Whether you think the send at third was bad call or not, pretty hard to predict the type of injury Monty sustained would happen.
Edit to fix typo
At least pro sport has protections via strong contracts, collective bargaining, rules for contact, etc. The more this happens, the more fanbases are crossed, the greater the apathy.Sean98 said:1939 said:Jesus, what a world we live in where people are willing to give college baseball players $1M.Mike Elko said:Well, that last sentence especially sucks.

At what point will boosters begin to realize if they're paying the coach $3.5m and the team $15-20m that they could just get rid of the coach and buy players on their own? Hell just hire some training academy guys to teach fundamentals and then let the BMAs play fantasy baseball with the lineup.

We can all agree that Schloss and the staff are absolutely slimy, but let's not pretend they threw the national championship. They wanted to win too. There is absolutely no reason that they wouldnt want to win the trophy. None of those guys have been secret longhorns all their lives plotting Aggie demise.
The former players talking shit?!

That's essentially throwing the game then. Making moves in the best interest to another team and not A&M while being paid by A&M is illegal.

To me, this raises a bigger question…
What is the point of watching college sports when the product on the field isn't a true representation of the name of the institution on the front of the jersey?
I don't watch pro sports because I don't have a connection to a bunch of adults that get paid to do a job and don't really care about the team they are on.
Now, when I think of college sports, why does it matter if the team wins when the players and coaches have no allegiance to the institution, only to the money they are being paid?
Why should I care about the outcome of these games that are played/coached by eternal free agents?
What return do I get on the investment of my time in watching these events?
Why should I care about any of these coaches or players and if their team wins or loses?

Been saying this exact thing to my friends, why do I go support A&M sports, they aren't A&M. I am A&M, my dad is, my grandfather is, but the coaches and players clearly aren't. They are hired mercenaries that have nothing to do with my school. So why do I support them and pretend that they do ??? I Feel like I have been lied to and got played. The whole thing feels like a scam, I am not actually cheering for A&M, these guys aren't A&M, but my brain is having a tough time telling my heart that.
What did Gavin's dad do?histag10 said:
Gavin I expected after his dad's tantrums.
Jace kinda infuriates me. Hopefully he's just looking for more $ to stay.

You weren't lied to. You were a dope with his head in the sand. We all were at one point.
Some of us figured it out before we ever gave any money to the TMF. Others wasted some money learning it.

I don't blame any of the players for looking at their options- especially guys on a trajectory towards pro ball. Entering the portal doesn't mean they have to transfer, and if they do I'd put the blame on the spineless liars who couldn't wait til the season was over to abandon their team
Portal news: Jace LaViolette, Gavin Grahovac, Jack Bell, Kaeden Kent and Max Kaufer have all entered the NCAA Transfer Portal.

I know everyone didn’t believe a word he said. But just to further prove they are lying, my Brother-in-Law is a basketball coach in college station and Nolan Cain’s son told the coaches they were moving and he wouldn’t be playing this season… and that was 3 weeks ago.

I know I won't get it, but I want the NCAA to deliver the death penalty to the sip athletic program. There is far more than enough definitive evidence of the lengths they will go to to tarnish, damage, and destroy any program that impedes their delusion of grandeur-driven greatness.
**** the sips now and forever more.
