Sounds like the WSJ came out supporting the opponents to the stadium project - Jay and Lubrano, in particular, in questioning the risks of going into the red to finance major renovations, at a time when the ADept just about broke even last year, and ongoing budget concerns at the Univ. They pretty much question the Universities projections of future revenues, and its unwillingness to provide more documentation to the BOT.

Or at the least, questioning the wisdom of a $700M "investment" in the future of CFB in Happy Valley. They noted how Nebraska's planned football upgrades have been rapidly scaled back, in the face of changing CFB/NIL etc.

Consider me as one of those who wonder how much longer CFB Big Boys can continue to show growth in revenues/support in an era of NIL, and tightening university budgets. What I read on here about underfunding for the education side of the house/professor salaries/loss of the ability to earn "tenure" etc. tells me that future funding of universities hs been/is in serious decline and question.

This highlights what I've been saying all off season. That Drew Shelton and J'Ven Williams should not be starting LTs in 2024.

He starts with Shelton. He has to show Shelton vs Delaware just to highlight the good. But watch how bad and easy Shelton gets beat the few plays he shows vs Ole Miss. Tengwall is only showing a few plays for a short video, but those two plays of Shelton vs Ole Miss is how bad he got beat in Pass Pro in 90% Pass plays vs Ole Miss. I went back and rewatched all his pass plays vs Ole Miss, so I'm not just saying this. Shelton will not hold up vs good teams.

J'ven can't even block Delaware guys.

Now on the flip side look at how much better Rucci and Donkoh were. Donkoh will be the best OT on the team. He got beat vs Ole Miss because of mental mistakes NOT physical. It was Donkohs first game starting at OT. I don't know why he didn't show any plays of Donkoh in Pass Pro vs Ole Miss because he played great.

Even though Rucci wasn't perfect look at the difference compared to Shelton. Shelton couldn't block Ole Miss DEs. Rucci got bull rushed a bit NOT by DEs but big LSU 300lb DTs. 260lb DEs will not bull rush Rucci the same. Also Rucci was barely 300lbs at Wisconsin and is about 315lbs now at PSU.

Rucci is the better LT over Shelton.

For the right to play our ‘White Out’ games against our best opponents.

Airlines shut down, computers crashing. Banks, healthcare affected.

Seems that Crowdstrike installed updates over night with a serious glitch that spread throughout the world.

Really shows just how vulnerable we all are.

PS: affected gambling, NIL payments, travel so football related!🥴

Looking for 4 WVU tickets but will take less than 4 if available.

How's revenue sharing going to effect Title IX? All I see looking it up is Title IX applies to the new revenue sharing, yet there lacks clarity of how it will be dispersed school to school. Right now it looks like it's the schools discretion how much money they give to women's sports? Is that correct, for now?

I saw a tweet few weeks back saying SEC schools will give $15mil of the $20-22 mil to football. If Title IX implies the money is to be distributed "equally" between men and women sports than you cant give $15mil to football and $15mil to women because you would exceed the $20-22 mil cap.

Another question, is the revenue sharing cap $20 or $22mil? I kept hearing $22mil but now everything I read says $20mil?

This just arrived in my email, appears to be legit (the settlement itself was announced 2 months ago):

Everyone loves a long, hyper-athletic point guard and Thomas is just that. He possesses the length, athleticism and passing ability to impact games even when he isn’t posting gaudy point totals, so when he’s scoring at will as he was on Saturday afternoon, he becomes one of the most dynamic prospects in the class.

Thomas racked up 20 points and nine rebounds, and a number of crafty assists in his New Heights Lightning team’s win over the NY Rens on Saturday. He displayed a type of vocal leadership that’s rare in such young prospects, constantly motivating and coaching his teammates. Watching Thomas operate is an absolute joy on most occasions, as he’s as spirited and confident as he is effective.
Recruitment: Thomas is seriously considering programs such as Auburn, Pitt, Arkansas, Penn State, UConn and Indiana.

Of all the things 4x NCAA Champ Aaron Brooks pulled off in his final college campaign, this first period pin in the quarerfinals of NCAA's may have been the coldest. Ankle pick to double to seatbelt underhook to twisting throw to cement job. This on the eventual 3rd place finisher who, if you take out this match, went 6-0 & outscored his opponents 61-12.

Brooks for his part went 5-0 at 2024 NCAA's, including two wins by fall & two by tech fall & zero (!) TD's given up. Is an Olympic 🥇next?
