Another chapter in "We've Lost Our Freakin' Minds": Episode #31045 NCAA allows athletes to gamble on pro sports

  • Hi Guest, we are working on updating the site servers and software. We're also 'forcing' everyone to read and agree to our site privacy policy and terms of service. There are no significant changes to either of these but the terms page does clarify a few things that are mostly in the legalese. You can just click the checkbox for both and continue using the site as usual! We'll update you more on the site upgrades VERY soon! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS for supporting the site and being an active participant!

Here's another great idea that the D1 Administrative Committee should implement: Ban all coaches in all sports which would save a ton of money and allow "student"-athletes to learn how to monitor themselves.
