@drridpath Too many schools with no business trying to keep up with the Jonses in FB. More schools need a slice of humble pie and drop down. I live in Europe, love the club-model idea.

si.com/college/2020/0…"A fact rarely acknowledged by athletic departments looking to make cuts: Olympic sports can generate millions for universities, filling what would be empty classroom seats with athletes who are paying full or partial tuition"

I think every player on the roster for both Phillies & Blue Jays in the '93 WS is on PED's except Kruk. Every single guy. They just don't look right. I have no proof. My opinion.

@MarkPumm @richarddeitsch This one gets my Screamin A Smith/Skip Bayless completely uniformed hot taek as the best story on here.

@richarddeitsch In 1971, I was riding bikes with my friend. We saw OJ Simpson and Al Cowlings going into Your Host (local coffee shop) in Amherst NY (suburb of Buffalo). Al had on his USC letter jacket. I asked Al if I could have his jacket. He said no. Asked OJ to buy us breakfast. He said no.

Tell me about the first pro or college athlete you ever met in person, where it was, and what your takeaway from the interaction was. Responses will build up below so people can read them. Thanks.

Bill Self makes $4m per year so Kansas could save more money just cutting his salary by 25% for one year instead of doing all this.

In an email to donors, AD Jeff Long says KU Athletics will have staff-wide furloughs and/or paycuts for the next six months. Here are the structures announced. Estimated savings with this additional measure is about $650,000.

Lots of smoke here. AD Anderson has some questions to answer. On the surface it looks like another puppet AD kowtowing to a booster.

.@YahooSports obtained emails via FOIA where Bobby Hurley accuses ASU AD Ray Anderson of minimizing sexual harassment allegations against three women, including Hurley's wife. Hurley to his boss: "I feel like I’ve been lied to." sports.yahoo.com/document-bobby…

Your coach for one of your two revenue producers or one of your fat-cat boosters? Yikes, that’s quite the ethical pickle for Ray. Not sure I’d go for option b, ripping Hurls, but hey, that’s a technique.

Column: Per media reports, UConn is on its way to eliminating sports next month. Here's what AD David Benedict needs to stand up and say to the affected athletes if that happens: We failed at football, and we failed you. bit.ly/2X2erZ1
English
And yet the folks who made all these horrible hires and agreed to these terrible contracts continue to be employed as ADs.

@EliManning Also need to make sure you don’t get caught night putting with the dean’s daughter.

Hope your golf game is as polished as your Twitter game. Don’t hit it in the lumberyard.

@Thelandlord2003 That’’s the attitude to have, but they prolly still lie to you.

Why i always tell coaches to keep it real. Let me know wassup

@Thelandlord2003 The system sets you all up for failure. Too many voices saying what they think you want to hear, not enough people telling you real facts.

@drridpath @ByBerkowitz Tie these type of bonuses to the actual degrees they get and watch these numbers drop.
English
@ByBerkowitz One of the silliest bonuses out there. Just an excuse to pay coaches more. Not hard to get an APR bonus nor does it mean anything toward academic integrity. It’s a mask of eligibility maintenence to perpetuate a facade. Bonus? Give me a break.
The Plains, OH 🇺🇸 English
Among coaches whose schools say they will, or intend to, pay APR bonuses:
--Kentucky's John Calipari ($50,000)
--Florida’s Dan Mullen and Mike White ($100,000 apiece)
USA TODAY Sports@usatodaysports
Amid the financial chaos sparked by the coronavirus pandemic, some colleges are still contractually obligated to pay coaches and athletics directors big bonuses based on academic performance figures. usatoday.com/story/sports/2…
