My tickets are:

Section: 127
Row: 25 (the last one, you can stand up without getting yelled at)
Seats: 7-8

I'd probably sell them for $85 each.

the NCAA doesn't pay tuition expenses or give grants and scholarships, the individual university does. Still, it's not even close to fair. The NCAA makes billions per year, just in basketball and football TV contracts.

:wtf The NCAA distributes the majority of the revenue it earns to the conferences, who pass it on to the schools. And the NCAA's revenues were less than $850 million last year.

The vast majority of the revenues associated with college sports are earned directly by the Universities and go to fund scholarships and athletic programs. And most Universities actually lose money on the majority of their sports programs (save, usually, football). The idea that there are billions and billions of dollars of profits being earned on the backs of college athletes is untrue. And given the value of a typical 4 year scholarship, room and board is about $150,000 AND the fact that the University system affords most professional caliber athletes an opportunity to develop and to showcase their talents in preparation for a lucrative pro career, I have a hard time feeling sorry for them. Nobody is holding a gun to their head. If they can get a better deal, they should simply bypass college and take it.
 
alright then. the ncaa is some altruistic robin hood of a multi-billion dollar business, who made less than a billion in 2010 before their new tv contracts for march madness and bowl games went into effect. watch ncaa hockey instead, then. but don't fool yourselves that ncaa isn't big business.

---------------------

anyways, Demers (wrist) Burns (groin) and Braun (hand) are all hurt right now. dang, last year it was Boyle and Murray who were hurt a lot. If it's not one guy, it's another. They're not going to have a long time to ease their way into the season either. Burns will most likely have to play through it without being healed. Hopefully Boyle will pick up his game this year.
 
I was feeling a bit fantasied out from football, but considering that I need revenge from last year on all ya'll mofos, count me in.

==========

I still have my Sharks pack from the beginning of the season (or at least I think I do), so I'll be attending the games I have tickets to. I'd also like to remind people to not forget to support our local restaurant/businesses that depend on the hockey season. They've suffered as much, or more, as we've have.

Cheers. Go Sharks!
 
I'm in for fantasy Tina. Just PM me and I'll give you my email.

Also, I posted my tickets for sale in the grab bag. I put all of the games up, since I'm going to be very busy over the next 6 months..

Yo Commish!

Looking at last year's league, the previous Commish can renew the league. Check it out to get things going.
 
Shit, I forgot about that. Okay, I'll set it up during my lunch break and send it out. Is there anyone interested playing this year that was not a participant last year? Anyone who played last year that wants out of this year? LMK.

Thanks.

^I'd figure Yahoo would let you transfer commissh responsibilities, if you wanted to.

Yes, Yahoo allows transfer of commish responsibilities. I've actually been real busy at work, so this is something I'm totally okay with. Are you volunteering yourself? :teeth

Done. Any other changes you guys want to see? Now is the chance.

JesasaurusRex said:
take your lunch break early already

DRAFT TONIGHT!!!!
Click to expand...

Done. League is up, invitations are sent. Instead of last year's complicated scoring settings, I used Yahoo default with some minor additions (SHP). More or less everything is Yahoo default but please give the rules/scoring a once over and voice any concerns; once the league starts, I don't want to hear any bitching.

Also, it's on bitches! :twofinger No mercy from me this year

Edit:
Also, draft day is currently set for Thursday, January 17 @ 8PM. What draft time works for everyone? But hurry, cause you need to set draft time 24 hours prior. FYI: Season begins this Saturday.

I'm not very interested in commissioning another league, however I can handle it if you need me to.

I have bowling league Thursdays until 9:30. I'm hosting a poker party Friday. so only tonight or Wed night is ok, otherwise just auto-draft will be fine.
 
Sure thing then :)


Oh, can you limit the trades per week down 1 trade? I think that sh*t was "unfair" even tho it is what i used to win
