Date Title Body
1 week 6 days ago The point is that

they don't have to sign a NLI to get a scholarship.  

3 weeks 4 days ago That Brian Phillips CL Preview

is beyond amazing.  Everyone should read.  

4 weeks 1 day ago Really?

John Beilein has it for basketball.  

4 weeks 1 day ago All of the QBs you mention

have one thing in common: they're not pro-style QBs.  The Elite 11 is probably a pretty terrible judge of dual-threat QBs, but Speight's a pure pro-style guy, and there's no particular reason to think Dilfer's evaluation is way off, especially when it's backed up by most of the rankings.  Honestly, a lot of the complaints about Dilfer seem to boil down to nothing more than the fact that he didn't love a guy committed to Michigan (even though he didn't overly bash him either).  

10 weeks 3 days ago It was a block

but gets called a charge more than half the time.  

10 weeks 6 days ago The "benefit of the doubt" point

is where we disagree.  I have too much faith in the power of variance to think that two hires says much about anything.  You're ascribing the success of the hires to VCU's institutional advantages or Teague's process.  I think an equally valid explanation is "random luck."  

I hope the hire works out for Minnesota, since I like their program and their fans.  But from here, it looks like a super-risky move.  

10 weeks 6 days ago Even if you're not throwing darts

the level of uncertainty in hiring a young, generally unproven guy is much higher than in hiring someone with a track record.  Maybe he's got unique insights, maybe he doesn't.  But two hires isn't a basis to draw a real conclusion.  

10 weeks 6 days ago The list of young coaches

with no real track record who became as good as Shaka Smart is much shorter than the list of young coaches with no real track record who did not.  

10 weeks 6 days ago I'm sorry

but "two" is not a sample size that is worth betting on.  It's just not.  

11 weeks 1 day ago People might be reading

just a tad too much into two NCAA tournament games.  Historically, hiring coaches based on one Sweet 16 run has not been a successful strategy.  

12 weeks 6 days ago Noel, Poythress, Goodwin, and Cauley-Stein

are all projected first rounders, and Calipari usually advises players to leave if they'll be taken high.  

13 weeks 13 hours ago Yeah

There's basically no dispute that female participation in athletics at all levels went through the roof after the passage of Title IX.  

13 weeks 15 hours ago Ok, well I have an answer to yours

We care about female athletes having equal access to athletics because, before Title IX, they were systematically shut out and discriminated against.  Now what's the answer to mine?  

13 weeks 15 hours ago No

the question is "does the state have an overriding interest in addressing pervasive sex discrimination?"  Title IX is not limited to college sports.  And I don't get your point.  I don't have an objection to "philosophical questions."  I just want a good answer to mine.  Why do we care if Denard gets paid more than Joey Burzynsky?  

13 weeks 15 hours ago Title IX

addresses pervasive sex discrimination, a consideration that's completely absent when talking about whether players on the same team should get equal pay.  What's the overriding state interest in ensuring that Denard and Joey Burzynsky get paid the same?  

13 weeks 15 hours ago I meant philosophically

And the last thing I'd want to do is dump Title IX. 

13 weeks 16 hours ago There are two big assumptions here

1. that the people being hired are capable.

2. that the salaries being paid are "market" in the sense that capable people wouldn't work for less.

I'm not definitively saying either assumption is false, but you're definitely assuming they're true without showing your work.  

13 weeks 16 hours ago Serious question

What's wrong with Denard getting paid more than Burzynsky?  

13 weeks 1 day ago If you're looking for excuses

to knock one off of MSU's list, Dwaun Anderson never made it to campus at MSU.  

14 weeks 13 hours ago The last time

rape accusations were discussed here, there were several rape jokes.  And a number of people uprating those jokes.  

14 weeks 13 hours ago Let's hope two things

1. It isn't true

2. if it is true, the perpetrators are brought to justice and the victim gets the best counseling/treatment available.

14 weeks 5 days ago Our band

could be your life.  

16 weeks 1 day ago I'm pretty sure

Dakich's power rankings are literally "who has been playing the best in the past week," which is why he frequently has screwy things like Illinois over Michigan.  Obviously, that's dumb for entirely different reasons, but would explain why he doesn't care that Illinois got crushed by Michigan at home earlier in the year.  

16 weeks 1 day ago Really?

I've heard lots of people saying February would have gone differently for Michigan if Morgan had been healthy.  

16 weeks 1 day ago Durand Scott was out

for Florida Gulf Coast, and Reggie Johnson was out for Arizona and Indiana State.  The Wake loss was obviously bad.  

16 weeks 1 day ago More likely

a game to determine whether Indiana gets the title outright or shares it.  And even that requires them losing to Minnesota.  

16 weeks 1 day ago Win out and there's no real conversation

Michigan will be a #1 seed.  

17 weeks 4 days ago We have wins over 3 of Kenpom's top 15

despite only getting 1 highly-ranked team at home so far.  

17 weeks 4 days ago RPI is dumb

news at 11.  Kenpom has our SOS at 8.

17 weeks 5 days ago I'm not saying it's a dumb change

just that it doesn't seem like a minor one.
