Deferring salaries doesn't really affect anything for baseball. The main effects are that it gives a player a longer term income stream to prevent...
Totally agree with all of this. I do find it funny that the "Alabama can't drop due to a title game" thing doesn't apply to BYU. Prior to...
To be fair, they've explictly said this isn't their complaint. Their issue is that it flipped during the final week - that it made no sense that...
I wonder if ND is even allowed to partner with another conference on football only with their current agreements. I can't see them bailing on the...
ND specifically didn't want to be part of ACC Football when they were given the opportunity because they want all the money for themselves. ND...
With a 16 or 18 team conference, though, there's a decent chance you're not doing that. This made sense a few years ago when there were 2...
Agreed - I don't have any opinion between ND and Miami, but if the committee said ND was better than Miami a week ago, it doesn't make sense to...
Of course it does - it's a 13rd bonus game against a really good opponent that other teams don't have to face. Why would anyone penalize it more...
The end result is objective in terms of what it measures -as Buck says, if you want to rank people by WAR, WAR is a great tool. But it's creation...
My best guess is because ... they are Vanderbilt. Unfortunately, politics still plays a role in all this and Vandy doesn't have the brand value of...
WAR is a subjective measure though. It's an arbitrary formula created by people - and it's one that different organizations can't even agree on,...
Except that's not what it is. No one contradicted themselves, and no one ever said it's only about head to head or strength of schedule or...
If Duke wins, I don't think the ACC Champ is guaranteed in. It's the top 5 conference champs, so you potentially have Tulane AND James Madison.
The counterargument is Vandy, who would be in right now if they had a big OOC win. They had a pretty normal SEC schedule. Got Texas and Alabama on...
This is the problem with super-conferences where no one plays the same teams so you can't always use head-to-head or something legitimate. It's...
Every starting QB in the NFL plays up 2 possessions with 5 minutes left. One mistake by the backup QB and you could be suddenly up 7 with 5...
That's not really true. OU has always been the bigger rivalry in that it has more often had national implications for the teams. It involves much...
Except you didn't just complain in real time. You repeatedly complained for days and weeks after each game. Nice try though.
One thing I would say about OOC games is they are scheduled waaaay in advance. This OSU series was agreed to in 2014. At that point, we were...
So you think they should get rid of the coaching staff (and QB) of a top 8 team after two consecutive top-4 finishes? I can't imagine you being in...
