Beer & Wine Sales Football Season

Citronaughty
So I get that a big perk behind the Cabana and Stadium Club seating is the ability to purchase alcohol. However, has there been any talks of expanding solely Beer and Wine sales to the entirety of the stadium and leaving liquor for the premium seating options?

I figured they were testing this out with this past baseball season. Didn’t know if it would lead to anything for football season, perhaps.

Speed to the ball...

KnightVision82
What's going to make or break this team over the next 2-3 years is our speed to the ball on defense. With those on our teams and those coming in hopefully we will have an incredible ability to have the extra gear of getting to the ball on defense. This will make the greatest difference to getting the team back to the 13-0 place we were before. The defense could will the ball back into the hands of the offense because of their speed and ability to get to the ball.

Somewhat OT: Pitt LB exposes illegal NIL offers to him.

Knightfootball
Pitt LB spurned NIL offers

How wild did it get for Dennis this offseason? He said he deflected offers from two schools that tried to entice him to transfer.
“I had a couple (contacts),” he said. “I wasn’t worried about it. I’m here now, so …”
Dennis declined to identify the schools, and for a good reason, he said. “That’s an NCAA violation,” he said of schools contacting him, even though his name never appeared in the portal.
“I respectfully told them that what they were trying to do is illegal and it could, actually, ruin my eligibility. If they wanted to talk to me, I would have to have been in the portal already.”
So why did he stay when so many others across the nation have changed addresses, including former Pitt wide receiver Jordan Addison, who took his Biletnikoff Award to USC.
“For me, the reason is I created a bit of legacy here,” said Dennis, who earned second-team All-ACC recognition last season. “I’m almost done with my degree (criminal law), which is the first thing I want to check off my list.
“Right now, I want to keep the main thing the main thing and that’s Pitt football. I have a lot of friends on this team, a lot of family on this team and a lot of young guys who look up to me. If I made that move, how would that look in their eyes? It was a lot that came into play, but mostly it was my love for Pitt football.”

Kudos to this guy for being loyal to his team but I think you'll find he'll be the exception to the norm as these back door contacts continue to happen to any player that has breakout seasons on teams that don't have bottomless NIL donors.

What a crazy story. Looks like they are coming out with a documentary about the 4 time Gold medal winning Olympian Mo Farah (which is apparently not even his real name)! Shoutout to his PE teacher who kept his secret and contacted social services to free him from servitude.

OT: WAC basketball tournament seedings won't be decided by league record, it'll be decided by "the computers"

The Western Athletic Conference is changing how it seeds its postseason basketball tournaments by introducing an intrepid, evolutionary concept to the sport. The 2022-23 season will see the WAC's men's and women's basketball standings be determined not just by conference wins and losses, but also an algorithm that rewards and/or punishes based off performance against all teams they face in the regular season.

In what's believed to be a first in the history of college sports: a conference will seed its postseason tournament based on advanced analytics.

WAC commissioner Brian Thornton and associate commissioner Drew Speraw, both former basketball coaches, are the architects of the idea. They commissioned Ken Pomeroy -- proprietor of KenPom.com -- to concoct a reliable formula that would accurately reflect the achievements of WAC teams from early November until right before the WAC basketball tournaments begin in March.
