When they brought NBCSN back (albeit just for those with YouTube TV and Xfinity at this point), they drew on existing programming produced and/or announced for Peacock. The Peacock NFL games will still be exclusive to there though the Gold Zone during the Olympics will be simulcast on NBCSN.
Crazy by Shrewsbury. But super bad call.
Just so weird thinking notre dame vs cal is a conference matchup
NC State loses by 15 at home to Virginia
Darrion Williams play has fallen off a cliff. Brutal for NC State given he's one of the highest paid In the game. NC State has no shot of doing anything if he's not a star. Can't remember the Field of 68 guy that called him the best college basketball player LAST season
I think Will Wade is gonna get asked about him again after today.......
Wade did himself nor Darrion Williams any favors in the future with that outburst. Just put a larger spotlight on it.

Shrewsberey only gets a āpublic reprimandā from the ACC.
In related news, Jim Phillips is looking for his backbone this afternoon.

one of my favorite Dakich moments (...i just threw up a bit typing that
)Is that really all that thatās happened? At the very least he should be suspended for a number of games and ifNotre Dame doesnāt do it then the conference should.
We didn't lose him. We signed him and then he quit.
Illinois thoroughly winning the Jasper Johnson Keaton Wagler trade off.
Watching Ky Ala. game. They showed 5 of espn freshmen. No mention of Wagler. I would take him in that class of 5. I guess it is ESPN shouldn't expect anything less.

ACC publicly reprimands Notre Dame coach Micah Shrewsberry
The ACC has issued a public reprimand of Micah Shrewsberry following an incident between the Notre Dame coach and an official at the end of the Fighting Irish's loss at California.
Iāll be clear-it was a bad call. But you cannot just reprimand a coach for what Shrewsberry did. Had he not been restrained, thereās no doubt in my mind he makes some sort of physical contact. Should have been at least a two-game suspension.
I know Brad frustrates some people but man we do have it really good. Some of these teams that rely on portal like Kentucky can bottom out.
His overall hit rate in the portal is pretty impressive.
Itās definitely one of those things where itās understandable you see more of the failures when itās your team, but lose sight of what else is taking place nationally.
Although my argument would be his x and oās consistently turn guys into really good players too. (Ducks)

And so we did lose him....
Guy's unhinged. What's crazy is how there's people here who outwardly wish our coach would have this type of behavior. They're 10-5, have looked terrible.NC State loses by 15 at home to Virginia

Hereās the thing thoughā¦. As long as the money comes from āsponsorsā and not the schools themselves, there is no contract with a school. If Twin City Radiator, for example, offers Rez $1 million, itās to use his name, image and likeness. Of course, itās presumed that heād be an Illinois player, but because NIL is not pay-for-play (wink wink), thereās nothing legally binding that links the deal to where an athlete plays ball.

Related to both our hopes for a top 3 seed and our Big Ten championship aspirations, I am rooting hard for the Badgers to get it together and knock off Purdue tonight. It would also be nice if Missouri remembered how to play basketball and knocked off #22 Florida ... it just feels wrong for a Braggin' Rights win to slip to a Quad 3, lol.
There are efforts in the works to change some of this. Now that schools can directly pay athletes through the $20.5 million revenue-sharing cap, those deals are very much legally binding contracts with the school. Even for third-party sponsors like your Twin City Radiator, any deal over $600 has to be approved by the CSC clearinghouse. So, and this is merely an assumption of how this works, if they canāt prove Rez actually did $1M worth of marketing work, the CSC can flag it as 'pay-for-play' and pull his eligibility. I have also read that some sponsors are getting smarter as many contracts now include 'exit clauses' that force players to pay back some or all of the money if they transfer before the season ends.

Not sure if Iām answering your question but Xfinity has included Peacock for me for āfreeā (after my exorbitant monthly cable bill) the last few years.
I couldn't disagree more.ACC publicly reprimands Notre Dame coach Micah Shrewsberry

These referees need to start taking accountability and facing consequences when they make mistakes like these. The coaches are just expected to sit there and take it over and over and over again without the ability to do or say anything about it?
Itās hard to āact like youāve been there beforeā when it feels like you have never been there. They havenāt been ranked this high in 35 years, so for the fans, itās tough to think of them as anything but an underdog. (Especially the students)
In the teamās defense, Mast asked the fans to stop doing it in his interview after the game. They expected to win.
Darrion Williams some of the worst ROI in college ball right now too.
So you think you should attack them after a bad call?
Refs get graded for every game. They are absolutely going to hear about that call. They may lose games they would have otherwise had, because of bad calls. But to in any way, even infinitesimally small, excuse attacking a ref is crazy.
