  1. At least the ones who weren't sexually assaulted on his watch.
  2. Having placed "winning hockey games" over addressing major felonious criminal behavior, and at minimum, being willing to allow his name to be placed on a recommendation that helped a sexual predator find other victims, he literally can never be trusted in a leadership position again. He needs to go.
  3. Thinking this is posturing to get Davis cut off (who reading between the lines from everything today probably is having his cash flow problems resurface) and to either force the Chargers out or into paying more than a nominal rent to the Rams for sharing Sofi. Honestly, in light of this, I'd be annoyed too. https://www.ksdk.com/article/sports/st-louis-trial-nfl-rams-owners-fined/63-68d4936f-fdf5-4573-afce-77b8fc88de1d
  4. This is institutional, not athletics related per se. Which is the real reason why they won't get offered a home at the FBS level because nobody wants to associate with this in non-athletic settings.
  5. Here's the thing, WAC may be FCS now, but there is no guarantee it wouldn't eventually be able to make the jump to FBS if the Texas adds are allowed to grow that way. Current WAC is fine for Olympic sports, so they aren't just gonna bail. Largest TAMU campus not in College Station, plans to make massive physical investments in athletics. Not a terrible add considering.
  6. Tarleton's already good enough to beat an FBS team.
  7. NMSU would INSIST on being a full member; they've done the separate leagues in football and Olympic Sports dance and it didn't end well for them.
  8. The Montanas had an offer from the WAC a decade ago and noped out of it, can't think things have changed that much.
  9. Jeff, just go away please. https://sports.yahoo.com/jeff-fisher-fires-back-jon-gruden-roger-goodell-draft-michael-sam-nfl-032622502.html https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2016/03/23/michael-sam-rams-hard-knocks/
  10. Gonna go back in the archives, but I'm pretty sure I advocated replacing him with a repurposed Teddy Ruxpin doll on multiple occasions back during the Rams days.
  11. We'll have to see how things shake out post-pandemic, but I was under the impression that the arena didn't want either basketball or hockey because they felt they would sponge up valuable dates that could go to lucrative concerts/events.
  12. Shades of Kansas City in the late 70s/early 80s. As a reminder, that didn't end well for everyone; my money is that even if the As move to Vegas, they are going to be relocating again in a couple of decades at the latest.
  13. They have a new stadium. They also live in a postapocalyptic hellscape hundreds of miles from the next closest FCS school. (New stadium has more amenities but a lot smaller capacity.)
  14. Belmont to the Missouri Valley, Murray State glancing at the exit. Future OVC member Western Illinois depicted below https://tenor.com/view/troy-community-pizza-fire-childish-gambino-gif-5638752
  15. Big West nowadays (which is where Hawaii has basketball/Olympic sports) is all California schools aside from Hawaii. That's about as good a travel situation as you can get in a league with Hawaii.
  16. The MWC explicitly abandoned UTEP in the WAC despite UTEP being a charter WAC member.
  17. Boise State is rather unhappy in the Mountain West, though.
  18. Because this pretends Alabama, which has flippin' hotel fountains in the locker room, and New Mexico State, which, um, needs to install central air in its locker room in the middle of the desert, are on the same footing. https://www.lcsun-news.com/story/sports/college/nmsu/2021/09/15/new-mexico-state-ad-addresses-football-locker-room-cooling-complaints/8352021002/
  19. Because changing the letterhead and brand is a pain in the ass.
  20. Alabama Board of Trustees would NEVER OK UAB going to a better league than C-USA.
  21. In fairness to the Penguins, the old Igloo was really in bad shape by that point.
  22. An MLB team in Albuquerque would be excellent black comedy. I'm for it. We need a Seattle Pilots of the 21st Century.
