Is Nike really the best apparel option going forward?
I don't know how many of you are following what is going on with the MLB uniforms this year, but Nike (and Fanatics) is making an absolute mess of their on field uniforms to the point where the MLBPA is getting involved.
Basically, they've dramatically cut quality, they've eliminated the stitched on numbers and logos and going with heat pressed sublimated elements. All jerseys have the same nameplate template. They've basically cheaped out on the whole thing.
And the worst part is that while they've slashed the quality of the product, they've actually raised prices on the merchandise. And it's becoming a big black eye on baseball to start the season.

Washington NFL hiring Darryl Tapp as defensive line coach.
And another 49ers assistant coach is headed to Washington. San Francisco's assistant defensive line coach Darryl Tapp โ who played defensive end and linebacker in Washington in 2013 during his 12 NFL seasons โ is taking over as the Commanders defensive line coach, per sources. https://t.co/1dNCvMz44kโ Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) February 14, 2024
Still remember the day I listened to Darryl talking to Bud and asking him about any connections he had to break into the coaching world after retiring.

FSU Seeking Outside PE Investment
"Project Osceola" aka "The Death of College Athletics"
I might be a bit dramatic with my title, but I can't see how this does anything other than accelerate CFBs demise from what it was into the wasteland of NFL-lite.
Private Equity usually kills whatever it touches in the mad dash for profit and I don't see how that wouldn't happen with college football. Seems like a short term gain for long term consequences.

VT first in the nation in Bill C's Returning ProductionRatings
For a few years now, I've been attempting to expand how we measure returning production. The formula I have created shifts with each new year of data and has had to shift a ton with the rising number of transfers. But the gist remains the same: High or low returning production percentages correlate well with improvement and regression. They might not guarantee a good or bad team, but they can still tell us a lot.
VT is first overall, first in offensive talent, and 12th in defensive talent.

Today, we'll take a look at every transfer's 2023 ranking before the season, re-grade them based on their statistics, and compare each Virginia Tech transfer to their counterparts in the portal.
