which I prefer but I guess most don't. I also like the earlier start time so I can actually watch the whole game.

They need to find a way to have this College FB playoff - playhard KC - 1/13 10:10:29

Dan Patrick said it, and is very much true. Most people - tigerman81 MU - 1/13 23:13:45

NFL is a trash league. Doesn't matter - drywallerdave MU - 1/13 18:00:10

agreed... I rarely watch it (nm) - zounami MU - 1/13 18:33:59

Based on it’s success you two might be the only ones - MoGold MU - 1/13 20:34:41

it's the best of the pro leagues, but that's not saying much - zounami MU - 1/13 20:50:23

Agree - that's a good point - Genco98 MU - 1/13 13:46:32

RE: Agree that's a good point - Ragarm MU - 1/13 16:14:18

Drop every D1 team down to 2 regular season warm up games - Fred G. Sanford USA - 1/13 12:28:28

tv views not good by comparison ... - tmcats KSU - 1/13 11:26:38

Because they were played on Thurs and Fri evenings - Erwin Fletcher STL - 1/13 11:37:05

games not being new years or the ev hurt as well ... - tmcats KSU - 1/13 12:12:55

8 teams MAX first game before Christmas, 2nd New Year's - TigerFan92 STL - 1/13 11:13:38

yeah, we should have only gone to 8. We have conference - Joeboo MU

- 1/13 13:12:28

Too long of a break until the Championship Game is played - Carlos Rossi KC - 1/13 11:11:38

huh? (nm) - phrejd KC - 1/13 10:58:00

Maybe he thinks they'll use their endowments to fund NIL (nm) - winslow MU - 1/13 11:11:18

and they absolutely could, if they wanted to (nm) - zounami MU - 1/13 11:13:32

Most absolutely could not. (nm) - kmawv8 MU - 1/13 11:16:25

Havard has a $60 BILLION endowment. It's a private school - zounami MU - 1/13 11:18:55

You are mixing issues - SatoriTiger JC - 1/13 16:12:28

The IRS can revoke a school's Sec. 501(c))(3) status - ScottsdaleTiger MU - 1/13 15:21:24

Mizzou is not likely a 501(c)(3) - SatoriTiger JC - 1/13 16:41:29

ok, then take Duke for example. It's a 501(c)(3) that uses - zounami MU - 1/13 17:29:32

Duke is probably a 501(c)(3), yes - SatoriTiger JC - 1/13 18:17:37

btw, I appreciate the discussion... you've offered some - zounami MU - 1/13 18:37:33

"because the NCAA rules prohibit it" but the NCAA no longer - zounami MU - 1/13 18:33:10

It can enforce those rules - SatoriTiger JC - 1/13 18:35:37

I agree it SHOULD be that way, but Cruz is right... - zounami MU - 1/13 18:44:58

The players can try - SatoriTiger JC - 1/13 18:54:29

strong counterpoints, although I'm curious why you... - zounami MU - 1/13 20:03:19

I described it as nihilistic - SatoriTiger JC - 1/13 20:07:03

actually, I think the rules are the opposite of pointless... - zounami MU - 1/13 20:30:06

Correct, and they haven't done so for schools paying coaches - zounami MU - 1/13 15:29:15

But why would they do that? - KC rules MU - 1/13 12:19:52

it was a hypothetical... "if they wanted to" (nm) - zounami MU - 1/13 12:27:45

They can't do whatever they want. It's a 501(c)(3) - kmawv8 MU - 1/13 11:21:42

you must have missed the recent NCAA-House settlement that - zounami MU - 1/13 11:24:31

...furthermore, if schools can pay a single coach $10M /year - zounami MU - 1/13 12:37:52

That settlement was about NIL collectives being 501(c)(3) - kmawv8 MU - 1/13 11:27:55

it was a civil class-action lawsuit settlement... it didn't - zounami MU - 1/13 12:34:56

Schools are not Collectives - nm - ScottsdaleTiger MU - 1/13 15:32:22

agreed... but what's your point? (nm) - zounami MU - 1/13 15:35:20

no it wasn't, you're confused (nm) - zounami MU - 1/13 11:28:44

[rolls eyes] (nm) - phrejd KC - 1/13 12:25:26

here's a summary of the House settlement for you and kmaw - zounami MU - 1/13 12:30:38

maybe do some research on what an endowment is and the tax - phrejd KC - 1/13 12:37:21

(1) That has nothing to do with the House settlement... - zounami MU - 1/13 12:41:55

or remain ignorant. whatever (nm) - phrejd KC - 1/13 12:42:34

schools are giving $10M+ per year of 501(c)(3)-status money - zounami MU - 1/13 12:49:48

no (nm) - phrejd KC - 1/13 12:50:19

lol, ok (nm) - zounami MU - 1/13 12:52:08

i'm glad we settled that. you may go now. (nm) - phrejd KC - 1/13 13:10:13

...per year, and a lump sum of $3B total (nm) - zounami MU - 1/13 11:26:26

I'd like to think he responded to the wrong thread - kmawv8 MU - 1/13 11:08:04

Squid Bowl Game - SatoriTiger JC - 1/13 10:31:03

they need to get it on OTA tv and off of cable.(nm) - Harvey Specter MU - 1/13 10:19:10
