NEW: Nick Saban on NIL and boosters causing more head coach firings in College Football: "The cause and effect of paying players is we’re raising money from alumni who now think they should have a say in what happens, and that’s why 33 coaches got fired last year."

PSA: Every exhibition game in college hoops should be televised or live streamed. Promote your program! Don't close it off to America when it's open to local spectators. "This all must end!" - Diane Keaton as Kay Corleone in The Godfather: Part II, circa 1974

Big East hires “Real Housewives” producer who suggests James Breeding officiate all UConn games for the 26/27 season ctinsider.com/sports/uconn-m…

Why did James Breeding get 11 UConn games? There’s a reason

James Breeding officiated 11 UConn games last season, including the national title game.

Maryland & Rutgers join the Big 10 for the TV money Virtually all their teams get worse… Rutgers is hemorrhaging cash while Maryland has lost money 4 out of the last 5 years Without billionaire donors these schools are cooked long term, ain’t no way they’ll ever compete

I do think Maryland and Rutgers would be better served uniting leaving the Big Ten and uniting with a group of ACC teams including Boston College and Syracuse in the near future.

My only addition is Rick Pitino should his own individual rivalry with UConn and I’d plug him into the A Tier

Since this has been a topic of conversation recently here’s my official UConn Men’s Basketball Rivalry S-Tier rankings It’s based on hatred, length of affiliation, and consequential games

I mean at this point just have the B1G and SEC break off. It’d be more fun for everyone else to not deal with their corrupt bullshit and maybe we can get back to regionalized conferences with historic rivalries that make sense.

AP voter Greg Luca had Miss State #18 and Pitt #23 last week. Miss State lost by 33 points to Alabama. Pitt beat 4-0 Virginia Tech on the road. You want to know where he has those two ranked in his ballot today? He moved 4-1 Miss State up to #10. He dropped 5-0 Pitt to unranked. Yes, he moved Miss State UP 8 SPOTS FOR LOSING BY 33 POINTS, and dropped Pitt OUT OF THE RANKINGS FOR BEATING AN UNDEFEATED TEAM ON THE ROAD.

Multiple factors, but here are the key reasons imo 1. Games between big programs just feel like two groups of mercenaries facing off. The teams don’t feel as tied to the fanbase or community as much anymore because guys are only there for like eight months. 2. Mercenary teams means sloppy football for the first month. And not in the fun Pac-12 way. 3. The broadcast feels like a vehicle that purely exists to get you sign up for a sportsbook. They have to dial it back. It’s too much. 4. The pregame shows don’t feel like they actually love the sport, but rather just love the conference that pays them more. 5. Vibes are off, generally.
