If economist ever needed extra evidence to prove inelastic demand, I’d point them to our athletic programs. When I saw this slide show from CNBC I can’t say I was shocked. We finished the year as the 12th most profitable basketball program in the NCAA tournament and third in the Big 12 behind KU and

The chance to “play” some real teams you might not see otherwise would be very cool. Bit TV and ticket sales…
I guess the issues are injuries, wanting to work out lots of guys (inter-squad would be cutting their reps in half), and losing to face by getting skunked by somebody.

I am still afraid of Syracuse and that zone, but that’s still just a potential matchup that seems a long way away.
We’ll have to deal with three days between games next week, so there will be plenty of time to analyze that matchup if both teams are still alive next week. For now, let’s focus

Utah St is decent, ags had one impressive win at 10 seed Mizzou this year. That being said, Ags will cover that.
You can win a 2011 Infiniti M if your bracket is the best one in the galaxy. My BC tote bag would look sharp in that car.

Perhaps as soon as next year. The NCAA has an “opt out” clause in its $6 Billion contract with CBS this summer and they have already asked for a Request For Proposal from any and all networks interested.
The current contract with CBS is backloaded — the network owes the NCAA $2.3 Billion over the next

You, as usual, are correct about the ACT score. However, that he decided to continue with his commitment to USC this late in the process and this close to an anticipated NCAA ruling is probably the bigger story. He had an out and still decided on USC. Just wondering aloud

The best bowl game-hands down to cover is the Sun Bowl. They know how to throw a party.
Before he sobered up, Pat Summeral and his NFL running buddy, Tom Brookshire would work one college game a year, and it was in El Paso.
Hell, the best time I ever had traveling with the basketball team was out to El Paso for their Holiday tournament.

Actually, El Paso is closer to L.A. than it is to the east Texas border.
I learned that from Paul Burka’s article about El Paso in ‘Texas Monthly.’
According to that article, someone from the El Paso city council probably wouldn’t hesitate to sell you beach front property there.
