  1. NCAA will take away 5 USC Scholarships, and ban them from the NCAA Tournament for 3 years. USC's probation will also be extended another 10 years. "They are already on probation. That's why we came down so hard on them. We only punish those that have a track record of breaking NCAA Rules." The NCAA is heard saying. When asked about Miami or Auburn, the NCAA states "Those schools were never found to break any rules, so we have to make sure the proper channels are followed if any action is taken against them. But so far, there has only been speculation, and the NCAA does not respond to speculation. We do not respond to media reports of supposed activity delivered by a journalist that has their own agenda of breaking news to boost their web counts." Asked about Biogennesis and the Miami "There have been no connection with Biogennesis and the University. Again, the NCAA does not respond to any media reports of supposed activity delivered by a jounalist that has their own agenda of breaking news to legitimize a newspaper. The proximity of this health organization and the U of Miami is irrelevent along with any connection of U of Miami former players using this facility. The NCAA tests athletes, and none of those players ever tested positive. NCAA attorneys lead by Shapiro have confirmed these tests." In addition, the NCAA stated "USC had their chance. Evidence was delivered on OJ Mayo and Reggie Bush by Yahoo Sports, and was thoroughly examined by the NCAA. Based on thorough interviews with all parties, the conclusion was that USC had broken NCAA rules. While we won't let anyone see the evidence, it was pretty damming, and no appeal is necessary. There will also be no appeal to this recent action we are taking against the basketball program as they are on probation. "

  3. So when do you think a conference will become so big they decide they don't need the NCAA anymore? Think about it. Pac 12 network, the Texas one, I think the Big 10 has one also. There will come a point where the $$ coming from these networks is much larger than anything the NCAA can offer. And satisfying these networks with the best programming will become more important than following arcaic NCAA rules. Especially the Pac 12. USC gets hammered, and if Miami and Auburn gets no penalty like they probably will. What good is the NCAA? Pac 12 already has the highest paid and most prestigious Bowl Game in it's pocket. Hoops tourney will be a hit to the pocketbook. But if they can offer more, and bring say the Big 10 or whatever they are called now with them. It would literally doom the NCAA. Because those two tv deals they have now could support an alliance.
  4. Nothing earthshattering. But it's still news I guess. The Walking Dead: Four Actors Promoted To Series Regulars For Season 4
  5. Vargas is going to be what he is. Just like Blanton was yesterday. It's our offense that has to get their heads out of their asses.
  6. Yup. In the high school tournaments, which is equivalent in Japan to the Final 4 and Superbowl combined, they work the pitchers to death. Unlike in the US, where even highschoolers and little leaguers transfer wherever, some of these Japanese High Schools only have one starting pitcher, which results in the huge workloads. This is why Japanese pitchers are usually damaged goods by the time they get even to their majors. I'm not sure if it is him. But there is one high schooler that is supposed to be Ruth like, that pitches well, and hits even better. Hopefully it's him, because I have a feeling his pitching career is done.

  8. I don't show him being drafted. Which seems odd for a high scoring college player.
  9. $25 million just doesn't buy what it used to.
  10. Well, the big $$$ up to bat that are paid to get Trout in.
  11. There we go Trout. Let's get him in now.
  12. Up to you bats. Nice inning by Burnett.
  13. Pfft. If it was a Helo Kitty Blanket I'd go to the game.
  14. Nice play Trumbo. Thought that was going to drop in.
  15. A trumbomb would be real nice right now.
