I liked what I saw from the Gophers last night. I look forward to them using their non-conference schedule to gradually build up my confidence in them before crushing my hopes and dreams in spectacular Minnesota fashion by the middle of the conference schedule.

I still can�t tell if Pitino was just having his guys go easy and let it get too close or he just did not know how to coach against three players.

He mentioned in a post game interview that he had no idea what to tell them to do lol

I literally cannot comprehend how something like this would happen.

sounds like the Gophers were taking a lot of bad shots, they literally didn't know how to run an offense against three and kept taking mid-range twos

Outside the Lines on Louisville's athletic department, and how it grew over the last 20 years.

This is incredible

quote:

Out of 125 FBS schools required to report financial data to the U.S. Department of Education, Louisville is the only one that derives more than half of its men's sports revenue from basketball, says Jonathan Jensen, a sports marketing professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Much of that revenue comes from a $238 million taxpayer-funded arena, the KFC Yum Center, which opened downtown in 2010 and has become a heavy burden on taxpayers. The lease was negotiated by Jurich and the arena authority. Under the terms, taxpayer contributions make up 75 percent of the arena's operating income while Louisville gets to keep most of the revenue -- an arrangement that "blew our mind," says state auditor Mike Harmon, whose office examined the arena's finances. "It was like, 'This is ridiculous.' It's like co-signing the loan for a friend's home and then having to pay three-fourths of the mortgage."

Denis Frankenberger, a local businessman who has dissected the lease in minute detail, calls it "the biggest taxpayer scandal in the history of Louisville."

In the arena's first year, men's basketball revenue jumped 58 percent, from $25.9 million to $40.9 million, a trend that continued as the program became the richest in the country. Under the lease, Louisville keeps 88 percent of premium seat licensing, 97 percent of suite sales, all program revenue and half of concessions.

Unfortunately that quoted section is incorrect. The U.S. Department of Education data is notorious for being inaccurate because it doesn't break out subsidies for revenue. It's an accurate reflection of how dollars are spend, but is completely useless for the revenue equation. They don't care about that, the only purpose of the tool is to for Title IX compliance, and I hate it when journalists that instead of subpoenaing the NCAA revenue and expense reports that each program is required to file. Those actually give an accurate breakdown of the subsidy.

USA Today notably does this every year, although I don't think the post each specific program's report. Definitely individual newspapers often do this for their local teams.

I was mainly referring to the bits about the arena, or are those also inaccurate?

N: https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/report-minnesotas-reggie-lynch-found-responsible-in-sexual-misconduct-incident/

quote:

Minnesota center Reggie Lynch is facing a ban from campus until at least 2020 after an investigation conducted by the school found him responsible in a sexual misconduct incident, according to the Star Tribune.

The paper reported that Minnesota's Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action (EOAA) office began investigating Lynch last fall after a woman filed a complaint saying he assaulted her in his dorm room in April 2016. His suspension will begin Tuesday unless he appeals, according to the Star Tribune. Lynch can request a hearing with the Student Sexual Misconduct Subcommittee and remain on campus, if he wants. But, even then, it's doubtful he would continue to play for the Golden Gophers under these circumstances considering this has gone public and is at least the second time Lynch has been accused of sexual misconduct.

Lynch is averaging 10.1 points and 8.0 rebounds. The 6-10 forward is the reigning Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year. He finished with 11 points and 12 rebounds in Wednesday's 77-67 win over Illinois.

In case anyone thought Reggie Lynch would play again someone else came forward today so now that's three alleged sexual assaults on him.

80% of my family are Purdue people, and Purdue fans just have this near constant doom meter around them.

It's usually pretty accurate, but it tends to go haywire when there's a Purdue game in the Barn.

If the Gophers were at even like 75% I could understand it, but I think every good player on this team is either injured or suspended at this point.

Wasn't Minnesota like top 20 at the start of the season?

I may be and probably am completely mis-remembering this.

EDIT: Just checked myself and they were... glad I'm not going insane.

As blackmongoose implied, that is not the team that Penn State lost to last weekend.

How much does something like that even cost?

A small geolocation filter for 2-3 hours is roughly $15

source: I process payments for poo poo like that constantly for our marketing department at the U of MN

e: I looked one up, on Saturday we have a filter that activates when in the student union from 11am-2pm, cost was $13.38

There's a press conference going on by Reggie Lynch right now and the tl;dr is that he's denying all allegations but doesn't feel the appeals process will be fair to him so he's forgoing it, meaning that he's now expelled from the University of Minnesota.

"Because status as an employee for purposes of the FLSA depends on the totality of circumstances rather than on any technical label, courts must examine the economic reality of the working relatinship to decide whether Congress intended the FLSA to apply to that particular relationship"

Well if he had put it in the article it wouldn't have helped the racial narrative would it? Search for...

What the NCAA did in response to the lawsuit is as vile as anything going on in sports right now.

Which links to the NCAA's motion to dismiss filing, which contains the actual information.

You asked if anyone read past the headline. I read the entire article. I didn't realize that reading past the headline meant I had to go to google and find more articles.

I especially don't feel the need to google for something that exonerates the company that makes billions off of exploiting teenagers/young adults.

Wasn't really saying that towards you, just admitting that I hadn't read everything linked into the article.

And I still dont get it... sounds like the court ruled because of reasons and the reasons were because the court says so.

I was using your quote to respond to fruit stripe, sorry. I agree with you.
