LOTS of Gumps grasping at straws to justify their mid season cheating gambit with Bediako
So Dink Pate NEVER had a NBA 2-way contract (G-league only) = eligible to play in the NCAA
Bediako DID have a 2-way contact = Pro NBA player which ≠ equal NCAA eligible
Hope this helps
Nick Perkins@NickyPerkss
Dink Pate played in over 100 G-League games btw, and I’m noticing a distinct lack of outrage once again Color me shocked!

@ClayTravis Yet another reason college football is suddenly terrible

Vanderbilt is one of the biggest beneficiaries of money and population pouring into Southern red states without income taxes like Texas, Florida and Tennessee. Vandy has a real shot to become the best FBS school in the country over the next generation.
Bloomberg@business
Vanderbilt University accepted 2.9% of regular-decision applicants looking to enroll in the freshman class next fall, signaling that one of the most selective colleges in the US has become even more competitive bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@War_Damn_Gulag @lilhaydo23 @TransferPortal @JoeTipton But no problem with the 21 year old freshman euro pro auburn played all season right?

@lilhaydo23 @TransferPortal @JoeTipton What does it mean numbskull? Keeping the same energy I had for you sleazy coach getting a g league reject?

@mattdduncan @LunalNewport You literally said "part of our problem today". Part of what problem?
English
@mprate008 @LunalNewport Why are you asking about today? This post and my response are about the end of the Civil War.
English
The worst thing about how the South lost the Civil War is that we did not punish the Confederate leaders appropriately. It’s a mistake we still haven’t learned and it haunts our politics to this day.
Boston@BostonMassUSA
Confederate Army surrendered 161 years ago today, April 9, 1865.
English
@mprate008 @LunalNewport Yes I understand what happens in war. A war they started. I feel like part of our problem today is they were too easy on slavers and traitors.
English
@mattdduncan @LunalNewport Maybe the mfers didn't want to starve to death and have decades of guerilla warfare geniuses.

@HoosierHaze I must be watching the wrong non revenue sports. Sec dominates baseball/softball. Anyway, None of this is sustainable
English
@mprate008 Not true. Student athletes in the non-revenue sports don’t get paid, but B1G is still winning those titles too
English
A big reason the Big ten is doing so well in so many sports besides the money, is visibility.
The B1G TV footprint spreads over just about every major TV market and across the entire US. Recruits get to see the games, and family/friends can watch them.

@LarryJones He has sided with the uniparty over his base. Tucker Carlson isn't the enemy. He's listening to the wrong people

Why are all these so called conservatives turning their backs on President Trump?

@HecoxMichelle @SetonCbb You can't have a competitive sports league without rules. This is a disaster. It will all collapse. Worse than NASCAR
English
@mprate008 @SetonCbb They were absolutely not getting their market value by receiving a scholarship. The changes are made in order to comply with law. It’s no one’s fault, it’s the law.
English
What happened to the game I love?
Players get paid
Coaches get paid
Fans get nothing and care more about a program than any of the players
If it wasn’t for the fans, players and coaches would be worth nothing
Glad I got to see the other side because it might be gone forever
English
@HecoxMichelle @SetonCbb No one made them play. A lot of kids in lesser sports got a free education. They were getting something for their efforts. Now programs will fold and many young people's lives will be different
English
@SetonCbb Coaches have always been paid. Players should have always been paid and not doing so was a violation of federal law.
Fans get entertained but the players are the ones who give their blood, sweat, and tears.

@CoachScott619 @Mr704intheQC The state has funded the university for the purposes of providing the residents of the state an opportunity for higher education. The idea that it is directly funding the athletics dept so it can “compete” is absurd. Either it competes thru private donations or it loses.
English
Taxpayers paying college players is beyond asinine.
College Transfer Portal@CollegeFBPortal
NEW: Wisconsin athletics will now receive $14.6M annually from the state. This new law recognizes Wisconsin Athletics' role as an “economic engine for the state.” Should taxpayers fund NIL checks for college athletes? 🤯

@CollegeFBPortal @BadgerFootball It’s not NIL money. Read the bill

It’s amazing how STUPID people are. They’re willing to throw away an R majority and potentially the next R presidency because of one god damn issue like Epstein or glyphosate, all while ignoring all of the other positive things this administration has done. If it turns out this way they deserve what’s coming next
English
I went to 4 schools in 4 years and damn sure none of them were paying me to go there
All this to say I have ZERO problems with the transfer portal and young men and women taking advantage of their opportunity to get paid a bunch of money
Sounds more like the fans have the issue

@Eat_Them_Stocks @BamaPack23 Maybe he doesn't play as well around unseasoned food and gray,cold weather
English
@BamaPack23 No, he was just playing lesser competition.

@abrazomack @JohnnieBaxley3 Understood. But it is dumb. Either go full free market and put the NBA out of business or establish rules and common sense
English
@mprate008 @JohnnieBaxley3 It’s 2026 not 2021. Every top 12 seed in the tournament spent $2M+ on their roster.
English
A large public university could probably give a free education to 100 kids for a year for the price of that top big man. Wow.
Jeff Goodman@GoodmanHoops
The @TheFieldOf68 has polled 10-plus high-major head coaches, assistants and GM's for the following prices that elite (Top 25 guys) portal players will likely command:
English
@abrazomack @JohnnieBaxley3 Sure it does. But talent in controlled competition isn't that valuable. Most can't make that money outside of college. People want to watch college kids play, not minor leagues

@Suzierizzo1 @Shellzonit That’s white women for u, I hate them

This racist woman went to University of South Carolina & she’s posting this nasty racist video in her bathroom. She’s talking about how red birds need to be with red birds only & white birds with white birds. She agrees with Segregation & her family is racist. She’s vile & evil.
