Texas Tech Red Raiders (sponsored by BET365)

You neglected to mention players who are deterred from gambling due to potential punishment, but that isn't as easily quantifiable. Maybe I'm missing your point, but I don't think because some people break the rules means they are inconsequential or unneeded. People break laws all the time. Should we just stop having them because they aren't enforced to perfection or have a 100% preventative effect?

You are correct. You are missing the point entirely.
And what makes it "faux" moral outrage? I don't understand why you are try to delegitimize people upset that those expected to uphold justice are failing at their duties. Seems like some form of edgy Gen-X apathy that we should all stop caring how corrupt the world is and not push back.

Uphold justice ? :lol:

This is big business and politics. You aren't using the right lens to analyze what's going on. Power and self interest. Those are the drivers of behavior. Especially among people at the top of organizations.

You think the UGA athletic director crying that "we need a common set of rules for everyone to follow" is because he really wants to make sure everyone is playing fair? Like little kids on a playground? No, they are acting outraged to then use this as an example of why their original position should be implemented. They want to control the system-have power.

Spare me the millennial social justice angle if you can't even follow the game that is actually being played.

Cincinnati Reds (2026 Season Thread)

I don't give financial advice but if I were doing so, this would be my advice. You can feed an African nation for 3 years on the money you can make off these assholes.

-Live bet them,
-wait til they get a lead and fade them
-you are getting a plus money bet most nights against the worst bullpen in baseball (and an offense that doesn't have the ability to come back often).

Nothing wins 100% but at plus money, you don't have to.
I can attest to this theory especially since mid May

Cincinnati Reds (2026 Season Thread)

I won a bunch of bets a few years ago waiting for the White Sox to get a lead, then betting they would blow it. It seems like the Reds have a better offense (somehow) and a much worse bullpen. So that's what I'll be doing till CFB season.

Fuck Kriby Hocutt. We all know that if this guy were a 3rd string center, he'd be long gone. And maybe TT didn't fund the lawsuit, but your most powerful booster who controls the AD and the board sure as shit did. And while your President my not be doing this because he's Santa Ono and just wants to sniff football player musk, he's sure as shit is playing ball because if he shows any real independent action and integrity, that booster would run him out of west tejas on a rail.
Yep the statement earlier sounded like they were going to pull the old oh he didn't clear rehab and keep from playing but as as it's more and more of it comes out nope that was selectively cut out of a bigger thing to make it look a certain way

Ohio State Wrestling (2015/2017/2018 B1G Champs, 2015 National Champs, 2019 National Runners-up)

Sound like Captain Obvious (even to me), so this weight thing seems to be constant throughout the season. Gotta be tough. Except for the HWT division, these competitors do look like 'slim, trim, fighting machines', with zero excess body fat. I'd probably want to be HWT, and look like a sumo wrestler. Couldn't do what these kids do....

Wrestlers are consistently the hardest working athletes I know, and some of the best people in general because of that.
They are also the most miserable to be around during the season :lol:

I know many C-Suites who will hire wrestlers (college at any level) over just about any candidate because the grind you mentioned teaches them self discipline and control like few other things can. How their availability impacts the team, the day to day practice grind, very little accolades, etc. all make for eventual business leaders.
