The NCAA will be defunct within five years due to NIL and conference realignment

With all the conference realignment and stuff going on and all of the NCAA. And NIL, I think that the NCAA will be defunct within five years. I like it. I liked that. So it was the sec just gonna become the, the NCAA. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's what it feels like. That's where is trending anywhere where it's all just money they're taking out the administrative school part of it.

The five-year mark is 2026. While the NCAA still exists, its power has been massively curtailed by court rulings (Alston) and the autonomy of the Power 2 (Big Ten/SEC). It is effectively a shell of its former self, but not literally defunct.

Coach K will win 'Retirement of the Year' multiple times because he wants a year-long 'suck my dick' tour

I'm going to say coach K is going to win it this year. And he's going to win next year when he actually does retire because coach K has said that he's going to retire, but he needs everyone to suck his dick for an entire year before he actually retired. He could probably be talked into coming back... then he could have a dynasty of retirement.

Coach K did indeed have a long farewell tour throughout the 2021-22 season and retired after the 2022 Final Four.

The European Super League would have been sick and a great idea

I honestly kind of missed the idea of the super league. I, again, it's bad. We understand football's a sport. Everything else is a business, but super league would have been sick and low key. Imagine Man City against Barcelona on a Wednesday, like twice a year on a Wednesday that you would have. That's just a great idea. Great idea.

The Super League collapsed within days of its announcement in April 2021. This is a subjective opinion on its potential quality.

Dan Wolken thinks sports should not exist until he personally approves of them

[Dan Wolken] thinks it's sports and he doesn't think that sports should ever exist. He thinks that balls, every ball should be deflated in America until such time that Dan Wolken personally approves of it.

This is a satirical characterization of Wolken's caution regarding sports during the pandemic; it cannot be literally verified.

American sports dominance is officially over

Are we as a country washed? because this also is on the heels of shams announcing SGA back to back MVP and I think it's been like nine years, I believe eight years since an American has won the NBA MVP... and Aaron Rai, it's the second European to win a major this year and Europeans are now two and oh in majors for the first time since 1934.

While hyperbolically stated, the fact that international players have dominated NBA MVPs (Jokic, Giannis, Embiid, SGA) for nearly a decade is factual.

The Steelers will be stuck with a 7-10 win ceiling with Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers is back. I feel bad for Steelers fans... he's not the same quarterback... the Steelers just put a finite floor and ceiling on their season. Right? And it's somewhere between seven and 10 wins. That's what we're thinking.

Outcome depends on the 2026 NFL season results for the Steelers.

The Chicago White Sox are no longer a joke and could win the AL Central

White Sox are good. They're actually like, this is finally like, it's kind of, they're not a joke. They've got some sluggers. Big time dude... I don't know what the price is for them winning the AL Central, but they, they, they are not a bad team.

White Sox performance in the 2026 MLB season is ongoing.
