Tarver

So Mayweather is angry at HBO because he agreed to a below-market contract? He has nobody to blame but himself. It should be ancient history; he signed the contract as a teenager with Arum as his agent. The networks quit signing fighters to exclusive contracts back in '02, but Floyd is still pissed, hence his argument with Merchant. The only reason he still fights on HBO is because he's still under contract with Golden Boy. Don't be surprised if the Paquiao fight is a Showtime production.

When I saw the headlines on Yahoo about a reality tv star turned pro, I thought TMZ had belatedly dug up something on Romo.

Just put the poor guy in the booth already. What's it gonna take, him in a wheelchair?

Ortiz kissed him. He was clowning around and the environment got to him. Floyd took advantage like any pro would.

what? I'm showing empathy for your plight. Tarver's got himself on auto with little regard for where he fires, yet he isn't hitting anything. He's like imb with a leg cramp. 8.1

I still think it's all being driven by football media revenue. I don't know how the teams could come up with their own tourney and keep all these other schools out. Coming from another Big Ten alum. Where's OMC or Vance? Let's compare academic stats with those goofball southern schools. ? I was trying to drum up some solidarity with us Big Ten alums but now that he called me homeless forget it

I don't know how the teams could come up with their own tourney and keep all these other schools out. maybe the Big Ten teams will just drop out like most of their alumni. Hit a little close to home, did I? its just that every time I see a homeless man, I think "there lies another tragic University of Indiana failure.." we're just not equipped socially to land in those posh places like Grand Rapids. Yeah, St. Paul is very cosmopolitan.

Temple is an NBA mill? Not really, but they produce more basketball players than they do football. See Chuck's post above. Temple currently is in the MAC for football only, while in the A-10 for all other sports. So my idea could be the same: MAC for football, Big East for everything else. Same for Memphis if they were to replace Butler. I think Temple plays their home football games on a gravel parking lot. Your idea's fine, problem is the NCAA is a [expletive] joke.

Bobby Knight, the underemployed turn a lonely eye to you

Indi-who? I prefer [expletive] on Indiana...but why are people supposed to talk about them when the topic is conference realignment??? We're not, I'm just pissed my school has become such an afterthought.

Indi-who? I thought architects had longer memories.

And I love how everyone keeps forgetting Indiana in all this. Just keep sleeping on us...
