re: More Realignment Coming? Maybe Silos As Well

When most people talk about government interference, they are talking increased regulations, compliance requirements, rules, laws, and enforcement upon the [business] private sector that increase costs, reduce transaction efficiency, and increase time, friction, and uncertainty
That's true in general.
However, here we're talking specifically about the NCAA and the state of college sports.
It was certain judges' decisions that affected the entire college sports situation in the U.S.
The NCAA actions are in response to those court rulings.

I'm still lost how the NCAA has been like this this long with nobody taking action sooner.
While the NCAA had problems, they were minor compared to the problems caused by judges making rulings in lawsuits.
When most people talk about government interference, they are talking about several unelected judges doing the damage.
As long as the U.S. allows certain unelected lower level (not Supreme Court) judges to make rulings that affect the entire country, we will continue to have issues.

Lately, the NCAA ruins everything it touches.

Sucks the Tigers weren’t in it, but man do they love P&G up there.
Listened to the advice of an older man working at the KC academy who saw my hat and said “you should wear whatever P&G you got up there, they love y’all.” He was right. Hadn’t heard that many Geaux Tigers outside of an LSU game maybe ever.
I posted a while back about this. It has nothing to do with LSU money -- it is because LSU people have so much fun there.
Especially when the games were at the old stadium, LSU fans would park their cars and vans in people's yards around the stadium (for a fee!) and have the best tailgates.
Of all the teams that have played at the World Series, Nebraska fans like LSU more than any other (unless Nebraska magically made it there).
re: Jell-O shot people pissed off McAfee last night, so he calls out their scam

McAfee plays the "Don't you know who I am?" card to a bar manager with about 500 yelling fans inside.
Most bars won't take a check. They took a check several years ago from someone they knew. It's likely the bar guy didn't know McAfee from any other loud drinking people in the bar.
If someone thinks the bar's contest is stupid -- don't go there. Just because these guys found a way to make some money doesn't make them the bad guys here.

Many may not remember the Tulane basketball betting issues in the 1980s. Players may not have actively been betting, but they were shaving points for others. It cost the school its basketball team, and it cost the innocent coach a job, and followed him for life. NIL and the portal have changed the game, but if betting by players on their own team is allowed, we can kiss college athletics goodbye.

re: Another sad part about missing out on the World Series
Posted by NebraskaExPat on 5/27/26 at 8:53 am to King of New Orleans
I obviously wrote a poorly worded post. I wanted to let LSU fans know how much Nebraskans like having the Tigers at the World Series each year, and it goes far beyond just the money.
LSU fans bring fun and excitement to the city during the Series, and they will be missed this year.
Sorry about posting something that sounded bad -- it wasn't meant that way.

People in Omaha have a close relationship with LSU for the World Series. Going back to the old stadium, with LSU fans having cookouts in the area, and having a great time win or lose, the Nebraska people had a team to cheer for.
It didn't change in the move to the new stadium. Fewer cookouts in yards and tailgating, but more bar and restaurant fun.
On top of it all, the LSU fans came ready to spend money.
I would guess outside of Louisiana, Nebraska probably has the most fans disappointed in the Tiger's season.

It may seem like that in Louisiana, but it's not really the case in other parts of the country. Outside of the SEC, I would guess most people don't feel anything about LSU.
If you really want teams hated nationwide, in no particular order: Michigan, Notre Dame, Texas, and maybe Miami.

#1. My adopted state after leaving Louisiana is Nebraska. I'd like to see a winter state at least get to the Series and do well.
#2. Arkansas. Nebraska loved Coach Van Horn when he was here. I'd like to see him get a title.

Now, if like this year the champ would otherwise miss the tourney, they should be slotted as the 4-seed in the 1 overall regional.

You may want to go back and reread that post.
He was not talking about a southern accent. He was talking about a strictly Georgia accent.
If you ask anyone from outside the south what state a southern accent is from, it's unlikely anyone could say it's Georgia, or Mississippi, or Alabama, or several other states.
What is likely is if those same people heard an accent from southern Louisiana, they would be able to identify it.

As much as I don't like the NCAA, to be fair we have to blame certain activist judges. Those judges (and the players' lawyers) created this mess.

If a judge rules he can play, it will have a huge impact of all of college basketball (and other sports).
There are a large number of players who opted to go to the NBA and didn't make a team. How many of them would come back to play for a school and get paid? I'll bet a lot of them.

re: Am I the only one that thinks that LSU not having normal frontage roads is a problem?

Someone from Texas talking about frontage roads!
I've traveled all over the U.S., and Texas has some of the worst-designed access and frontage roads in the U.S.

Can some of the fielding issues connect with the bad pitching? Errors due to so many on bases due to walks. Errors due to hard hit balls to fielders.
I know, there shouldn't be that many errors regardless of the pitching. But I have a feeling there wouldn't have been as many errors without all the bad pitching.

I have no idea what you're even talking about. I graduated from LSU, and left Louisiana years ago. It's embarrassing to watch local sports and see our coach saying things that shouldn't be out there.

I live 900 miles away from Louisiana, and Kiffin's comments have been in our sports news here several times in the past days.
He didn't need to make the comments, especially for a magazine like Vanity Fair.
