NIL gave rules and regulations to asset acquisition in college sports. Before NIL the rich were just cheating. No surprise it didn’t take long before spending levels got somewhat equal and the SEC can’t sniff a national championship in 3 years. Right now the rich in the MLB…
Unfortunately you can’t have a “free market” in sports. Inevitability the rich get richer, people cheat and buy up all the assets because…why wouldn’t you? To be competitive you need strict rules on how all the assets are distributed and how the game is played. Yes, like…
Coaching and analytics in the MLB are irrelevant if one team can spend as much as 7 teams’ total payroll. Not enough info can counter that about of talent accumulation. Sorry, I’m a former player and going against the grain but reality plays out how it plays out. Egos need…
The loudest of opponents of a salary cap are the ones it won’t affect at all. The ones that it’ll actually have an effect on prolly don’t even look at their paystub. 😒. (Ohtani).
All those empty seats for a playoff game. Games should be on campus till the final four.
Little League needs to scrap itself and rebrand to a better brand of baseball that isn’t built for kids from 60 years ago. Kids are bigger, faster, stronger, have better info, better coaching. We can move the fences back and play real damn baseball. Private equity is gobbling…
"Private equity is turning what was once an affordable public good into a profit-extraction machine." @CapitolKVD testifies before House Committee on Education and the Workforce on how private equity is gutting youth sports👇
People that preach from the moral high ground just haven’t been caught yet
MLB and the writers lose the plot by keeping “cheaters” out of the HOF when their league is backed by FanDuel and sports betting.
With basically all the states that allow NIL for HS athletes, it almost has to go hand in hand that public and private high schools need to be separated. Reasoning…public schools don’t have a culture of donation and generally don’t have just random cash sitting on the sidelines…
The best of the best are rarely satisfied.
How important is the 'big inning' in college baseball? In 2025 teams who generated a big inning (3+ runs) won... D1 Baseball: 70.2% of the time D2 Baseball: 70.1% of the time D3 Baseball: 69.6% of the time NAIA Baseball: 70.6% of the time
When scientists study how top performers develop in sports, music, and careers a pattern keeps appearing. The people who eventually become the best are not the ones who specialize the earliest.
if you only watch one hitting video from me, let it be this one. thank you for the inspiration, @RickRubin.
This needs to be said. Parents If your son is undersized as a kid (little league-youth age) and is a tireless worker and competitive by nature. Be patient. He's going to pass the majority of early bloomers. It can actually be a big time advantage in the long run. Puberty, the…
Quitting a sport in favor of getting jacked as a high school baseball player is overrated. Being flexible, fluid and athletic beats big muscles every time. You’re tapping into a dangerous emotion of just wanting to look good in a uni. Play basketball.
Where you at Manfred?
🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 The NFL has worked with lawmakers, regulators and sports betting partners to limit and, where possible, prohibit prop bets in the NFL #PMSLive
Seen a lot on X about MLB guys getting caught gambling and everyone talks about money. It ain’t about the money, the dudes were bored and needed some excitement. Fill your free time up with productive activities with productive and decent people. If you don’t, you can easily…
