We were talking at the bus stop today, and both of our neighbors who were Pitt season ticket holders learned today that they had each chosen not to renew their season tickets.  They have both owned for 15+ years, and one played for Pitt, and then was a GA there.  These were 15+ year PITT season ticket holders.  One upped his donation when he was emailed about retaining Jordan Addison, and they still lost him.  It's hilarious that the only thing keeping college sports afloat is the giant fan bases of a handful of schools, who mostly didn't attend the school.  They are banking on a bunch of people buying into something that is equivalent to being a die hard Toledo Mud Hens fan or a die hard IMG fan, for no actual reason.  Just rooting for random success of minor league teams or schools you didn't attend.  Because the actual alums of 95% of D1 schools are out

Realignment moves announced on May 10.

Missouri St is moving up to G5 CUSA from FCS MVFC and non-football MVC.

Grand Canyon U.  And Seatle U.  Moving from WAC to WCC.

This leaves the non-football MVC with 11 teams and FCS MVFC with 10 teams.

The WAC seems to be falling apart (Again).  Seatle moving to the WCC suggests that Gonzaga,  Ore St,  Wash St may not be staying in the WCC much longer.  Maybe a move to the MWC or PAC/MWC merger is coming

ESPN College GameDay chooses location for Week 1 of 2024 season (247sports.com)

A&M-ND. OK.  I once would semi-watch GD, perhaps thinking their "picks" might be magically better than my own, or those here.  They weren't of course.  I've learned that different kinds of picks by humans are often flawed, and perhaps correct only by luck in many instances.

Stock picks
Wine picks
Beer picks
Picks on best city for whatever 
Athletic picks on whatevers

They are good for clicks, and not much else.  The stock pick item, to me, is self correcting anyway, if enough investors followed whatever guru was extant.

Well, wine/beer/"best city" are all matters of taste. Even "best city" which may be based on objective metrics, the choice of which metrics are used and how they're weighted is subjective. 

Stock picks or athletic pics are a right/wrong question. If you say a stock is going to go up and it goes down, you picked wrong. If you say ND is going cover vs A&M and A&M beats the spread, you picked wrong.

IMHO there are two very different classes of "picks".

A lot of stock "gurus" will further claim X is about to go up a LOT, rather than just up, or that the market is headed for a real break out, or break down.

By X, I don't mean US Steel.

Anyway, they are all examples of "experts" telling us what to think and believe.

Fair enough. I can imagine if you're extending on up/down to the analysts who not only issue buy/sell/hold ratings but also give price targets, I get you.

I've noticed that when a stock has been increasing, all the analysts predict it's going to keep increasing, and when it's decreasing, they predict it's going to keep decreasing. I don't find them to nearly ever pick a top or bottom.

I find it mildly comical looking at this table that Arizona, Arizona State, BYU, and Utah are all together or about to be together in the expanding B12.  They were all conference mates from 1962-1978 in the WAC.  By my reading of this chart:
  • 1962-1978 All four were in the WAC.  
  • 1979-1999 BYU and Utah in the WAC, Arizona and ASU in the P10.  
  • 2000-2012  BYU and Utah in the MWC, Arizona and ASU in the P10.  
  • 2012-2022  Arizona, ASU, and Utah in the P12, BYU in the WCC.  
  • 2023 Arizona, ASU, and Utah in the P12, BYU in the B12
  • 2024-?  All four in the B12
Together again!

When I'm in the gym alone (which is usual), I turn on CNBC.  They have their "experts" who say this and that about whatever.  At times, one will opine that "X" has run up too much too fast and is ready for a downturn, or "Y" is beaten down too much and is a good turnaround candidate.  

I'm convinced these guys are no better than chance, really.  Maybe there have been a handful who could beat the market over time, but they are very very rare, in public anyway.  I can recall when John Templeton was The Guru of the time, now it seems to be the aging Oracle of Omaha (who isn't really a stock picker).

It's not as if one can watch CNBC all day and get great advice and beat the market.
