They do not help fund academia, which of those schools you mentioned did the football program help fund the library? As for being “full-sustainable” I sure hope they are seeing how they don’t pay their athletes. However, how many of those lower “Power 5” or schools outside of the “Power 5” are self-sustainable?

Colin Cowherd is the lowest form of life. At least guys like Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless were respected journalists at one time. Not sure what Cowherd does other than shill and say stupid, quasi-racist, racist shit on air. The fact Fox Sports 1 uses the adjective “intelligent” to describe in their promos should…

If a teacher did they would be fired. If a winning coach does it, it’s called “passion” or “fiery.”

How high was your rank in chess club?

He’s a sociopath but hey, he wins (it’s why people like Bobby Knight lasted so long).

How much do you consider reasonable?

As much as I love sports, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve been less and less supportive of it, especially at the academic level.

So basically Brett Favre did to the deer what the real estate market did to Mark Brunell’s bank account.

I agree, it was similar to the Pistons under Larry Brown. They got the title under Brown but it was Carlisle who built the foundation (he turned a shitty team into a legit playoff team).

“How do you like my gold plates motherfucker?!?!?”

As a former Miami assistant who went onto coach in the SEC said (I’m paraphrasing here): “what happened at Miami (Shapiro scandal) is nothing compared to what goes on in this conference.”

His cousin Curtis Enis has yet to comment.

It’s not as if Ali would have been sent into combat. He likely would have been used to promote the military so I wouldn’t call his stance “opportunistic.” Besides, he accepted what came with his refusal to enter the draft.

Who cares if he acts professional or not. The question is if he can get it done on the field. Teams that focus on “professionalism” which IMO is codeword for “being petty” end up losing. The Browns allowed this to become a distraction. The owners is a crook so it’s not like he has room to talk either.
