re: Aliyah Boston of the Indiana Fever is now the highest paid player in the WNBA

The WNBA continually shows that they don't care about marketability factoring into anything they do.
When you don't have to grow the game to exist, your business model is like a candle in the wind.

Yeah, hard to compare timeframes and eras based on different technologies to measure.

1974 doesn't seem so crazy long ago....but Steinbrenner's $9 million purchase price of the Yankees seems eons ago...like he bought them during Roman times.

If you walked by a pickup game in some inner-city, you probably have standing to argue,for inclusion into the generic all-inclusive "basketball hall of fame".

So Iowa's the ONE school that still owns a copy of the NCAA rulebook?

re: Has Rory gotten himself into the Top 10 Golfers of all time?

I am not an avid golf fan and realize different courses play differently etc. but why would someone having 8 majors but no Masters wins be less ranked all time than someone who has 4 majors but 1 of each? I know my example is a bit extreme as it's 2X the total majors but at some point majors matter overall more I would think and that is the point of being extreme
This question applies to tennis as well and you can skew it with argument from either side depending on your subjective viewpoint.
John McEnroe is a Top 10 player of all-time and Pete Sampras is Too 5 , both never won the French Open and Sampras never even reached the Final despite 13 attempts.
So people can spin that as a negative (bad on a specific surface) or dismiss it (French Open is a novelty).

Since the SEC has never won a National Title, not much interest for the Frozen Four on here.

The writing has been on the wall but fans don't want to hear about even though the SEC commish is freaking' out as all the Presidents try to figure out new angles to get out of this cold freeze the SEC is in by pushing legislation, lobbying, etc.
Its gonna be a deep cold slumber and it started when College Athletics changed and has started to hit full stride as the Big10 keeps building the skyscrapers the SEC can't climb.
SEC - now is the winter of your discontent; and it will be long, pouty and wistful.

More likely reason, the best players (south) just stayed home until the money was too good
This seems to be the most likely driver
They all went North or West in the 60s and 70s for obvious reasons and then familes came back and stayed home in the 80s/90s when things had ahem, settled down.
That's the prevailing theory.

The SEC didn't start cheating in college sports. It's been being done since before the SEC formed in the early 30's. I Ivy Leagues were the best teams in the country when they cheated.
But Billy Bob and Jimmy Joe perfected the secrecy behind it. Since everyone at these institutions valued their University based on football success, from Presidents on down to fans and everyone in the State, there were no whistleblowers and no one to tattle to.
But yeah...lets go back to Notre Dame, when they dominated the roaring 20s...probably CFBs first professional team as the line was blurred between CFB and the fledgling Pros.
Notre Dame had players on the team who weren't even real students. They'd be on the team for a year, barnstorming the Nation and then be out of School the next year. Kinda,like today.

Meh. Could have easily lost last night if Uconn could have made ANY of the wide open 3s they were missing.
Uh, Michigan went 0-9 on 3s in the 1st Half and they still led by 4 at Halftime.... That's how good Michigan is...even their B game is better than the field. If the Michigan against Arizona had showed up this would've been a massacre. Kudos for UConn miraculously punking Duke I guess.

Baseball :lol:
That ship sailed 25 years ago...perhaps you caught their swan song?
USC hitched their future to Academic International prestige awhile back...made the School ridiculously expensive and hired administrators who look down on sports.
The small cabal that still glories in football will still keep 'em relevant and lay down in NIL with pretty much all going to football... Any other sports achievements will have to be by true student-athletes.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.
They've been saying it over 100 years back to their first football coach, to Bo, to now. Its their mantra and identity.
If you don't like their tradition, move on ...because I guess a "Michigan Man" don't need your opinion anyhow.
