Kansas Crimson

I want the schools to be schools. do you think the athletes should be students like the general student population? with the same academic requirements as the general student population? I do. That got lost somewhere along the way. I do, also, BUT I think there should be rigorous courses of academi...

We will have to see if the BWW Chad's care. They are the biggest bulk of the fan. They'll need to be told by a number of talking heads that CBB isn't what it used to be and then Twitter/X will be hot with BWW Chad's and their new viewpoint on CBB. I think there is a greater chance you loose a die h...

It's well-said, but at least at the moment the college sports viewership numbers don't bear the concern out. Will that change if the player movement doesn't find a more reasonable level? I think that's more likely than not. I certainly don't think it's coincidental that women's college basketball is...

But with the environment as it is there is a MUCH greater chance you will find yourself at the end of a bench and wink, wink, nudge, nudged at a place like Kansas because of all the money we are now throwing around. The transfer portal is immense. I agree with you. I also think it matters, a lot, t...

at what other high level of competition, can the players come and go freely as they choose? i cannot think of one. Every single one where the athletes aren't under contracts I would guess? Right. Very much a thing most professional athletes are free to do if they want is to only play on one-year co...

No one had guns to these players' heads MAKING them play college basketball without making 500k a year either -- unless you were on team JFish and CnB where it sure felt like the poor college athlete had no other choice but to sadly become, how'd you put it, an indentured servant, and just get by o...

I am not bothered that Kj Adams can do a Raisin' Cane's commercial. I am not bothered that people can transfer freely year to year. I don't see why them sitting out for a year makes it any more tolerable? Because they get what is viewed as "punished"? I think the kids who are transferring...

If a player wants lower stakes, lower pressure, lower benefits and less competition, the player can choose a lower level of hoop. An original argument on this thread about those who wanted to play college ball instead of pro. No one has guns to these players' heads, MAKING them choose programs at t...

none of anything that has happened in the past 4 or 5 years is good for the college game. The players disagree. Not the players who now have a much higher chance of getting forced out. But... now a player who is "forced out" does not have to sit out a year. That's too important to be left...

oh, how far we’ve come?

We've really streamlined the steps from denial to acceptance? In fact, you might say we live in a post-acceptance world.

Serious question, does he make it one night in the woods? Even if you spot him temperatures not dropping below 50 degrees?

I just truly don't understand what we're doing here. nor i John Oliver did a recent bit on a major issue with lethal injections, specifically the acquisition and use of pentobarbital might as well go back to hangings and firing squads If it were my choice, give me the bullets.

NPR: In an analysis of the more than 1,400 lethal injection executions conducted in the U.S. since 1982, researchers for the nonprofit Reprieve reported that states made significantly more mistakes during the executions of Black people than they did with prisoners of other races.
