[quote]Once again, the salary cap would be on the universities not on the athletes. [/quote] I'm not quite following. Are you saying the "cap" would be on the amount the school could pay? If so, there already is a cap on that. It's effectively zero. The schools can't pay the players to play. ...

[quote]Florida St. any good?[/quote] TBD. They were picked to finish 15th in the 43 (really 18) team ACC. They are 7-1 on the year, but have played a really weak schedule thus far except for a home game vs. Florida. In that game Florida controlled the game almost from start to finish en ro...

You almost have to look at it from an investment mindset. HS prospects, even the most promising prospects, still come with a degree of risk they won't live up to that promise in college. You THINK they will be really good, but there is no actual data from them playing in a college game to establ...

This probably will never happen because it makes too much sense.[/quote] It won't happen (in ...

The odds of making it to the NFL are low. There is a marketplace for college athletes. Why should they not attempt to maximize their value? What if someone had an 18 year old son who happened to be the best engineer in the country and several big firms were in a bidding war for his services. Wou...

[quote]LSU is currently ranked 29th in defensive rebounds per game.[/quote] Gross rebounding numbers is not the most informative stat. LSU's FG defense has been pretty good. That means more missed shots = more opportunity for defensive rebounds. The better stat to focus on is defensive rebound...

Sad to see it go, but not surprised. Me and some of my friends went there for dinner on my 21st birthday. It was probably the first year they were open on Nicholson and cheap huge beers + chicken wings was music to a college kid's ears. I went to the one on Bluebonnet one time during the fi...

[quote]They only have one player under 6'5" (at 6'1") who they bring off the bench for a little more than half the game. Beyond that they have a couple of 7 footers and other size they can come off the bench with.[/quote] It's a typical Leonard Hamilton FSU team. They are very big, very athletic...
