RCR retiring Kyle Busch's No. 8 car until his son can take over​

i


Richard Childress Racing is temporarily retiring Kyle Busch's No. 8 Cup Series car -- at least until the late driver's 11-year-old son Brexton is ready to take over behind the wheel.

RCR will run the No. 33 car on the Cup Series circuit beginning Sunday night at the Coca-Cola 600 and for the foreseeable future after the 41-year-old Busch died unexpectedly Thursday. The cause of death has not been released.

Austin Hill is scheduled to replace Busch, a two-time Cup Series champion, in the driver's seat at Charlotte Motor Speedway for NASCAR's longest race of the season.

Busch's son, Brexton, is already known for his racing exploits, having won the Tulsa Shootout Jr. Sprint Championship to earn his first career Golden Driller last year.

Name, Image, & Likeness (NIL) at tOSU

calibuck
Interesting take, as was pretty certain that NIL was NOT in anyway connected with the university. Ours or anyones. Supposedly an independent outside organization for purposes of funneling non-school contributions to players. Or somesuch. Not naive enough to believe there was zero interplay between the NIL organization and the school, or AD or team, but dotted line, not direct line. Also believe Wexner, for whatever reason, was 'anti-sports', but am unaware of any funding from Les for players. Other teams have a 'whale' who wholeheartedly supports their sports efforts, bet you can name several. Don't believe tOSU has a whale, but many smaller donors. And, a NIL contract (believe) is for length of stay at the school, and the outside contributions are one-time, making (to me at least) a disconnect of continuity. The leap-of-faith assumption is that if one person stops making contributions, another will rise up to take their place, at a hopefully larger presence. Recollect that a Florida QB left, as his NIL contract was not fulfilled, and his university was NOT on the hook. Anyway, very much a stick wicket, and the NCAA (stands for No Consistency At All), hasn't got either the cojones nor staff to make meaningful enforcements. Stay tuned.

'27 OH CG Kameron Mercer (Cincinnati Verbal)

calibuck
Maybe this guy fits the case of 'a man's gotta know his limitations'? Very surprising, to me and a bunch of posters above. If this guys is still a 5* with all the limitations noted above, then wow. Gotta believe, and hope certainly, that over the course of next couple of years, the performance of the Buckeyes on the hardwood will catch his eye, and that Diebs and Co will continue to stay in touch with this kid. But for now, he's got his scholarship wrapped up.

College Football Playoffs Expansion Discussion

i also don't like extending it much beyond even 10 or 12 because it makes the regular season less meaningful.

but... there's no way the ratings can drop. mathematically it would not go in that direction. more teams = more games = more money. it does somehow "devalue" the regular season, but it doesn't seem to get in the way with mlb, nba, nfl, nhl.

and with nil there's not going to be angst about letting college athletes endure more wear and tear.

so, as long as you don't drop more than something like 3 games in the regular season, and your roster isn't totally depleted, you're going to be in and able to make a run and earn more $$$.

and the more you let in the more it promotes the narrative of "make a run".

This current first round exposure of the non elite teams is no bueno for ratings in the long run. Now they will be able to get idiots like Herbie spewing 'Cinderella!!!" when one mediocre team beats 2-3 mediocre teams before they face a big boy.

Reflexivity of a sort.

What does BP think of Mandela Effects? I find those interesting.. things that just seem undeniable from my childhood: fruit of the loom having a cornucopia, Chik-fil-A, and "take my strong hand" being some of the all time hits. Is my generation collectively misremembering or what is this? Chinese knock off shirts sold at Kmart?
