@PeteNakos Coaches leaving before the playoffs is awful. But the idea that the government should regulate this is absolutely ridiculous.

The bill also includes an NFL-style rule, dubbed the "Lane Kiffin Rule", which would prohibit coaches from leaving their team before the season ends. Would be enforced at the conference level.

The most important piece of this Senate bill: Includes the opportunity for schools to collectively pool media rights. A threshold of 75% of 138 FBS schools must be reached. Even if Big Ten + SEC didn't sign off and rest of FBS did, it would be over 75%. on3.com/news/senators-…

@PeteFiutak This is so obviously unconstitutional. The only real option to get those restrictions is through collective bargaining.
English
The government wants to regulate the employment practices of a company, and along the way, wants to tell private institutions what they can and can't spend money on?!
Federal legislation will try to restrict coaches from searching for and taking other jobs?
This should go great

@CoachD178 I struggle to see how some of those restrictions will pass constitutional muster (unless some sort of representative players association agrees to them).
English
We are going to study all this and discuss it in tomorrow’s show. A lot I like here. Some I don’t. Overall think this a definitely a net positive in many areas.

@RossDellenger @YahooSports Unless the player signs a contract, not sure what right they have to restrict football players as an example from transferring when any other student can transfer on their own as many times as they want and can get accepted

@RossDellenger @YahooSports Unless some sort of players entity, like a union, agrees to these restrictions, I find it hard to believe this is constitutional.

@bearsfan302 @chicagobars Yes, many entities within the city would like the Bears to stay.Nobody is arguing that.But it's also pretty obvious that a Hammond stadium would be better for Chicago hotels, restaurants, & bars than an Arlington Heights one.This is obvious and common sense, not some conspiracy.
English
@27dch @chicagobars Everyone hates the mayor 😂😂🚛 doesn't change the fact there are other forces that want the bears in Chicago
English
Oh Lord, we’ve reached the “Taking hostages” phase of the McCaskey stadium subsidy Statehouse boondoggle.
“Gosh if taxpayers don’t subsidize a new stadium for the billionaire heirs of a NFL team then that $200M chunk of Arlington Heights they bought might become worthless!”🙄

House megaprojects sponsor on the Cook County Treasurer’s office’s analysis: “The real choice is not ‘full taxes versus reduced taxes.’ The real choice is a negotiated payment on a real project, or full taxes on an empty lot. Nothing from nothing leaves nothing.”

@bearsfan302 @chicagobars Maria Pappas hates Brandon Johnson and is considering running against him. To suggest she is in his pocket is comical.
English
@27dch @chicagobars Do you know political connections are yes, the main office is in Chicago but yet they have no connections to the city 😂😂
English
@bearsfan302 @chicagobars Do you really not know the difference between a city and a county???
English
@bearsfan302 @chicagobars The Cook County Treasurer's office has nothing to do with the city and the mayor.
English
@27dch @chicagobars Lol So on office from the city answers to the mayor has no stake in it right
English
@bearsfan302 @chicagobars The City of Chicago has absolutely nothing to do with the "numbers" of local taxes in Arlington Heights and state taxes.

@27dch @chicagobars Because all sudden the day put this bad report out the final week of the session also the numbers are fudged immensely because they don't know the final numbers

@BlueGemworld @Timberwolves Why would they move them now, before the expansion teams start?
English
@Timberwolves This franchise has played their last game in the Western Conference.
English
@bearsfan302 @chicagobars Why is BS that they'd prefer the option is that obviously the better of the two for the city???
English
@chicagobars The fact is this is totally Bs from Chicago bc they are upset about losing the bears so they are going to put out bs articles it's amazing how you don't know how the game is played
English
@NicoleAuerbach If we want conference championships to mean something moving forward, then that must be reflected in the playoff fornat.
English
Lea said he supports the SEC championship game and how it means something to leave the field with a trophy that says SEC champion on it.
English
Clark Lea on the CFB calendar: "Start with the end in mind. Keep January 1st sacred in college football. Find slots where we aren't in competition with the NFL, I think that's important and doable. Let's reimagine how we bring the season to a conclusion."

Pat Ryan Jr: Ryan Field's opening is on time for Oct. 2.
There will be no concerts at the stadium until 2027.
Other events;
ETHS will take on New Trier on Oct. 16 at the New Ryan Field.
ETHS men's and women's basketball will host New Trier at Welsh-Ryan next winter.

@Renegadesx312 @Suntimes @ChicagoBears Its literally better for Chicago if they choose Hammond. FAR better.
English
@Suntimes Fuck em Illinois corrupt lawmakers and their whiny Chicagoan crybabies. @ChicagoBears move the team to Indiana already!
English
Legislation meant to keep the Chicago Bears in Illinois comes at a cost — one that the average Illinois homeowner may not find worth it, a new report from Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas’ office suggests. chicago.suntimes.com/bears-stadium/…
English
@Suntimes Funny. Most stadiums are booms. Not in Democratically run Chicago or Illinois for that matter. Way to ruin a once great state.
English
@jlevija87 @Suntimes Those people will still come and stay, eat, and drink in Chicago for a stadium 2 minutes over the border. In fact, Chicago will get far more business from a Hammond stadium than a Arlington Heights one. This is common sense.
English
@Suntimes Tell the people how much money Chicago and Illinois lose with the Bears in Indiana. There are some of us only come to Chicago to see either the Bears and soldier field even if the team isn't playing. How much money are they losing.
English
@jlevija87 @WGNNews That location is prime for so many things. Somebody will happily develop it, probably into that type of entertainment mini-city. It's hardly the Bears or nothing.
English
@WGNNews Regardless, the residents are taking the negative because what no one is willing to talk about is the revenue generated and taxes paid through the revenue that gets generated. With no revenue, residents pick up all slack because the political class won't stop spending money.
English
New report: #Bears, other developers would win big with property tax relief provided under pending megaprojects bill. But Illinois residents? Not so much.

@ta11131262 @WGNNews 6 whole NFL stadiums are privately owned.
Yes, being in the prime middle of the NW burbs has high taxes. THEY bought there knowing this.
Hammond is literally less than a mile from the border and far closer to the city. Our workers will get jobs.
English
@WGNNews Yeah, 10-12m in property taxes a year, more than ANY OTHER NFL STADIUM PAYS, hundreds or thousands of jobs for the community, etc.
Absolutely nothing for Illinois at all… 🤡🤡🤡
