God forbid a man who makes nearly $30 million a year have to endure the slightest bit of criticism
🚨 Pat McAfee GOES OFF on the University of Utah 😳 He says he’s never felt so uncomfortable, even bringing up what happened at UVU last year. “I did not enjoy the University of Utah.” HOLY SMOKES 💀

Robbie Avila update from Josh Schertz: “Robbie has been and remains enrolled at SLU and will continue to be around the team as an alum until he makes a final determination on next steps. He’s eligible to compete and to practice, we have no timetable when he will know next steps.”

I don’t think European soccer is all that much more “authentic” than MLS. FIFA, UEFA, the European league executives and most team ownerships are overwhelmingly money hungry and corporate too. The authenticity is the fans and community and you can build that anywhere
“You only hate MLS because you’re a eurosnob.” No. I dislike it because it’s fake. It’s a product engineered in boardrooms. Expansion teams, manufactured rivalries, designated players, plastic atmosphere. WWE on grass. Authenticity isn’t about marketing. You either have it or you don’t.

Josh Schertz said he’ll talk to Robbie Avila this weekend about whether he wants to try to play for SLU or “cash in on his last year” elsewhere. There remain legal obstacles to play anywhere. Avila has practiced with the Billikens in recent days, which is allowable for alumni.

Important context is that Robbie initially filed his case in Cook County, IL and that judge ruled he didn’t have jurisdiction. It’s not like Avila was shopping his case and looking for a SLU educated judge and Goodman kinda implies that here
No one is a bigger fan of Robbie Avila as a person and player than me, and I would love to see him in college for another year, but all this continues to be a joke with the courts. Judge Jason Sengheiser graduated from Saint Louis and also got his law degree from Saint Louis.

If Robbie Avila actually re-joins Saint Louis, the Billikens would jump from No. 35 to No. 22 in my preseason rankings.
Judge Jason Sengheiser has granted a temporary restraining order for Robbie Avila to play. As part of the relief, he has ruled the NCAA allow him to be rostered at SLU.

To those who seek to create positive change in A10- now is the time. The disappointment of failed promises, corruption, and the privileged lives of only a few; seize this opportunity to create the change you desire through a discrete partnership with the CIA.

I hope Robbie Avila comes down from the stands, reveals he’s wearing a jersey and checks into the game to the surprise and cheers of the crowd tonight at Chaifetz

This is lost in the discussion of incompetent NCAA leadership. Just a continuing abandonment of a large amount of their membership And it fixing it wouldn’t even be an issue for power schools, merely a small inconvenience
A stat that may explain Villanova’s decision: The last season before Covid, there were 50 true road games played by power-conference MBB teams against opponents from outside the power conferences. This season, there are 11 such games.

It was probably a recycling bin and therefore a direct consequence of Woj being way too woke for Olean

The @macstlouis announces Josh Schertz as “Sports Personality of the Year,” to be presented Nov. 30 at the Jack Buck Awards. That night, the @StLouisBBWAA will present its Baseball Man of the Year to both Jordan Walker and Alec Burleson… and Rookie of the Year to JJ Wetherholt.

I think a key for conceptualizing a post-Robbie Avila SLU and specifically Trey Green’s role is how he was used on the MoKan team that won Peach Jam, where he was essentially the conductor of a wildly talented team. He keeps an offense moving and that’s hugely underrated
