  5. https://www.stltoday.com/sports/college/slu/roster-churn-at-slu-nothing-new-in-college-basketball/article_c4cc10cb-5aef-503c-8789-cdcbc8fe8a56.html Nothing new in this article. Williams is indeed waiting for a waiver. Ford doesn’t see a problem but must wait for the process to play out. “You see there’s a lot of people every day getting waivers.” Ford would like to add more size. He expects to sign at least one, if not two players. One could be a transfer and the other is likely to come without college experience. “We’re going to fill one of those shortly,” he said. “We like what we have there. With Jimmy gone, we need depth for practice. Francis and Marten are proven guys and we’re looking for depth.”

  6. I've been to Doha Qatar cool town very modern skyline, best looking airport I've been to but it isn't big. I'm wondering about the venues, plus there's not a huge amount of hotels. This is not the A team and they've found a way to get to the finals. Hopefully this pays off in WCQ with experience in depth.

  7. Yes I'm biased, I live in Texas and I have a degree from Texas. I'm not sure why Star Wars is the benchmark for a National Brand, if that's the standard no sports team is a national brand. I guess because I made a joke about Texas being the evil empire is why you seized onto that comparison. That's a joke because they're villianized by Nebraska, aTm, CU, etc because it's the 800lbs gorilla. All I offered up was facts that I thought supported Texas is a national brand and compared it to one of the most successful MLB baseball teams in terms of revenue which is an objective benchmark. If you are a college football fan Texas is a name team. It is one of the biggest brands in College Sports Learfield IMG Directors Cup winner (only school not named Stanford to win it, I think). Is it national? Just ask yourself these questions...do you know the colors, the mascot, the location, maybe a player or 2? Most even passive sports fans do. That's what a brand is, whatever you think the people putting up the $ think it's more valuable than the other alternatives. National Brand or not the move is most likely impacting college sports as you know it. That's not just me saying that...

  8. You just proved my point by naming Texas amongst other top "brands". If you're not a college football fan then this doesn't matter. A generic college football fan would rather watch Texas vs. Georgia than Ga Tech vs Pitt. 1 match up is bigger brands. You can disagree with me but the evidence supports my case, biggest Nike college contract -Texas, move to SEC speculation is that next ESPN deal is $1.3bil nearly double current SEC ESPN deal. Also just think about how this move has dominated sports reporting. Hell even internal issues about Texas Alma mater was national news. Texas AD revenue is over $200mil/yr, St. Louis Cardinals revenue is estimated $254mil per year. You are entitled to not caring but your bias is contrary to evidence.

  9. Well, good deal. Sounds like if he doesn’t get drafted, he’s a shoe in at Harvard.

  10. It’s a well known FACT that if a kid we’re recruiting doesn’t commit to SLU...we didn’t want him anyway. Everyone knows this.

  11. Come on dude. The Texas Longhorns logo is as identifiable as the Yankees "NY" or the Green Bay Packers "G". Sure there are other schools on UT's level but that's a massive American brand. I promise you can find Texas gear in St. Louis. Try Dick's or Champs.
