If we were going to be hosting opening round games, does that actually cost the school?

This is the first time that a country has won gold in Men's Hockey, Women's Hockey and Sled Hockey in the same Olympic Year!
As of yesterday, they said weather was expected to be pretty good (by Bearing Sea standards) over the next few days. Have not heard any updates since then.
Neither baseball or softball is having a particularly good weekend... did the players go on spring break with the rest of the student body this week?
Any weather report info for that area available?
I'm tired of being a coaching incubator school
I'm not a contract lawyer but I don't necessarily see how this would require schools to make players employees...
If a player is getting paid based on the unique value of their own image, then the more exposure they have on the playing field, the more intrinsic value they have.
The starting TE who averages 1.5 TD per game clearly has more value than the 3rd string TE who made 2 tackles on Special Teams this year--if the next year the 3rd string becomes the starter, their NIL then is logically increased.
I.E. Player X base NIL value is $100K. If you start at least 10 games, then it goes up $25K. If you score 10 TDs, then an additional $50K.
It's then up to Player X if they want to accept that offer or sign a "fully guaranteed" deal with some other school.
It seems logical, it's much more in the actual spirit of "NIL" and it actually works within the confines of the rest of the economic system where compensation is actually merit-based, rather than on how many "Stars" you had at 16 years old.
Why arent they getting extra money for every post season game they play? What idiot is writing these contacts. We've seen some places rein in the contacts but for the money being thrown around there is a lot of bad business being done.
I do wonder if - in this era - the NIT just isn't cost effective enough to justify competing.
I mean, anything can happen. One of Dallas Seavey's wins, Jeff King and Aliy Zirkle were in a 2 person race right at the end and a storm blew in. Jeff was knocked out of the race after needing outside help and Aliy holed up at the Safety Roadhouse to wait out the storm. Dallas was well behind in third but went through. He finished and had no idea Jeff had to drop out or that he passed Aliy.
But it does seem like the other teams are running out of time and distance to be able to catch Jessie based on what they/their team does. Soon it will be at the point where either Jessie/his team need to falter or mother nature needs to intervene.
Mars MattBoard and I made cast iron pizza pie yesterday to celebrate.
So its not over, but its over.
Oooooo 🤔
I just realized Dook won the ACC in football and both basketballs
Green olives are fantastic.
Black olives are an abomination unto the Lord
This also puts him closer to his daughter who plays basketball at Western Carolina
The problem is the schools and the NCAA will never agree to that, because if it does become pay for play then they will need collective bargaining. Which will include things like health insurance, safety protocols and employment contracts. It would benefit the players to become employees but the schools would have to pay a lot of extra money and see their profits dwindle substantially. The schools make up the NCAA and they would much rather deal with these minor inconveniences than pay out a shitload of money with a CBA and full time employees.
Lmao. Back from the dead just to say the same. Duke and UVA run this league! It just means more!
The Wahoos lose another conference championship to Duke
Given the era, I wonder if the paper was still using hot type typesetting with manual text alignment. The narrow column width makes it more difficult to evenly spread spacing to get right hand justification and at some point the typesetter just said "good enough, ship it".
Saturday evening, March 14 10:16 PM east coast/6:16 PM Alaska.
Jessie Holmes continues to lead and is the only musher to have gotten past Kaltag and off the Yukon. Analyst video notes that Jessie likes to stay at shelter cabins along the trail and avoid staying in the checkpoints. They suspect he may not stay in another checkpoint until reaching White Mountain, where they need to take a final 8-hour break. They mentioned that Paige and those after her are running out of time and remaining distance to catch Jessie unless he makes a mistake, has an issue with his team or a storm comes in along the coast that will stop him and allow others to catch up. Not over yet, but running out of time. Current standings:
1. Jessie Holmes running 13 dogs 638 miles in/337 to Nome
2. Paige Drobny running 13 dogs 615 miles in/360 to Nome
3. Mille Porsild running 15 dogs 591 mile in/384 to Nome
4. Travis Beals resting in Nulato with 15 dogs, 582 miles in/393 to Nome
5. Riley Dyche resting in Nulato with 15 dogs, 582 miles in/393 to Nome
6. Wade Marrs resting in Nulato with 12 dogs, 582 miles in/393 to Nome
7. Michelle Phillips resting in Nulato with 12 dogs, 582 miles in/393 to Nome
8. Matt Hall resting in Nulato with 12 dogs, 582 miles in/393 to Nome
9. Ryan Redington resting in Nulato with 12 dogs, 582 miles in/393 to Nome
10. Jeff Deeter resting in Nulato with 12 dogs, 582 miles in/393 to Nome
Red lantern position held by Grayson Bruton, running 11 dogs 491 miles in/484 to Nome
Lost 10-5
That is the eighth time in seventeen games the Hokies have allowed 10 or more runs this season.
I believe this loss also may have closed the Commonwealth Clash in Wahoo favor again.
To me, its pretty simple.....you have a base contract amount with incentives.
Let's just be honest, there is almost no compensation that is being made based on actual Name, Image, or Likeness. 99.7% of 18 year old Freshman have no NIL so lets stop pretending like they do. So why are we paying them multiple millions of dollars before they have even stepped on the field or court??
Before this basketball season, I could have been on a private jet with A.J. Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, and Caleb Wilson and wouldn't have known who anyone of them were.
Call it what it is, it's Pay For Play and you get paid for how much you play and what you achieve while playing.
Sunday, March 15 at ~1:10 PM east coast. Sorry for the delayed posting today.
Jessie Holmes continues to lead as is approaching the sea coast at Unalakleet. Interview with him noted what he plans to do:
"While in Galena, Jessie Holmes shared a bit of strategy with fans regarding his run along the coast. Jessie hopes to pass through both Unalakleet and Shaktoolik by camping at a little cabin in the Blue Berry Hills situated between the first two checkpoints on the coast." To set up the run/rest schedule to do this, he camped on the trail between Nulato and Kaltag as well as on the trail from Kaltag to Unalakleet.
Paige's team caught up to him while he was camping before Unalakleet. Jessie pulled out about 2 AM Alaska/6 AM east coast while Paige was resting her team. Meanwhile, Travis Beals' team charged up and into 3rd place. He stopped briefly where Paige was, and then they both started around 5 AM Alaska/9 AM east coast. They have been running close to each other since then. Not sure if they are purposely running together or just happen to be on the same schedule.
Standings at ~1:10 PM east coast are:
1. Jessie Holmes running 13 dogs 710 miles in/265 to Nome
2. Paige Drobny running 13 dogs 688 miles in/287 to Nome
3. Travis Beals running 14 dogs 688 miles in/287 to Nome
4. Riley Dyche running 15 dogs 665 miles in/310 to Nome
5. Mille Porsild running 15 dogs 662 miles in/313 to Nome
6. Wade Marrs running 11 dogs 658 miles in/317 to Nome
7. Jeff Deeter running 13 dogs 650 miles in/325 to Nome
8. Michelle Phillips running 11 dogs 645 miles in/330 to Nome
9. Matt Hall running 11 dogs 643 miles in/332 to Nome
10. Ryan Redington running 12 dogs 641 miles in/334 to Nome
Red lantern position is held by rookie Jody Potts-Joseph, running 11 dogs 525 miles in/450 to Nome
