They got it done. Next up.UCLA needed three runs in the bottom of the 9th to avoid the 0 & 2 & BBQ finish to the season.
That is my understanding. Only two more games today. Two tomorrow if needed.If the Noles beat the STJ/NIU loser today. will they play (hopefully) both games against the winner tomorrow?
The #4 seed going through the winners bracket.St John’s winning 19-7 in the fourth quarter…
Ben Barrett‘s 3 run shot leads Noles into the bottom of the tenth in Tally.
Yay!!!
We play again tomorrow after a 7-4 win tonight.
It was not easy. But at least made it to last two against 4 seed.
Yup. Saw that today. Sickening.Well, mark Softball as another sport ruined by money.
Our top two players have entered the portal to chase that big money.

College girl not girls. It might be plural in the future but not now. Will Isa be the second?I am close to being done with college sports until the NIL era implodes. And it will. Nothing about this sustainable. Professional women’s softball pays 30-75k and now we have college girls getting 7 figures….with no ROI other than a natty. Which by the way Texas Tech still has not got.
True single season but many others are getting 7 figure contracts over multiple years. It’s nuts.College girl not girls. It might be plural in the future but not now. Will Isa be the second?
My guess (which is somewhat informed by conversations that I have been hearing among UC administrators) is that we are going to see a fundamental reorganization of athletics departments into semi-autonomous private franchises for the major school's revenue sports and a shift back to truly amateur on-campus sports for most everything else.Football and basketball are long gone and have been for a while.
Sux that it has invaded everywhere.
I can’t imagine college sports in three years from now.
So, basically football and basketball will split off. Is the suggestion that truly amateur would not allow NIL?My guess (which is somewhat informed by conversations that I have been hearing among UC administrators) is that we are going to see a fundamental reorganization of athletics departments into semi-autonomous private franchises for the major school's revenue sports and a shift back to truly amateur on-campus sports for most everything else.
Truly amateur based on what I have heard would mean no scholarships or payments to athletes from the university, like the Ivy League schools. Essentially, all of the sports would be treated like club sports. NIL is a right that can not be denied to the athletes, so boosters clubs and other organizations and businesses can pay athletes whatever they want to pay them, but the university would have no involvement with it. The athletes would be treated like any other students at the university.So, basically football and basketball will split off. Is the suggestion that truly amateur would not allow NIL?
Who takes over the debt for the renovated Doak?
Thanks. It sounds like traveling to play a rival would be out for most sports. There is an awful lot of infrastructure on many campuses that would see a lot less use.Truly amateur based on what I have heard would mean no scholarships or payments to athletes from the university, like the Ivy League schools.

How do they get around title 9 with that approach?Truly amateur based on what I have heard would mean no scholarships or payments to athletes from the university, like the Ivy League schools.

Relegating women sports to club teams with no scholarship or NIL while letting football and men’s basketball players become millionaires. Hard to do that and maintain ties to university and have them students I would think.In which specific regard?
All athletes would still be eligible for NIL. Essentially, the plan is to treat all students equally with regard to their ability to make money. The basketball and football teams would be independent, private entities that pay the university a licensing fee to use the name, logos, facilities, etc. The players would be regular employees of those entities, and thus not subject to Title IX.Relegating women sports to club teams with no scholarship or NIL while letting football and men’s basketball players become millionaires.

The skuttle-butt online puts Isa at about $500k for next year. Most of the top players who are going in the portal are looking at six figures. Tech apparently has a $2 million/year budget. Now that Canady is gone they have room for a couple more big payouts.College girl not girls. It might be plural in the future but not now. Will Isa be the second?
Removing the football team, which is far and away the largest group of athletes, would certainly change Title IX numbers. I could see men’s lacrosse being added, for instance.All athletes would still be eligible for NIL. Essentially, the plan is to treat all students equally with regard to their ability to make money.
