Hitting Pat Swilling's house in Eastover and then almost decapitating former channel 6 sportscaster Rich Lenz on a massive overstrike on back-to-back shots.

I said in the end, LIV would improve the PGA product similarly to how the USFL improved the NFL and it did just that with higher purses, accountability and player equity.

LIV has absolutely not improved the PGA product.

The PGA Tour is about to contract by eliminating half of its tournaments and about 40% of its available tour cards. Sports leagues and entities only contract when they have serious financial difficulties. They are not broke like LIV, but they are in trouble.

You can add Colonial to the list of events that are going away. They have told the tour no on being a challenger event, and their relationship with Schwab will get them a Champions Tour slot. Instead, the Byron Nelson gets the DFW slot because it's putting up more money, despite the fact that this event has been total shite since Byron passed, and was pretty crappy when he was alive.

Zurich wants a Champions Tour spot as well, but we'll see if that happens.

So, Colonial is done. Zurich is done. St. Jude is done. Pretty sure the Heritage is out as well. You call that improvement?

LIV has done irreparable harm to professional golf in that it exploited the players' greed. Those chickens are coming home to roost in a much smaller tour filled with unproven new events in cities where tourney after tourney have been tried and failed.

Who approved this nonsense?

That would be Louisiana State University...the one in Baton Rouge. They want all their system schools in the same colors.

it took a threat of expulsion to get LSU's attention.

For the millionth time, there was never a real threat of expulsion. That would have put the conference in breach of contract with Disney requiring a total re-negotiation of the deal. That is a multi-month or even multi-year process. You can't pull that off in a couple of weeks.

If the SEC was going to expel LSU in August 2026, they probably would have had to bring that to Disney by at least August 2025 to make it happen.

It's sad how many of you people fall for the gaslighting that's out there.

I bet this kind of thing is happening a lot. Parents are divorced but both involved in the kid's life. Mom lines up an agent and NIL deals. Dad lines up an agent and NIL deals. Kid being a minor has little sayso in this process. The kid is choosing not only between schools but between parents.

The story:

Babylon Bee

First, for the low information lurkers here, BB is a satirical website, kind of like the Onion.

Not sure what the Falcons did to get on their radar, but here you go.

North Carolina is the top get for both the SEC and the B1G.

* They get both conferences into a market they are not in. Bor the B1G, it gets them in the South.

* UNC immediately raises the academic standing, especially for the SEC. University presidents care about that.

* They help basketball.

* From a football standpoint, they are the most underperforming program in the country. There is no reason they should suck the way they have. A better conference might kick them into gear.

This is all just legal mumbo-jumbo. Defendants field a motion to dismiss. Plaintiffs responded. They had to say something so this is what they said.

The bottom line is this: This suit has zero chance of success. Multiple legal analysts have chimed in with the legal flaws.

The SEC wants to save face. They don't want this tossed and they don't want to settle and not get anything. They want to settle with LSU admitting they did something wrong. LSU won't do this because they know the suit will lose.

Sankey just needs to accept that they are taking the loss here because they were stupid enough to file a nonsense lawsuit to begin with.
