Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: College basketball players are getting paid to play 3-on-3. Here’s how and where.

Everything you need to know about the how the first-ever tournament works.

Final Four weekend will introduce a new event in which players who have just finished their remaining college eligibility will be paid to play in a 3-on-3 tournament in San Antonio. It’ll be broadcast live. The event, which is sponsored by Dos Equis, has a $100,000 prize pool, and there will be multiple opportunities for everyone in the tournament to receive some type of payout. There will be 32 teams competing, made up of four players each.

Wait — college kids are getting paid?!

Yes, but technically no. The only players who can participate are those who have used their eligibility — so seniors or grad students. Players’ eligibility is officially up when they lose in the NCAA tournament (or whatever other tournament they played in). They’re no longer seen as the NCAA’s property at that point, even if they haven’t graduated from college yet.

Sounds fun. Who’s playing?

There’s a player selection committee consisting of former players and media that nominated the best departing talent across each Division I conference. They selected Duke’s Grayson Allen, Gonzaga’s Johnathan Williams, Notre Dame’s Bonzie Colson, North Carolina’s Theo Pinson and Joel Berry, West Virginia’s Jevon Carter, and more. The full list is here.

These players haven’t all been confirmed yet, though some mid-majors have.

When’s it happening?

The tournament spans three days, starting March 30 to April 1.

March 30 - 7 p.m. ET

March 31 - 11 a.m. ET

April 1 - 2 p.m. ET

What channel?

ESPN2

Where?

Bill Greehey University at St. Mary’s University.

What can they win?

There’s $100,000 to be earned in this tournament.

Each team that wins a game during what’s known as “pool play” will earn $1,000. A quarterfinal or semifinal win will also net $1,000, and the championship winner gets $50,000.

What are the rules?

  • Half court games
  • 12-second shot clock
  • Twos count as one point, and threes count as twos
  • Teams of four
  • 10 minute games or the first to 21 wins

This might be a good thing, huh?

Yep! Players getting paid to play sounds good to me.

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Jon Gruden: I Get A Ton Of Calls From Players Who Are "Dying To Come And Play Here"

The Thursday night game is Raiders-49ers, which, I’d rather die. But pregame, we get a sitdown interview with Jon Gruden (who you thought couldn’t nuke his roster any further after the trade deadline passed, but that didn’t take into account his chasing players into retirement ), conducted by his “good friend” Howie… Read more...

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Ranking Jon Gruden’s best quotes in his Raiders return, from Khalil Mack to Tom Cruise

Imagen
Jon Gruden’s return to coaching hasn’t been smooth, but he’s given us a few quotes to enjoy — especially about Khalil Mack. When the Oakland Raiders hired Jon Gruden in January, they weren’t just getting a coach — they were getting a character and the show that comes with it. After nine years as an ESPN personality, Gruden’s return to coaching has brought with it hilarious quotes on a weekly basis. And that’d be a lot more fun for Oakland if it was paired with some wins, but so far the Gruden era has mostly been losses and a skunked up locker room . Judging by his record-breaking contract , the Raiders are probably going to have Gruden around for a while, and that means we’ll have some fun press conferences along the way. So far, these are the best quotes from Gruden since his 2018 return to Oakland and it’s a list we’ll keep updating as he keeps talking: 8. Let’s throw the game back to 1998 The quote: From a meeting with reporters at the 2018 NFL Combine: “I’m trying to thro...

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Rams-Raiders betting lines and point spread updates for MNF

Imagen
The Rams paid their franchise player, while the Raiders traded theirs. That and the return of Jon Gruden highlight this Week 1 MNF matchup. The NFL opens the 2018 regular season with its annual Monday Night Football doubleheader, and the late game will feature a high profile return. The Oakland Raiders host the Los Angeles Rams in Jon Gruden’s first game as a head coach since 2008. It marks his first game coaching the Raiders since a 2002 playoff appearance. The Westgate SuperBook had one of the first lines for this game and opened the Rams as 1.5 point favorites. You could get this as low as a pick ‘em in April , but the line has changed with bettors hitting the Rams heavily. Sportsbooks are sitting at either four points or 4.5 points, according to Odds Shark . The point total is set at 49.5. This game features resolution for a pair for a pair of players given the franchise tag. The Rams agreed to terms making Aaron Donald the highest paid defensive player in the league . Shor...
