🧐THE SKEPTICSNo prominent dissent — the coverage runs one way.

The analytical counter: rankings, results and 'the hype is ahead of the tape' takes.

Nothing in our corpus yet — this door stays open for when there is.

😈THE RIVALSThe rest of the league is watching — rival reaction lands here.

Schadenfreude is half the fun. Cross-fanbase capture (rival boards / opposing beats) isn't wired into the corpus yet — this door fills when it is.

Nothing in our corpus yet — this door stays open for when there is.

💬THE BOARDS4 board mentions — too thin to call a stance.

Only 4 of 14 board posts mention it — below our floor to call a community stance. Shown as texture, not a verdict.

"What are the best locations for housing on campus and in university place? Transfer student btw."
r/CCU fan
"Hey, I’m a business management transfer student trying to choose between Coastal Carolina University and the University of North Carolina Wilmington. They’re around the same price "
r/CCU fan

The boards ≠ the fanbase: a vocal, self-selected slice. Per-event for/against lands when event-level sentiment coverage is wired.

💰THE MARKETNo live market on the box yet — nothing to price the reaction against.

We don't carry a live win-total / playoff / Heisman market on the box yet. When it's wired, the pre→post line move sits here.

Nothing in our corpus yet — this door stays open for when there is.
