I don't know what it was about the timing or marketing or what but I'm super casual about soccer and found myself watching from the group stage and made a point to catch nearly every game of the knockout rounds and really enjoyed it.

After the first articles I was wondering, just what exactly is the scam on the coach's end and how could he intend to actually get away with any money or connections to a real job or anything -- I feel like even if there's theoretically some money involved you probably can't successfully get any real amount out of say the ESPN game into your pocket with an operation this shoddy, they're just not going to cut you the check before figuring it out and if they did they would come after you to get it back -- so

quote:

What were the financial particulars for being involved with Bishop Sycamore?

“They told us it was $1,000, because Judah was going to live at home and that was it. So I paid the $1,000 and that was the only thing we were ever charged officially. They were supposed to pay for the camp, they said we have sponsors that are paying for everything. We’ll pay for the hotels, the entry fees, we’ll take care of all that because we are doing that for all the kids. As long as you are doing it for all the kids… I didn’t want to get into that where he got something that someone else didn’t get because that could affect his eligibility. I was like ‘As long as everybody else is getting it, and the school is paying for it, I guess that’s fine.’ But no, I ended up paying for all our hotel rooms, we paid for all of our entrance into the camps.”
yeah he was just going straight into the parent/kids' pockets.

Obviously they wouldn't be playing on a Friday but curious if the media contracts for, say, the SEC actually forbid that from ever happening or if the language is the same and it's simply understood that they would never want to do it or even schedule their programming in a way that would raise the question.

I lost the Bally nee Fox Sports channels that carry the Braves (and the Pelicans, who I have theoretically been trying to get into for a few years but mostly those like 30 games where Zion attempted to play basketball) right before baseball season and got by with a shared MLB.tv account and Unlocator to get around the blackout, was super simple on the PS4/5.

You got the Birmingham Squadron GLeague team now and those games are all streamed for free! Hayes, Murphy, and Alverdao will all be playing for them again tonight.
That's a good suggestion, I should make a point to catch more of that. Forgot Jared Harper was still with them too, love that guy.

There's also a long-standing unspoken agreement that the NFL doesn't schedule games on Fridays so as to not take away eyeballs from high school football.
I know I've heard that and I suppose it could have originated as basically the true story at a time when the NFL wasn't the cultural juggernaut it is now but that taboo can't possibly be holding them back in 2022, right? Like Roger Goodell is not barring the doors shouting about the sanctity of small-town tradition while NBC and Fox try to fling sacks of cash inside, it's just not worth putting games on Fridays for other reasons and they're happy to let everyone think it's a noble sacrifice?

Yeah I'm sure there's a lot of obstacles in the way (seems hard to launch without every last team under control) but, isn't that the logical endpoint of the leagues themselves bringing those rights back in-house?
