  1. That is about how long it could take me to go from Brooklyn to the Bronx.
  2. This is the problem with the portal. If he cannot shoot at UB, what would make another coach think he can shoot for them? As the portal gets "more common" the players will begin to realize that many end up not playing somewhere else or having to drop to Division II or Division III. When that is realized players will be much less likely to enter the portal.
  3. Schedule to be release on Monday. First round to be played Wednesday through Friday. https://womensnit.com/news/2024/3/17/general-2024-postseason-wnit-field-announced.aspx If the people who set up the UB- Arizona State game in 2019 in Tulsa are in charge, UB will play South Carolina - Upstate.
  4. For those watching the MAC Championship game on ESPN2, the play by play announcer is the son of UB Football legend Larry Rothman.
  5. I would expect a lot of full court pressure from Kent State to start the game. It is something Coach Burke had to be working on with the team after what Ball State did to close the regular season and Toledo did to get back in the game in the fourth yesterday.
  6. One "statistic" that has not been mentioned when talking about the players that Hodgson brought into Arkansas State is academic. Could any of them gotten into UB and if yes, could they have handled the school work at UB to stay at UB?
  7. Do not know about Austin, but Michigan is closer to JMU than we are. I had a friend whose son went there, in part because of athletics. In his first three years he never made it into the stadium for a football game. Too much partying going on outside the stadium.
  8. My tuition was $750.00 per year (not semester) when I started. Including room and board, it was still cheaper than what my parents paid per year for 7th and 8th grade for me.
  9. Gradate students have to pay to go to games and to use facilities on campus.
  10. It looks like the UB Athletic Fee is about $480.00 per year. It is only paid by undergraduates. I have said for years it should become a mandatory fee for all graduate students. However, whenever it is brought up by the administration the current graduate students fight it. It should be implemented by adding it as a discretionary fee for current graduate students, which will allow them to opt out of and make it just another fee paid by future graduate students. They are leaving about $4,800,000.00 on the table by exempting graduate students from paying that fee.
  11. In the Northwestern case the NLRB decided to not make a finding as to whether the football players were employees. The did not get to the merits of the claim and decided to find that making a decision on the merits would not effectuate the policies of the National Labor Relations Act. The Board said that asserting jurisdiction over the football players "would not promote stability in labor relations due to the variety of state labor laws laws that would apply to football teams at state run institutions." In the long run I think that the NLRB will punt the issue again under the same theory.
  12. Except UB is a public institution and joining the Ivy League would throw a wrench into the NLRB decision involving Dartmouth. I prefer Molson Golden to either of these two. At what level do you think the Ivy League plays football?
  13. There actually is a very simple answer to all your questions. They would all be in answered in a collective bargaining agreement. In an update, the Dartmouth team voted 13-2 to join the union. What happens next is that Dartmouth will appeal and seek a decision from the full NLRB. The losing party would then have the right to appeal to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. The case could eventually reach the Supreme Court. Although a key factor in the decision so far, was the fact that the Ivy League is made up of eight private institutions. The NLRB declined to take cover the football players at Northwestern, because Northwestern was the only private college in the Big 10. The rest of the Big 10 is public universities (like UB), that are not covered by the National Labor Relations Act. Because of the amount of games that Dartmouth plays against public universities, I think the NLRB will decline to take coverage of college athletics.
  14. Just like the final two International Bowls. Back to back Bulls v. Huskies.
