Oh man. Don't do this. If they elect to move up to Division I, they'll put a massive amount of fees on their student body for decades. Kentucky State's enrollment is under 1,800 undergrad and not even 2,100 total. While, that's not Presbyterian small, they have retention level at 68% for Freshmen, but they have issues getting students to enroll period. Partnering with area school districts for Dual Enrollment is the reason they are where they are now. In fact, in the last week, they announced that out of state tuition will be reduced to those from eight neighboring states plus Michigan.

NHL Anti-Thread: Bad Business Decision Aggregator
dfwabel replied to The_Admiral's topic in Sports In General
His Hawks bid in 2011 was his third attempt to buy a sports franchise. He is an owner of a few casinos too, but the Culinary Union had issues with him last year over his purchase of the SLS Casino in Las Vegas. -

https://awfulannouncing.com/fox/deleted-clip-fox-nick-wright-steph-curry-2015-nba-finals-mvp-voting.htmlI guess FS1's "First Things First" needs any attention they can cultivate. Whoever’s running the Twitter account for FS1 morning show First Things First probably should research the Streisand effect, where “an attempt to hide, remove, or censor a piece of information has the unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely, usually facilitated by the Internet.” That came into play Tuesday, where the First Things First account tweeted a clip from that morning’s show featuring co-host Nick Wright’s claim that Steph Curry was “as close as a player has come to winning Finals MVP ever, without winning it” in 2015. Wright’s claim in that clip is that the initial 11 votes were split: four for Andre Iguodala (who actually won), four for LeBron James and three for Curry. He then claims that a revote led to Iguodala’s win. Well, NBA senior vice president (communications) Tim Frank called that out in strong terms, saying “This absolutely never happened.” And the FTF account then deleted their clip.

You know who watches "Good Morning Football"? Players, coaches, and those who think they'll be drafted do. NFL also doesn't own that show. Men In Blazers/Embassy Row's Michael Davies does.

I'm part of the older generation which Chet Coppock was a very big deal, even w/o his WWF stint, especially SportsChannel America and NewSport/Talk. "Hi ho, here we go!" https://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/chet-coppock-dead-chicago-sports-broadcaster/ RIP, Mr. Chet.

Foot traffic = potential sales tax dollars. 81 baseball games aren't good enough as the cost of venues continues to grow faster than GDP. Hell, colleges/universities are getting into the PPP (public/private partnership) real estate business in the last decade.

ESPN gets more Big XII programming for ESPN+ in addition to three years of the Big XII football title game.

DAZN to double their monthly US price to $19.99 for new subscribers, but will also add an annual pass for $99.99. Gotta pay for those contracts given to Canelo and GGG somehow.

Pac-12 still holding out.

Count The Dings (f/k/a ESPN's True Hoop podcast) is going behind The Athletic's paywall. I don't think I've listened to them since mid-December since it just isn't as good as it was with ESPN's backing. I guess this is more stability for Jade, but I am shocked that 1300 folks donated on Patreon just to hear Big Woz complain and Trey act like he's an insider.

I know that DirecTV had the 4K option, but as for other satellite and cable operators, IDK. As for the bolded point, that's something I'd visit Sherdog for to find out.

$54.99 for those who still had SD. $64.99 was the going rate for the last PPV on HD cable and $10 more for the 4K feed. They and DirecTV couldn't come to an agreement in February as UFC wanted a 70/30 split of the PPV price, as opposed to the traditional 50/50. The ESPN+ cost will be $59.99

From the release... That pricing is determined by square footage and/or Fire Code occupancy.

Starting with UFC 236 on April 13, UFC PPVs will stream on ESPN+ as opposed to the traditional cable/satellite PPV model in the US.

LeBron in the Western Conference impacts the numbers, in addition to the NBA backloads the marquee games after the NFL playoffs.

You just gave me a listen to for tonight. I doubt Spike has any regard for Simmons at all.
