It's not just trucks that are expensive. Sedans are up 50% too.
Mechanics aren't cheap either. But they are cheaper than a new car. The best thing you could have done is bought in 2020, but you can't go back in time....

re: NCAA - No rules on NIL
Posted by NukemVol on 2/5/24 at 6:03 pm
The flight wasn't free. Delta didn't let him ride just because. It was paid for by Spyre, his NIL. And the NCAA can't tell NILs what they can do. Putting any rule restricting them or a team from hosting one of their clients is a restriction....
re: SEC and BIG are creating a joint advisory board to discuss college sports problems
Posted by NukemVol on 2/2/24 at 12:32 pm
As long as it is universities or an association of universities making the rules in compensation, it will be an antitrust violation. You either have to have no rules in compensation, every program for itself decides the athletes market value via individual negotiation. Or the athletes need to collec...
re: Albert Belle on Mike Trout HOF talk: "I played 12 yrs & my stats are better than his"
Posted by NukemVol on 2/2/24 at 7:55 am
Im fine saying Trout is a HOFer, but it's often said he's the best player if his generation. I can't say that about a guy who regularly takes off each Summer with various injuries. The guy doesn't care about winning....

Errr... what?
Forde grew up in Colorado, lives in Louisville and went to school at Northwestern before transferring and graduating from Mizzou. He's got zero ties to UGA.
He dislikes Auburn (particularly Bruce Pearl), but he's not a UGA supporter. Not sure where you got that, but it's...

Posted by NukemVol on 1/31/24 at 4:46 pm
In my opinion it doesn't matter if a rule was broken. All NIL rules via NCAA are anti-trust violations as they would naturally prohibit NIL activity. Brett Kavanaugh said as much. Most people see it. You can frame as a Tennessee violation, but if NIL is anywhere in the argument, it's a loser....

re: Honest Take: NCAA is simply engaging in selective enforcement.
Posted by NukemVol on 1/30/24 at 6:24 pm
I believe this is essentially the end of the NCAA as an enforcement body. They back down, everybody will push back. They don't back down, the courts kill them. They should just accept that they have no say in where athletes play and whether they are paid. The highest court in the land already laid ...
