Disappointing…extremely rare to see the Red Rocks lose the overall lead with just one rotation to go.

Exactly. If you were to look at how much the cost of a college education has risen over the decades, it goes right in line with the amounts borrowed by students. It’s simple economics…when there’s a lot of “free” money being bandied about, well that’s a surefire recipe for inflation. Now, combine that with people going to school for degrees…[Read more]

Thanks for the information…I didn’t think that Utah was providing so much assistance but it’s shocking to see the costs that other schools are bearing.

The difference is that Duke is a basketball blue blood and will easily replace those transfers with players as good or better. Utah doesn’t have that luxury and just lost its best player with any eligibility remaining. I don’t personally feel too bad about Smith’s departure since I never got attached to him but he will be missed.

College sports is turning into such a sick joke…this will be Smith’s fourth school in five years. I don’t have a problem with athletes transferring like any other student can but what “student” trying to get any degree goes to four name universities in five years? As in all things, when the guardrails are taken off, the extremes gain the…[Read more]

I’m not disagreeing with you on the method but just pointing out the fact that the program isn’t truly self funding and students have zero recourse to opt out on those student fees. Think about it…you could be a 45 year old doctoral student from Madagascar and still have to pay fees supporting sports you don’t follow or even understand. All…[Read more]

But this line is, and always be, problematic: “once again ended with a surplus when campus support is included in the bottom line.” That means that it ended in the “black” through the use of tuition and mandatory activity fee dollars generated from all students. In fact, from research I’ve done, only 1.4 percent of all intercollegiate athletic…[Read more]

Yeah, that’s what it took to get Meruelo to sell the team. One of longest, closest childhood friends from Miami lives in LA and runs all of Meruelo’s media holdings and he told me that Meruelo was losing his ass on the Coyotes since he bought them.

I haven’t heard her say that. What does your husband say?

Better Smith than a guy like Meruelo…

Wow, that’s incredible…it’ll be a total sellout considering that the arena will be reconfigured for hockey.

Obviously not Damien Martinez.

If he were to go, we’d be the last to know. I’m assuming if he’s working on a contract with BYU, you’d have some insider information. Maybe there’s nothing going on.

I like it…the team motto “Fuck Around and Find Out!”

LOL…how about the most obvious, but overlooked, nickname…the Utah Lakers? Another one…Utah Spikes…due to the meeting place of the Trans-Continental Railroad.

The Blues refers to music. That’s why they have a musical note as their logo. But, the best name for any sports team belong to the club sports at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). RISD’s club hockey’s team nickname is the “Nads”. It’s even better to know that the school’s club basketball team is known as the Balls. And then the mascot.…[Read more]

Most other NHL teams have Flex Plans starting at 10 games and up. I’m going to wait until it gets closer to the season and see if something like that becomes available. If not, I guess I’ll just cherry pick certain games on the secondary market.
