@heitner If the judge agrees how does that work with 5 for 5 on the horizon?

@OverdueSports You can’t reward a team for dodging competition. Compare how Troy did their schedule vs Mercer and it starts to make sense.

@GiantHotTakes Ashamed? Seriously, get a life.

Separate basketball which is the only sport where players can make big money from college with zero NBA interest or prospects. The rest of the athletes should be grandfathered. These athletes followed the rules and were jobbed by COVID. They didn’t game waivers or strategically redshirt.
They played by the rules which are not uniform with other sports like football. For example in baseball you can pinch run one time and lose your redshirt.

@Nationals True cellar dweller mentality. Maybe buck up for some guys that hit 3 run homers and see if you can climb the ladder in the standings.

[Catchfire Baseball @catchfirebsbl]

@DTGotera The pitch count rules in the hands of people that don’t understand baseball have hurt more arms than they have helped.

Money is all that matters to any of these people. I agree gambling is driving popularity, but until revenues start to dip - the position by those spending the money on NIL is always gonna be driven by top line money. Eventually colleges will prioritize profitability but that is gonna be a while. The next thing that will start happening is states will start contributing to NIL because of perceived economic impact to the state to close some of the losses for colleges.

@waffleguy323 @Ecnerwal23 I prefer pre NIL sports too but I think it’s a stretch to say it’s clearly turning fans off. Top line revenues keep going up.

That number is no doubt fudged like most things in today’s society. The NCAA’s required documentation and committee reviews for waivers are a joke. They require so many hoops to be stepped through and a compliance dept that is willing to push and work for it (which a lot won’t). There’s a lot more gray area than what that 75 percent would have you believe.

@MaacTheft Ever play college sports at a high level in today’s super conferences flying coast to coast and try to get your degree at the same time? For most, it takes 5 years.

[Catchfire Baseball @catchfirebsbl]

@_CATNERD2 @AthleteDefender Ever pull together documentation for a waiver claim? No way it’s 75 percent.

@DanClarkSports 22 ABs. Anyone replying negatively to this stupid post doesn’t know jack about baseball.

[Catchfire Baseball @catchfirebsbl]

@Only_Hunter_0 Sure ya did

[Catchfire Baseball @catchfirebsbl]

@AZPhilliesFan @4thandsaturday 50 mph and no movement allows 10 year olds to take a hack at everything. But once you step into an MLB box and the closer is high 90s with elite movement on 1-2 shapes - you don’t have that option. Why do you think pro hitters stare at strike 3 down the middle sometimes?

[Catchfire Baseball @catchfirebsbl]

@vdlafayette @11point7 What is the percentage he gets thrown out at home? Coin flip? It was a perfect throw, perfect tag and it was somewhat close.

[Catchfire Baseball @catchfirebsbl]

@mjscholten @Hassel_Chris The familiar story is the Monday morning QB criticizing a college kid who has been a standout teammate and has continued to work hard despite things not going his way this season.

[Catchfire Baseball @catchfirebsbl]

@mas76013 @jeffborzello Blue blood team should be good for 4-6 pts from the refs. 6-8 at home. Sorry, but it’s brutal to watch. If you are a Purdue homer you don’t understand how bad it is.

[Catchfire Baseball @catchfirebsbl]

@Hassel_Chris It’s the reason college basketball sucks. The refs are straight up incompetent or worse biased.
