I truly believe any program that considers themselves a blue blood would do that. Every OU fan will tell you "the program is bigger than 1 guy" when something like this happens or when we lose a player to some other team. It has been ingrained into us as a collective.

If the Unlimited NIL-on-the-side continues then it is a lost cause. The courts have already ruled that the NCAA cannot limit 3rd party NIL payments, and their clearing house cannot deny deals since those get litigated as well. So collective bargaining would have to somehow limit NIL, which is...

It has been tough to keep track of rosters in Football, Basketball, Baseball, and Softball over the last 3 years. The portal is fine, but unlimited transfers and immediate eligibility are just awful for the game.

I love how they were completely fine with their pay for the work they did....until they saw how much it made. If they thought this movie was going to be so successful then why didn't they forego pay for a share of the profits?

I hear you, but I am 100% certain that if the Mateer thing had been anything other than clearly a joke that they would have kicked him of the team. Venables is that kind of coach to a fault, and OU's compliance department saw the toll that those Switzer teams took on the University's image and...

I guarantee you that it was exactly the joke he said it was, because my football team has done EXACTLY the thing that you have claimed they wouldn't do and they have done it multiple times. If you actually read the story and were a fan, you know we were all super nervous that there was any...

I am actually astounded that a judge would agree that he should be given relief of punishment for violating a defined NCAA rule because it would "impact his future earning potential." The NFL is more hardcore about the integrity thing than the NCAA, and it actually wouldn't surprise me if...

I know you on the boards and like you; you are not this obtuse.

Are you being serious here trying to claim the extra years of eligibility lawsuits are even remotely the same? Chambliss from Ole Miss and Heinecke from OU both sued because they said they had eligibility issues stemming from injuries and should have the extra year. Sorsby bet on his own...

No. The hate coming at the TTU Administration and Cody Fat-Fuck Campbell has nothing to do with them defending Sorsby and everything to do with them hiding behind gambling as a fucking disease that he is "recovering from" instead of admitting that they made a 6 million dollar gamble on a...

I guess this is the most important news to kick off the new season thread? If there are any Red Raiders on the board.....your president and AD's statements supporting Sorsby were disgusting and I hope you lose every game.

My favorite part of his writing was the "we're in a crazy MMORPG where anything can happen" style that the first 5 books really put on display. It has morphed into a universe-spanning political/technological struggle of the crawlers and AI vs. the outside universe. I think you and I liked the...

I played Rogue Trader for the great story and setting. Combat actually got in the way of that.

I finally broke down and watched the cutscenes of GoW Ragnarok so that I could see the conclusion of the game. Do you know what is inescapable when you just watch some cutscenes? The modern dialogue from all of the characters outside of Kratos and Freya. It is fucking wild how bad the...
