I've been looking around for some hint as to who will be on the mound for both IU and Nebraska and there is nothing out there right now, and we may not know until tomorrow.
Nebraska had to play three games this week with Thursday off, while IU played two games with a day off between each game. Hopefully, we win tomorrow morning and don't need a second game that day. Bothwell back on the mound after four days rest? Who knows. Will the Huskers use Sears tomorrow after he pitched Wednesday for the Huskers and went 6.0 IP. Would you hold one of those pitchers or both for a game 2 if needed? It will be interesting how they approach it tomorrow.

The NCAA and its five power conferences have agreed to allow schools to directly pay players for the first time in the 100-plus-year history of college sports.

The NCAA and its leagues are moving forward with a multibillion-dollar agreement to settle three pending federal antitrust cases. The NCAA will pay more than $2.7 billion in damages over 10 years to past and current athletes, sources told ESPN. Sources said the parties also have agreed to a revenue-sharing plan allowing each school to share up to roughly $20 million per year with its athletes.

"The five autonomy conferences and the NCAA agreeing to settlement terms is an important step in the continuing reform of college sports that will provide benefits to student-athletes and provide clarity in college athletics across all divisions for years to come," NCAA president Charlie Baker and the five power conference commissioners said in a joint statement Thursday evening.

"This settlement is also a road map for college sports leaders and Congress to ensure this uniquely American institution can continue to provide unmatched opportunity for millions of students. All of Division I made today's progress possible, and we all have work to do to implement the terms of the agreement as the legal process continues. We look forward to working with our various student-athlete leadership groups to write the next chapter of college sports."

All Division I athletes dating back to 2016 are eligible to receive a share as part of the settlement class. In exchange, athletes cannot sue the NCAA for other potential antitrust violations and must drop their complaints in three open cases: House v. NCAA, Hubbard v. NCAA and Carter v. NCAA.

I believe Memorial is due for a turf update sometime in the next few years as well.

I've always thought the guy was a weasel...



I'm don't think it would be a good thing for us if they're without him this Fall... I've always thought we had a fighting chance against them as long as he's the HC...

He's been coated in Teflon his entire career there though so maybe he'll last one more season...

Cignetti, who’s been a head coach since 2011 and on college coaching staffs since 1983, said strength and conditioning has changed a lot through the years and become more scientific. Owings holds several certifications, including CSCS-NSCA, USAW-Level 1, Running Mechanics Professional Level 1 and 2, Metabolic Analytics Practitioner, FRCms, Precision Nutrition Level 1, Body Type Nutrition, CPR and AED - ARC.

That’s one long list of credentials…

and didn't even get a new recruit

That's one of the worst calls I've ever seen, and Angel Hernandez wasn't even involved. I'm not a Sox fan in the least, but they got hosed.

going to be interesting to see how this plays out

As far as I know, we have Eastern Illinois and the three games in Atlantis.. Anyone else? Thought I read Kennesaw State again? Any insight TIA.

* Really wish for a return game vs Auburn in Indy..

To me puts a stain on college athletics. Fortunately we are in the Big Ten which sounds like our revenue from TV deal will cover our share ... we had better make sure we don't get kicked out of Big Ten

This makes ND to me have to join SEC or Big Ten ... Clemson and FSU go to SEC now for sure

... and have problems getting site to load?

You can just randomly say, "I'll watch some hockey tonight," and accidentally fall into a great game. Tonight in the first game of the Western finals, Dallas tied it late, and then they played Edmonton through a scoreless 20 minutes OT. So now they get a short break, then back for another OT.

But every OT is sudden death, so the game can end literally at any moment. You can't look away, or you'll miss it.

I met JT Kitna at the Rivals invite only camp at Decatur Central HS last week. He was the only camper I talked to. I just happened to see him throw some really nice balls and started chatting with him when I found out that not only is he the son of former NFL quarterback Jon Kitna, but that Indiana was on his radar and vice versa.
He really likes the #iufb staff and believes in what coach Curt Cignetti has going on in Bloomington.

The industry needs fixed. This article is trash.

Negative for small businesses.

One of the most intriguing Tory proposals this year seems to have been shelved by the election. Basically, the proposal was to ban all tobacco for anyone born after a certain date. Another way to look at it would be to say they would ban tobacco but grandfather in people already old enough to smoke. The hope was that as people aged, the smokers would be replaced by generations of non-smokers.

Anyone think something like that could work?

I came home from vacation and suddenly my 2015 car with almost 100,000 on it was lit up like a Christmas tree. Not worth putting a ton of money in it. I like midsize and need a convertible. 😎 Input? Also thoughts on working with Carvana? I’m lazy and hate with a passion negotiating. My dad worked at GM and always got the discount so don’t have experience with much else.

Cougars at Dillon Park in Noblesville. Bout fifteen of em. Lawn chairs. Wine sitch unknown.

Anybody else off tomorrow?
