Remarkably Arenas is awake from his induced coma and recovering. It sounds like smoke inhalation while trapped in the Cybertruck he was driving, rather than trauma from the crash, was the biggest issue.

Bruce Pearl steps down from Auburn.

What’s the over/under on how long it takes him to announce he’s running for Senate? Have to think that’s the only reason for this.

He'll keep the seat warm for when it's Gus Malzahn's turn, I guess. Sneaky way for Pearl to get his son named as successor too.

Will continue to happen. I think these books are good at flagging a good bit of this stuff.  Still curious how much slips under their nose.

BTW Id be good if they didnt allow betting on NCAA sports. Sure, it will happen in pro sports too but pros have a lot more to lose. They lose their whole careers. Millions. Im talking about the biggers sports at least. Smaller sports you could get to pros too. Anyway, when you are talking about these small college teams or non revenue sports I imagine its pretty easy to get to these athletes

There's speculation Clase will never pitch again. I wonder what he got out of it.

 

While I do gamble, I'd be fine shutting it all down, it can be pretty destructive to a lot of people's lives, and calls everybody's integrity into question every time there a stupid call or stupid play or something. But it'll never happen, just prints too much money for everybody.

Has been legal in most of Europe for awhile at this point. Wonder if there are as many stories of this kind of stuff over there that weve just never heard about.
