BIG difference in tv viewing as you get older.I like your recruiting stuff...but your TV taste is terrible!
I feel pretty vindicated in that I didn’t want him here. His style of play is not team ball oriented. Him and Remy Martin together were a disaster.Not a target, but a familiar name....Alonzo Verge Jr in the portal as a grad transfer from ASU.
So you don't care what happens to these athletes that don't achieve their goal and have nothing to fall back on?So you're boycotting all NCAA sports?

The TBT tourney was very entertaining.What WILL the market bear? Is there really enough interest in a league without any professional or college affiliations? It’s just not going to be good basketball (in my opinion) watching an NBA-style game with worse players. One of the things I like about college is the variations in styles and systems and talent levels — it’s intriguing and surprising. The NBA game, by comparison, seems relatively boring for most of each game.
Maybe it will be like triple-a ball, but doesn’t seem like the triple-a model will support the players making a half mill a year.
This is such a weak argument. There are literally thousands of college students who drop out each year and end up fine with regards to their employment.So you don't care what happens to these athletes that don't achieve their goal and have nothing to fall back on?
Second, you are missing the point. The point is that these athletes in revenue sports are already exploited heavily in the existing NCAA system. NCAA sports is a multibillion dollar industry, and these kids get in trouble over a free sandwich. Anyone who is concerned with exploitation without being concerned about the current system either isn't paying attention or doesn't actually care about exploitation.
I’m in Frisco right off 380 as wellCool, I'm in the Little Elm/Frisco area off of 380.

Totally agree, but those guys weren't trying to emulate the NBA game, per se. And they were playing in an all-or-nothing format. And the Elam Ending is awesome. And it was a single tournament -- not a season-long league. There's a whole lot of differences between the TBT and this new league.The TBT tourney was very entertaining.
Kid interviews like a college seniorJames Brown #1 in state for 2024 talks recruiting:
So awkward to ask a freshman in high school what offers and visits they’ve made. Like dude, the kid can’t even drive by himself yet. RelaxJames Brown #1 in state for 2024 talks recruiting:

Minor league baseball is a terrible comp, because the revenues it generates are a pittance compared to D1 football and hoops,I hope there aren't too many who believe that paying a young kids tens of thousands of dollars to play a sport he loves is "taking advantage" of them. Minor league baseball salaries are generally pretty pathetic but can be sustained because kids don't have a high standard of living that they need to meet and they love baseball. Just like young people who take a year off to tour Europe. There's a time to take a flyer on ventures like that and it's when you're young.
Colleges and their fans are going to miss out some pretty special players. So that's too bad for the game. It's already happened over history, but it's going to be even worse now. But I'm happy for the players.
What really sucks is recruiting. If you've ever talked to a college baseball coach, you know how challenging it is to try to figure out what players you can go after that will hold their commitment after a bonus comes their way.
It's not if you're talking about the athletes which is what I'm talking about.Minor league baseball is a terrible comp, because the revenues it generates are a pittance compared to D1 football and hoops,
