The only way to save the bowls is to put them at the beginning of the season and have the outcome count towards the team’s season record.
Schools will probably push back on that. You already see schools cancelling future home-and-home series vs quality opponents that were already on the schedule, blaming it on the move to 9 conference games. Either because they’d rather schedule a cupcake home game to make sure they have a certain number of home games every year or because they’re afraid of risking a non-conference loss that keeps them out of the CFP. Those schools would push back hard on having to both give up home games AND play a top tier opponent
So he was trying to get a lump sum of cash from the network in exchange for ending the current deal early and then entering into a new long term deal that would be at a more network-friendly price? Which then would mortgage the future and drop the franchise value to prospective buyers if they're locked into a long term TV contract that's below market.

None of this shite makes sense, but I guess that's to be expected when dealing with a ponzi schemer

the t.v. deal
Whats the story with the TV deal? I saw that supposedly Walter approached the network and tried to negotiate a lump sum payment to end the TV deal early because he was trying to get an influx of liquid cash. Why would he have thought that the network would be open to that? Was the network having buyer’s remorse and thought they made a mistake and overpaid for thr TV rights and Walter thought he was giving them an out?
They need to require a letter from a doctor to rent those things.

My kids are older now so thankfully Disney vacations are in the rear view mirror for me. But it sucked when you’re getting on the bus to go between the parks and hotel and someone on one of these scooters is getting on and you have to wait for the driver to do all the extra shite to load and secure the scooter. I don’t mind waiting if its for someone with a legit disability. But 90% or more of scooters at the parks are for someone whose only disabilities are laziness and not knowing how to put down a fork
Look up the Meateater Podcast. I know its on Apple podcast app, Youtube, and Spotify.

If you’re unfamiliar, the podcast covers a pretty wide range of topics related to hunting, fishing, wildlife, and almost anything else related to the outdoors.

They just had an entire episode recently interviewing an expert about Alpha Gal syndrome. Episode 908

They didn't have the best players.



Minor league baseball has better players than college baseball, yet college is more popular :dunno:

G-League teams have more talent on their rosters than college teams. Minor league pro basketball is so popular that the Pels G-League affiliate plays their home games at the Pontchartrain Center

quote:

They would.

If the best u22 players are playing, people will watch.


What makes you think that when we've already seen that viewers haven't turned in for all the minor league football organizations that have tried to do it in the last few years? AAF was dissolved after one season. XFL and USFL merged and still aren't in good shape.

If professional minor leagues would lure in viewers, why is college basketball extremely popular while practically nobody watches the NBA G-League?

Why do most SEC baseball programs average higher attendance per game than most minor league baseball teams? LSU averages about 50% more fans per game than the AAA teams with the best attendance numbers in the country. Even though most AAA teams are loaded with former college standouts and would win most series vs top NCAA teams.

Minor league sports are not going to get any big traction because fans don't have any emotional attachment to those teams. Fans do have attachments to colleges though and far more interest in college sports over pro minor leagues as a result.

Six months ago, I was wrongfully terminated from my job after taking a medically-necessary leave

Two weeks ago, I finally found a new job and felt hopeful again.

I was out of work for a week due to COVID. When I returned — on my very first day back — I received devastating news about my son. He became involved in a serious legal situation, and I had to leave work immediately to respond.
quote:

Because of the combination of my COVID absence and the emergency with my son, my employer decided to terminate my position — just two weeks after hiring me.


Is she surprised she got fired or something? A new hire that hasn't even worked a full pay period yet and already calling out sick for a week and then missing more work because their kid got arrested isn't going to get much slack from their employer because its like you're waving a giant red flag at them.

They’re ranked because we can’t rank the G5 teams we used to… being ranked isn’t really that impressive these days if we shrink the field from 136 to like 70 now that can assemble that type of talent


Huh?

The final AP poll last season had North Texas, Tulane, Navy, and James Madison in the top 25

Historically it looks like there were usually 4-6 G5 teams ranked at the end of the season. But that's also before the latest conference realignment that had the Big 12 and Big 10 absorb almost the entire PAC-12 plus the ACC and Big 12 adding most of the G5 programs that were worth a damn. So there's more schools in P4 conferences now than there were even with it was P5

UNC ranked :rotflmao:

I would say that UNC is more likely to fire Belichik at some point this season than they are to be ranked at any point

Wouldn't this be prosecutable as (attempted) contest fraud if there was a hole-in-one prize pot?

I'd like to watch them try to explain to the IRS auditor how their totally legit influencer business generated less than $200 in revenue for the year while claiming $15,000 in meals as business expenses :lol:
IRS would probably look at that type of situation as hobby income as opposed to a true business.

If you have taxable income from a hobby, then you can deduct your hobby expenses up to the amount that zeros out the hobby income. You cannot claim a loss on your taxes from a hobby.

So if your videos generate $500 a year, then you can only deduct $500 of related expenses for tax purposes. Low follower "influencers" are probably only making enough money per video to write off a fraction of the meal check.

There was a helpful explanation on the receipt: says it is charged to offset rising operational expenses and is applied to all transactions and all forms of payment including cash.

You see all the "eat / shop local" campaigns to support small businesses, but then you have small businesses do nonsense like this that makes customers not want to go back again.

Looks like they sacrificed everything :lol:
