A-10 OT: Mason has a new logo

Sometimes the truth does not have a positive spin. -
A-10 OT: Mason has a new logo
Pistol replied to BrettJollyComedyHour's topic in Billikens.com Main Board
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. -

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

WELCOME HEAD COACH JOSH SCHERTZ!!
Pistol replied to DeSmetBilliken's topic in Billikens.com Main Board
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. -

WELCOME HEAD COACH JOSH SCHERTZ!!

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.

We don't know yet. Enough people are following closely enough that when we have any information on Williford, it will be shared here. Yes. It goes through May 15. It will be more of a trickle than the week-long period in the fall.

This upcoming season is the last possible time to use a COVID bonus year. I don't disagree that the market has gotten out of control. I still think we're going to see it cool when some of these really high dollar signings don't pan out, or at least don't turn out to be worth high-6 or low-7 figures to the fans who funded the deals. I like the endorsement side of NIL. Every time I see a college athlete pop up in an ad, I remember there's no reason we couldn't have had that all along. And had they allowed that all along (back before CBB and CFB became multi-billion-dollar industries), it probably would've prevented the out of control super PAC-style unregulated NIL market that we all hate- expensive to compete, devoid of transparency, and chock full of unscrupulous actors.
