Very cool! Tennis is coming down to the wire. Tied 3-3, #2 singles (Andres Castellanos) will determine the winner. He's down 5-4 in the final set.

Pretty good thread on GMU's new logos/wordmarks: The new shades of green and gold are a positive. There are some decent wordmarks in the second tweet in this thread and those could make for some nice uniforms with the new colors that should pop a little more. There's also the secondary 'patriot head' logo that was updated but never gets used. Maybe they'll roll that out more. However, the primary GM logo and wordmark are weak. More modern and clean than the previous middle school MS Paint-designed logo they previously used, but boring.

You haven't heard me talk about Dayton, then?

Double check the date on that. He's visiting Wisconsin today.

Sometimes the truth does not have a positive spin.

To be fair, the previous logo was also really bad. Bad brand, bad school, bad athletic program, bad fans. I can't stand GMU. Keep up the bad work, losers.

Third straight week with 90+ minutes of MBB coverage.

If Zyree Collins decides to Google himself, this thread is the 10th hit. Let's hope he doesn't.

There's no rush. He can do it all in due time.

As long as sports are tied to college education, there's a somewhat logical length of time that a career can last. As toothless as the NCAA has become, I don't see careers stretching over the existing 6-year limit. But hey, you're the lawyer, not me. By the way, midseason transfers already exist. I'm not sure why that's part of this particular argument.

I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you saying there will be a lawsuit stating that they can stay eligible within the NCAA indefinitely? They're already not restricted to 4-year careers - athletes have 6 years in which to play 4 full seasons.

We're going to see some of the bloat exit in 2025 after the final season of COVID bonus players work through the system. However, I expect to see every stall tactic possible from players. Everyone is going to take advantage of the grad transfer rule now. If players have any chance at all to redshirt, medical or otherwise, you'll see them go for it. Any way to stretch a 4-year career into 5 will be utilized. And it's hard to blame them as long as the market exists.

Some big announcements in the next couple days should calm your nerves.
