Yep, I was there. Skipped school to go all day. The Mailman and La Tech were also there in Tulsa, as well as Johnny Orr and Iowa St. From my memory, OU still had a significant home court advantage. It was a tight game, where we struggled in putting them away, but Wayman went off that game and...

I've been a donor, Tip In Club member, and had season tickets since the 2002 season, and we make the drive from Tulsa to attend. That includes games against Kansas, Texas, OSU, Alabama, Tennessee, NIT against St Bonaventure, and Wednesday night December match-ups against Alcorn State and Coppin...

Love the thought of a new arena, but from that sketch, man, going to miss the parking and access to LNC. Just from dimensions, looks tight on parking, and one main entrance/exit will be a b!tch.

in each of the questions/examples you listed, the value for the services or item is determined between the buyer/potential buyers and the seller. Not by a disinterested third party

I would agree with Boulder that Soonerscoop does not sunshine pump. A couple of their guys are actually quite cynical. Almost like they've been burned by the hopium and aren't buying it anymore. Kind of like most of us, I suppose. I also agree there should be a bit of concern with...

Wichita- I don't know about free boards, as I get my content on SoonerScoop and OUInsider, and Drumm/Thune's board. But it seems like there are reporters (George Stoia) and OU beat writers who report the same info on Twitter that they put on the pay sites. It's actually a common complaint from...

Said it before and bears repeating... We can all debate Moser's ability to manage a game, substitutions, develop players, and draw up an inbounds play. All legitimate gripes. But man, no one can argue his ability to sell his energy, vision, and OU to HS recruits and families. He's been in on...

I never stated NIL is not a contract. Legally, NIL is a contract for Name, Image, and Likeness. It is basically a contract for an endorsement. It is NOT a contract for services or performance. Not only is that in the NCAA bylaws, it was also suggested in the SCOTUS ruling, and specifically...

You mentioned a keyword- contracts or agreements for services, or performance. Most actors have unions, and that figure or value is the basis for contracts or contract values. And those don't have anything to do with what the actor makes for appearances, autographs, commercials, image on a...

Appreciate the input and perspective. But as someone who works with appraised values, wouldn't you agree that the market value (which is what fair value is) of what a buyer and seller agree to pay isn't always equal to appraised value? No one is arguing that Delliote and Touche, or any...

I see your point WT, but I think I lean toward Boulder on this one. I'm looking at a Dr J signed jersey online right now. There are a few of the jerseys that aren't even "real" Sixers jerseys and about the same price as an official jersey. Are they worth the same? Absolutely not, but market...

The optimist in me would like to think that if we are even in the mix with 3 bluebloods and 2 new bloods, all of which are known for recruiting at one time or another, it tells me we are at least in the game with NIL as far as $$. We would be falling in the top 5, top 6, or top 9 if we...

I agree with @BoulderSooner on Alec Blair. Most/all projections had Blair rated in the top 75, and we are on pick 106 starting up again here in 30 minutes. Highly doubtful that he would have already dropped approximately 30 spots with his size/skills for no reason. Plus, slot money is...

All I know is basketball has a core fanbase of 3-4 or 5K, more in conference, who show up every game, even during a year like 2017. Or Capel's last year. Football was still drawing 65K in 1998 after 4 or 5 disastrous years. This past season, softball drew 3400 fans per game. Patty talked...

yep, and as much as I enjoy seeing the success, class, and quality of the softball program, I promise you, if our program falls off, even to the level of our baseball team, the bandwagoners will jump ship fast and will be back to 4-500 fans a game. It's basically the same fans, and you'll see...
