It still remains to be seen how the NIL plays out under the House Settlement. As I understand it, the revenue sharing kicks in on July 1st, but NIL restrictions became effective when the Settlement was signed. If so (and I could be wrong on that), the kids who have yet to sign an NIL deal are losing money.

It seems odd that there is one enforcement date for revenue sharing and another for NIL, but I've been unable to find anything to dispute it.

Either way, the NIL valuation and even the Enforcement Committee are going to face a barrage of legal challenges, and I doubt either will have a lot of staying power.

We're just getting started.

The dog pile is one of baseball's dumbest "traditions." It's even worse than the football Gatorade bath. Wasn't it Mestepey (sp?) Who got hurt in one of those?

Maybe we just trust the coach who knows his team better than any of us do.

Heck, maybe Pearson and Curiel are both motivated by their spots in the lineup and both have big days.

It's LSU, at home, in a huge game. Good things tend to happen.

There's a difference between rowdy fans jawing at opposing players and a coach and his players mouthing off to players and umpires. One is generally expected. The other is not.

On the West Virginia 247 site, there's a story about a their players getting "chippy with Clemson's All-ACC starting pitcher. It seems to have worked, because he gave up three runs in the first inning.

The umpire went to the West Virginia dugout and told the coach to tone it down. The coach said he "barked" at the umpire and told him to concentrate on the Clemson crowd, not the 20 guys in the West Virginia dugout, and the exchange got pretty heated.

The coach (named Sabins) is all for his players yapping at the other team (and the coach getting heated at the umpire) in an effort to win.

Vitello Jr coming to The Box this weekend?

It appears that USC has set their sights on Houston, and they're making a big push for him.

I guess it's just a matter of what you like. I knew a guy who spent a lot of money and time on remote-controlled airplanes. I found it the most boring thing imaginable. A lot of my friends deer hunt, but I would much rather go to a Broadway musical.

To each his own. Universal is still a blast as far as I'm concerned.

That is the original phrase

Because ESPN also thought the 7-time CWS champion would be a bigger draw in prime time.

People on this board whine like little girls when the football games are in the daytime and when the baseball games are at night.

Develop some backbone.

If you put Frey at 3rd, a difficult grounder will automatically find him at a crucial time of the game. And if you put him there after he hasn't played there all year, his nervousness would be sky high, and rightfully so.

No, you absolutely cannot put him at 3rd.
