You remember when all the folks saying the NCAA was corrupt were just stupid people and their conspiracies?
That was fun.![]()
Baltimore Orioles stole Corbin Burnes from Milwaukee ..No. Both he and Smith-Shawver SHOULD start the season at AAA imo. Braves loaded up on middle relief, so Snit will most likely let that ride at least for the first couple of weeks to a month. Smith-Shawver would get first shot if the fourth/fifth starter flails and first suspect would be Elder. Organization has proven not to be scared to roll with you when you distance yourself, and both appear perfectly talented enough to follow the path of Strider. And at least by mid-season they’re going to want to know what to expect with Fried most likely gone next season.
I think some hold a grudge against Tennessee (Pat Adams)-- I also think some are bias, whether paid off to be that way, etc.NCAA always been corrupt. That’s not a conspiracy. Corrupt in terms of they do not have student athletes best interest at heart. But by that same token, neither do the member institutions including UT. Otherwise they would’ve figured out how to pay players and gone to bat for them many many years ago.
It is not however intentionally trying to hold just UT down and prop up its opponents, which is the conspiracy. They are / will be / would be (depending on court outcomes) investigating many other schools as well including FL.
Just like the refs aren’t conspiring against UT.

So now we judge the greatness of a men’s BB coach at TN by just what he does against UK?Those stats alone should wipe any pearlist argument away.
What’s pearl’s record against uk while at Tennessee? While at auburn?
No Tennessee coach has ever handled uk basketball like CRB has. Those are phenomenal coaching stats.
On a broader level, has any coach ever had a better record against uk than CRB? I doubt it.
Watching the game last night, the Vols made a statement that they don’t even need a strong performance from DK to beat uk.![]()
There's a lot of Joey Crawford's in the College game as refs.No doubt there are times personal bias comes into play. Humans are humans. But every fanbase hates Pat Adams. He’s a bad ref bc he thinks the crowd is there for him. And there are a ton of bad refs in college sports.
