[drewm88]

Broeker's the guy who had the nerve to come to Scoop and lecture us. No thank you.

Nope. That wasn't Broeker. It was whoever was behind RoneyEford on here. One of the SID's.

Class was in session.

Broeker deserves payback. The Mods need to release his email address immediately!

[Blackhat]

Broeker runs this biatch.

MUScoop is a front operation for Broeker's sleeper cells.


They're keeping track of you.

What athletics do UWM students have to look forward to now?

Well, they do have Varsity Baseball.  Something that neither Marquette nor UW-Madison have...

[avid1010]

in my opinion...the only reason UWM got hit with this violation is because they didn't cheat (or play the system) well enough.  not saying they couldn't have legitimately hit the mark, but to hit UWM with a ban considering the stuff coming out of UNC, the one-and-done at schools like UK, etc. it seems absurd to pick on UWM.  flawed system.

Cool, that's sorta beetween Little League and Class A, right?

Well, like our basketball team is somewhere between High School and the D-League.

[Coleman]

The difference being, the best high school baseball players go straight to the minors, while the best high school basketball players go to college, not the D League.

I could care less about college baseball, as could 95% of Americans.

Beat me to it.

You could accurately say that about any college sport outside of football and men's basketball.

Exactly. Those are the only two that matter.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Exactly. Those are the only two that matter.

Even then, they matter far less than most people here realize.  A vocal group, but a small group compared to the general populace.

Well, yeah, in the scheme of world history, they matter very little.

But they matter in that the majority of Americans fill out a bracket, watch a bowl game or the Final Four, and are aware of who the winners are.

You can't really say that about any other NCAA sport.

Thing is, this is easily provable.  It's a black and white formulaic process...there isn't a whole lot of wiggle room here.  The penalties are clearly outlined as well.  You fall below the line, here's the penalty.

The UNC stuff and anything else in that realm requires a lot of investigation, proof, the NCAA has no subpoena power which leaves them somewhat impotent.  Simply tougher to prove where the APR really isn't.  You either did or didn't meet the requirements.

Majority of Americans do not fill out a bracket, watch a bowl game, Final Four.  That's the thing, we inflate things grossly because we are sports fans.

As an example, 21.2 million viewers tuned in Monday night.  Even the Super Bowl drew 112 million viewers.  Not the majority of Americans.

When I see day to day ratings, you would be amazed how few people are really sports fans in this country to the point they watch a lot of sports.  That's one of the issues with television costs right now, sports drives the costs and most people are upset because they don't give a damn about sports but the sports leagues\teams\etc demand it be carried to most customers....meaning they all have to pay.
