Could someone please explain where is the leverage to get a better deal. Who is going to pay more? Do we go on strike? Just asking.

The big 12 potentially splitting its rights into football and basketball may end up being a good thing for us because it'll highlight basketball as its own product.

(Fully agree that if there were competing bids, we would've considered them.)

Waiting For UConn To Make A Statement

This all comes down to Brett Yormark's belief that basketball media deals are under-valued and that having UConn will give them a major piece to sell.

IMO, this is the main reason why I thought the value of the new BE media rights deal was disappointing. Compared to the original deal it didn't go up enough considering UConn's addition and back to back titles.

The B12 flirtation comes down to Brett Yormark's belief that basketball media deals are under-valued and that having UConn will give them a major piece to sell. He wouldn't risk watering down football and dividing profits up further if he didn't feel strongly that he could get a much higher media deal than the BE got with UConn.

Oh you know everyone's intentions. Great. Even the most liberal outlets talk about the Minnesota Freedom Fund bailing out Jaleel Stallings who was charged with attempted murder, plus they bailed out a woman accused of killing a friend and also a convicted rapist.

Stallings was acquitted at trial and an Army vet. The other two were not bailed out for rape and murder but after they were bailed out, they committed the crimes.

Fact Check: Did Kamala Harris Back Bail Fund For "Murderers And Rapists"?

The Vice President has denied "misinformation" surrounding her support of the Minnesota Freedom Fund

Old friend - So true about being worse than the score. The Huskies have no speed in skill positions. Looks like they run in quicksand. The quarterback play is awful. Can't throw out patterns with any zip. I'm afraid it is going to be another long season for the Huskies. In fact, I would be a tad worried about Merrimack this week. They played Air Force really tough out in the altitude. Wonder if any of the Big 12 commissioners tuned in. Brett Yormark has a tougher sell after seeing the "promised" improvement.

It was an ugly showing. That said, wide receiver Skyler Bell was able to get separation and break away for chunk plays. It's promising.

Agree that a loss or a close game to Merrimack would be a bad thing. Probably too soon too cancel the season based upon one game though.

Are you really doing these false equivalencies? The bail fund was for misdemeanor offenses. I am not saying that was the smartest thing for Harris to have done but the intention was not for serious crimes like arson, burglary aggravated assaults. Moreover, bail funds get you out of jail pending of trial. Not to absolve you of a crime.

Unlike Jan 6 convicts who not only committed felonies and were convicted of crimes like assaulting police, they tried to overthrow the rightfully elected President. Pardons are to wipe away a conviction. One thing does not equal another.

Maryland is our most difficult game of the season. Hopefully we can improve on that showing.

He promises to pardon, while the other encouraged American to bail out rioters who destroyed tons of property. Great choice. It's ok to destroy your cities, you're a hero we will help you. Destroy where I work you're a criminal and shouldn't be bailed out or pardoned.

And after January 6 how did they stop people from entering the Capitol illegally....they put up a large fence after telling us for months walls are inhumane. You can't make this stuff up.
