The perfect Mother's Day tribute.....a Doog Sweep!

Thanks for the thread Charles....I had lawnmower duty today, so it is nice to come in, crack a cold one and review all the highlights. Never gets old....smacking the Doogs.

This is what I am happy to see for B1G play....adding the two intra-league long, springy bangers to set screens, rebound, defend, dunk and block shots. If we aren't going to shoot 40% from 3PT, then we need rebounders and rangy defenders to cut off lanes on the break and extend pressure on defensive sets.

Thanks for the clarification.....why am I not surprised this will be a bonanza for the attorneys, consultants and lobbyists?

On TOS, someone mentioned the impact of "House" money on this recruiting cycle. I believe the reference is to a US House ruling related to recruiting? It was suggested that this "extra" funding is impacting the cycle, causing some schools to overpay/overvalue certain recruits. I am not informed enough to know if my speculation is at all true, but I mention it in case some here have better insights. Maybe the perceived downturn in recruiting is really just keeping powder dry for fewer, bigger fish since our depth chart is pretty sound now?

Nico and Prime seem destined for one another.

I've see Olajuwon on the sidelines at the Final Four....has anyone seen Clyde lurking about?
