No doubt, Jimbo Fisher getting 75 million dollars for being fired, is nuts!

Congress will have to get it done. The spineless dweebs at the NCAA will

The "spineless NCAA" is the symptom

Stech • 12/27/24 09:11 PM ET
The high was grossly inflated. **
IB4TECH • 12/28/24 07:42 PM ET
That's because there weren't laws in place to prevent a crash.
YBYSAIAHokie • 12/28/24 02:36 PM ET
Correct on Stock Market, but we don’t have those laws or checks & balances
Stech • 12/28/24 02:56 PM ET
Good points. NCAA has a lot of work to do to put those checks & balances
