My wife and I were given 2 tickets to the South Stadium club for Saturday. We would would like to bring our 2 year old but don't wanna pay over $100 to bring him. We would be fine leaving him with the Grandparents but it would be nice if we could all go.

I know this is kind of of silly ask, but If you have an extra SSC ticket and would be willing to part with it for less please let me know.

YouTube has grown year over year for over 25 years and has accelerated growth since covid.

If you think its a bubble I think you are mistaken. Its the most consumed form of media in the world.

I wasn't on board with some of the signees for the basketball team, but I'm officially out of phuchs.

Just let them all play.

The NCAA rules allow a player to play college basketball (under certain conditions) even if they previously played in pro league (Euro, G-Leauge, etc) as long as they haven't previously played college basketball. That why guys coming to college directly from the G-League and international pro leagues are eligible...because they didn't previously play college basketball. Luis doesn't fit that criterial. The NCAA also successfully argued in the Beadiko case that Beadiko was ineligible because he signed a NBA contract (2-way contracts are NBA contracts). Luis signed a 2-way contract with Utah. The NCAA's position is the signing of that contract is what made him ineligible...not actually playing any NBA games under it.

I understand how that case worked, but I also know from people who are highly familiar with the program the legal tactic will not be the same as that case. Allegedly it’s more about the validity of the rule where the bama case was akin to contract enforcement.

Not saying it will be a successful petition either.

I don't see any world in which Luis get cleared to play in. Wade has to have a plan in place for this. It’s worth a shot but I know he has to have other things going on behind the scenes to bring in some additional pieces.

He wont be cleared by the NCAA, but if we have support from the local Judiciaries that wont matter. Injunctions, delayed hearings, appeals etc. We could conceivably lose the case next April and still get a full year out of these guys.

The way it works over there for soccer and basketball are similar. Kids will be scouted and entered into academies(club youth programs) as young as 7-10 years old. Very similar to IMG here, full time school and training. Those go until age 16-18 where starting at 16 you can be signed to a contract and play professional for these clubs. This is why the euro pros are allowed in college, they dont have sports in high school, and if they are decent they will be signed to a contract as a future prospect(similar to MLB teams signing international kids at 16).

If you are good enough, some of these academies will move you and your whole family over from an under developed nation to put you in their pipeline.

College sports is a uniquely American thing. In Europe competitive sports are done in clubs. Anyone and any age can participate, although some of the competitions are age capped. Essentially, the neighborhood clubs are the same as clubs like Real Madrid, Barca, etc., just on a higher or lower level. The divisions and promotions are way to complicated and vary for each sport.

The clubs can run soccer, basketball, rugby and what ever else they chose, although some stick to a single sport.
