When Dallas Maverick owner Mark Cuban said he was making an alternative to the controversial BCS system, not many people took him seriously. But the notorious NBA owner is taking steps to create a competitor to the college bowl game system.
Cuban registered the corporation Radical Football in his home state of Texas, which would provide colleges the option of entering a playoff system instead of the current one bowl game system. The colleges would be paid directly by Radical Football.
Cuban is using his billions he made in the late nineties, when he sold his internet company to Yahoo!, to create the radical playoff system. A playoff system in a sport… who would have thought?
Gilbert Arenas was served child support papers during halftime of Thursday’s Orlando Magic-Miami Heat game. The California petition was filed by Arenas’ ex-girlfriend and baby mama, Laura Govan. Govan, who is also pregnant with Arenas’ child, claims she was cut off financially from the NBA bad boy and is seeking $109,000 a month in child support or $1.3 million annually.
After the game Arenas’ said: “I don’t pay much attention to it because this is who she is as a person… It’s sad that it has to be in the public’s eye. She gets money. I mean when a girl asks for $100,000 a month and you say no, that doesn’t mean you’re cut off. You’re still getting 20. … That’s the thing that bothers me. She tells the world that she’s not getting money. She gets $20,000 a month.”
$20,000 or not, it looks like you got served!
