Quote from: EastMemphisHog on Today at 09:48:32 pmCarson Wiggins might get a shot on the mound too. Sounds like he's already in the upper 90's.

Doubt he makes it to campus

Quote from: onebadrubi on Today at 09:33:31 pmJust a hunch, I think Jones felt angry he didn't a leg up on an outfield shot this year.  I could be wrong though. 

He got first chance in LF and started day 1. He maybe got lost in a shuffle a bit mid-season but beyond that, he doesn't have much of a gripe

Quote from: hogsanity on Today at 09:40:36 pmI said all the angst is over maybe the top 100-200 getting paid. The real difference makers. No one cares if the 3rd string tackle at Southern Miss is getting a grand from someone for a camp or something because they knew his dad and owe him a favor. They care about a QB who was a star for their team leaving to go somewhere else because they got offered more nil money.

The reality is we do not know who or how many are being paid what amount and who is paying them.
And it is not nil as it was intended, it is pay to play.
When a person is paid to play he is no longer an amateur but a pro.
I have never enjoyed pro sports.
Not knocking those who do, but I do not.
If that is what college sports is coming to just say so and stop with the bull.

Oh yeah, and they call us Upig

Funny, I just went and looked at the miss st game thread, they're 10 times worse negative Nancy's than ours!

I doubt that is right.

We will need a program to identify next year's team. Baseball will be no different than football or basketball regarding player movement. Money will be important.

Quote from: hogsanity on Yesterday at 05:24:39 pmThere are 130ish fbs teams. That's 85 scholarships per team, over 11000 players. Of those 11000 how many are getting paid anything at all above their scholarship?

All the angst is over maybe 100-200 top players out of 11000+.
