I genuinely apologize if that was too critical.

For context: I get irritated that our current culture is a headline culture where (a) supposed journalists sell **** takes by using headlines that don't match the actual content, and (b) they can keep doing it because our general public have gotten so lazy and gullible.

If you read the article and missed the disconnect between headline and content, then I apologize.

To answer your question, I think Sankey is UT's ally in the investigation. It's obvious from his quotes that he's publicly calling for the NCAA to stand down.

Fair enough. And I certainly agree about writers; you can't really trust any of it at face value.

Plus the way they pitch is different and interesting to watch. . . it's not something anyone could just go do.

I agree about wbb. . . they did adjust the balls to be smaller and easier for them to work with. It allowed a lot of women to be extremely good ball handlers, who otherwise would've been intimidated by the big balls. They should've adjusted everything else to go along with it.

Yah. I'm not sure I'd trust anything that article has to say.



Mean old AG covering for an obviously guilty UT by going after poor ol' NCAA, who's just trying to do their job...

Looks like they completely misrepresented Sankey. After alluding that he's not a fan of UT's lawsuit (it doesn't even mention UT), and thus is siding against UT, we can actually read the quotes for ourselves.



Sankey is showing a united front with the NCAA by using the collective "we" per NCAA/SEC, then makes no bones about the fact that the NCAA needs to stop the stupid enforcement investigations it has going on, and realize that the sky is falling per these lawsuits. Get your **** together. Read the room. Make sane priorities.

Not sure how anyone can read that article past its headline and wonder if Sankey is in UT's corner per the NCAA investigation.

That lawsuit came on the heels of the NCAA doing its job - investigating a Tennessee collective allegedly using a private jet to fly heralded five-star quarterback prospect Nico Iamaleava to campus during his recruitment, which is a violation of NCAA rules.

And Tennessee is an obvious recent repeat offender. The NCAA penalized Tennessee's football program (while under coach Jeremy Pruitt from 2018-20 before his firing) last summer for more than 200 rules violations, calling it "one of the worst the Committee On Infranctions has seen." There were 18 Level I violations that included around $60,000 in impermissible inducements and benefits for recruits. More major offenses now on the heels of so many major offenses could seriously damage the future of Tennessee football, and lawyers from Tennessee who love the Vols are trying to do something about it by going after the NCAA.


I find it very ironic that the sum total of all of these major Level I violations is a smaller amount of money than the MSRP for many models of Dodge Chargers.

I see the conspiracy has begun its move from Saban and Bama to Kirby to and UGA bc they’re the top program now.

Good stuff.

It was AL and GA. Question is will it continue, will it be just GA, or will others be included like TX. Follow the money. Or just convince yourself that money doesn’t matter.

Women’s softball is far more entertaining than women’s basketball. Because it’s catered to women. Smaller field, different gear, just a different game, it’s like arena baseball, which is cool.

Women’s basketball should not be played on a men’s court. It should be smaller, the rim should be lower, and the 3-point line closer. Women are not as physically gifted as males, so the game looks slow and boring on the same court that the men play on… to most everyone. I know, not everyone.

Don’t know why I felt compelled to say that, but there you are. Pat Summit’s spirit will probably haunt me now.

Yes bc they NCAA is trying to enforce recruiting rules that weren’t rules during Nico’s recruitment. But they’ll lose anyway.

UGA’s QB is a current player. Nothing to do with recruiting. Nothing in rules says a current player can’t sign an NIL deal with a car dealership.

And if you think that UGA hasn’t been committing recruiting violations in the last ten years with the classes they have brought in then you are as naive as I wish I was. And of course they know.
