he will never know the disappointment that follows tasting their doughnuts

The biggest donut disappointment I've experienced was dunkin and Krispy kreme

The CFL just told Sorsby to F off too. This kid just needs to move in with Johnny Manziel for awhile.

The chickens have come home to roost and not a moment too soon.

So we haven't discussed the Big 12/Monster Energy drink partnership

The Big 12 is everything wrong with sports.

 

[jerseyborn1971]

Monster is so bad for you that Joe DeSena, the founder of Spartan Race turned down a $1 million sponsorship from them during Covid while he was inches from going bankrupt because he, "wouldn't feed his customers poison".

Oh my God they have to be that color green??? Poverty conference.

They sold themselves for $1MM a year. They truly are broke

 

[jerseyborn1971]

I mean $1m for a school like UCF makes a big difference in landing a few other players. If a patch gets you 2-3 better players, it makes sense.

a guy this week on a podcast called locked on BIG 10 was talking rumors about Utah leaving the BIG 12 for the BIG 10 before law makers pass that NCAA bill but again only rumors at this point the way he was talking

 

[zelezo vlk]

I can't imagine that Utah is some great prize for the Big Ten. Haven't they been doing some weird private equity stuff?

 

[Irish#1]

That green patch will look great on KSU's purple jerseys.

Scumbags. The lot of them.

 

[jerseyborn1971]

Beyond me how any half decent human being would vote for Paxton. I don't care if Talarico actually was the alleged vegan they claim he is. That man is the epitome of vile.

Seems like a big deal for BYU's future

People blame the Big Ten and SEC for a lot of college football dysfunction but the truth is that the PAC12, Big 12, and ACC leadership is probably even more culpable. Remember the Big Ten, ACC, and PAC12 announcing "The Alliance" in response to the SEC stealing Texas/Oklahoma? What a joke.

Anyways, sucks that Yormark is failing upwards. Dude is a clown, trumped only by Larry Scott in terms of moronic commissioners. Good riddance.

I’m an Islander fan, he was working overseeing their move to Brooklyn before he was at the big 12, he did such a bad job it lasted 4 years before they moved back to Long Island. I’ll never understand how he got another job after that disaster

Going to Brooklyn was truly bizarre. I could see an argument for going to Queens but Brooklyn? Jeez

In theory Brooklyn wasn’t such a bad idea because it was set up right at an easy access point for public transportation, not as convenient as MSG, but not far off. In practice it was a disaster, not enough trains and easily the worst place I’ve ever seen a hockey game. When questioned about the poor sight lines Yormark said people can watch the games on their phone. It all worked out in the end with the return to Long Island but man that place was brutal

I don't care for this guy, or his second-rate conference, but being commissioner of any college athletics conference other than the Big Ten or SEC at this point is a pretty tough job. No thanks to the guys who had those jobs back when the other conferences still mattered.

 

[Dale]

Yormark really hacked the system, eh?

 

[Dale]

Blow calls to benefit your conference favorites > apologize > get two teams in playoff > count dollars

Great commissioner really

I'm sure it's all just a big coincidence that every week we get these mea culpa letters from the B12 after another egregious call/no-call benefitted BYU. Nothing to see here.
