2026-27 Ohio State Men's Basketball

calibuck
Have played tennis on clay, composite, and grass. Doubt you could put artificial floor on grass would certainly ruin it. Clay OK, composite (where 95% of tennis is played (?) great. PS, grass is very much harder to play on. Ball doesn't bounce, it skitters. Clay, ball is slowed down, and bounces rather nicely right into your racquet. Anyway, both grass and class are nightmares to maintain. But like the big stadium for basketball. How come UD can do, and tOSU cannot?

I think the argument is with having the kids sign contracts. Sign a 2-year or 3-year or 4-year contract. There... now you're stuck in this contract, unless we release you. And the road should run both ways. You signed me to a 3-year contract. You can't release me until it's up, unless I agree to part ways.
I'm no lawyer, so I don't know what clauses need to go into those contracts.

I mean, Joey Joe Joe can't just leave the Miami Dolphins any time he wants - he needs to play out his contract. I know the Dolphins can cut Joey Joe Joe, so he was smart and made a certain amount of his contract "guaranteed".

I think the difference between NCAA and NFL is that the NCAA pretends to include higher education as the reason the kids are there. "This school doesn't have what I really want to study, so I'd like to transfer to another school." And who am I to tell him that he can't transfer schools? Sure, his contract might say he has 2 more years to play football for the first school, but he's already transferred out. He can't go to play football for one school and go play college in another school. So contracts probably can't work for college athletes.

Correct-contracts with the school(s) is so far off the real world reality why even bring it up? The conversation was on what's wrongheaded about the attempt to limit their movement (and indirectly their income).

The players being on 1 year agreements with schools/NIL was referred to as "ridiculous". My question is why it's ridiculous for anyone, in any profession to have the freedom to change jobs as often as they like unless they have agreed to participate in a CBA and movement is restricted?

ESPN already at it with their garbage FPI that they will of course use to prop up their SEC narrative

Every SEC team in the top 50, every SEC team in the TOP 20! of the SOS rankings.

Complete garbage to form the base for SOS rankings off of your own "predictive model" that is based pretty much completely off of prior year recruiting rankings and with zero actual on the field data from the current season.

Somewhere I saw a list of toughest schedules. SEC was 14 of the top 15 hardest schedules, with Ohio State at #8, and all 16 teams in the top 20.

Here - I finded it:

speaking of missing the mark....what is different about these kids and any other tax paying citizen? Anyone can leave for more money anytime they want to. This is America.

You down for having your profession regulated like that? By a governing body you have no say in?
