SMU, a C-USA team in Utah's Pac12 era, made it to the ACC.

AltTabbins 4th string walk-on armchair QB

5:12pm

They were the AAC. Not CUSA.

HimmerFredette

5:15pm

They were Conference USA until 2014. Which overlapped with Utahs Pac12 invite in 2011.

AltTabbins

5:16pm

Sir, where do you think the American Athletic Conference came from?

TCuz

5:18pm

The CUSA is still a thing. Some of the AAC teams came from the big east

HimmerFredette

5:18pm

The ACC is kinda desperate right now so it's a worse option than the Big12

5:16pm

Not a worse option for utah's snobby academic elitism. 😂

Apple App Store question about fraudulent apps

Dan

The service? No, not necessarily. They vet the app. Not necessarily the entire business model.

supertux

There’s somewhat of an approval process but it’s possible for something to slip through

Nope. Apples quick to fix it though. There was an app that instantly opened up your wallet, and tried to charge you $200

HimmerFredette

If not drafted, will for sure be signed as an UDFA

Huge Manatee

The only reason any team would entertain the idea of drafting Bronny

pigfoot

No, tonight is just the first round

RealTaysomHill

Is Bronny the North West of the NBA?

SBB

He is a developmental 3&D athletic guard. No reason not to use a 2R pick

Some UU fans were claiming that, but IIRC they signed just like everybody else

cougarmeister

I think they can leave with no penalty by June 1st or 30th

paulb

I'd pay them to leave.

Abe Froman

4:49pm

They negotiated an exception. Here’s the language of the exception:

Everyman

4:50pm

What does that exception mean?

TheHop

4:55pm

It means absolutely nothing, just some slight difference in verbiage

tacallaway

4:59pm

I have no idea; the author is also befuddled.

Everyman

4:59pm

That is ASU.

Carnac

4:57pm

Oh, I see it now.

Carnac

4:58pm

The author includes Utah’s exemption; about halfway down the article.

Everyman

4:58pm

But that's not a TV GOR.

Niiineteeen84

5:00pm

Correct, it has no impact on the GOR or exit fees.

tacallaway

5:02pm

So they can leave by Sunday?

Carnac

4:59pm

RE: So they can leave by Sunday?

AltTabbins

Of course not. The point of the post was evaluating potential. I believe throws such as those 2 timestamps,

AltTabbins

Entering June, Kyle Higashioka was hitting .157 with a .314 slugging percentage

mannheimadler

4:36pm

On the season I think he has 8 HRs and 7 singles. The rest are doubles (about 4)

Dan

4:45pm

He has good power when he randomly decides to hit. He had a very random 3 HR game a few years ago

Phew, that's a lot of money

Huge Manatee

4:18pm

I think it’s a decent amount less than the max. He did the Knicks a favor here.

TCuz

4:29pm

Looks like his max was $245/5 or $49M/year. He took $42.5M/year

Huge Manatee

4:37pm

The stars on supermaxes are getting close to $70m in some years, so yah probably.

TCuz

4:41pm

He will probably be in the high 50's at the end of the deal, I'd guess

Huge Manatee

4:44pm

Didn't even have to give him a no-trade clause? Fleeced.

Rumor is that Bridges will sign an extension as well.

I think people would expect to buy their own charcoal

Babyboy

Do you have a property manager that can swap out the tanks?

Carnac

The Airbnb, that we stayed at last, had a natural gas grill connected to the townhome. Much better that way since

ManicBlue

4:14pm

Is natural gas an option?

Cletus the Fetus

4:14pm

Unfortunately, there’s no gas on that street so it has to be propane or charcoal

Babyboy

5:11pm

You could have a grill with a connector that accepts those small propane canisters. Then people can just buy their own.
