Re: Will NIL and Sugar Daddy program supporters ruin college basketball

The NCAA should focus its attention on wrapping up that investigation of KU and Adidas, which they'll probably do by finding it was just an NIL and Adidas isn't a booster.

Re: Weber for West Virginia

I was gonna suggest Beard but I see he has landed in Mississippi. Maybe WVa would be a little queasy about jumping from this frying pan into that fire. The NWMo guy sounds perfect and you like to see guys like that get this kind of opportunity, instead of retread former head coaches (Sorry Bruce, yo...

Re: other schools' coaching news and stuff ...

Self succeeded in running out the clock. The Adidas cheating looks penny-ante in the NIL era. If it's still in the NCAA filing cabinet it's in the bottom drawer. If there ever was a day that coming down hard on Kansas seemed possible, it has passed. This new era probably builds in an advantage for a...

Re: What Did The Loss To FAU Cost KSU?

KJ foul trouble was a huge factor, bit...he needed to be extra cautious, and he wasn't. Don't give the refs a good
opportunity to make a marginal (to be charitable) call.

Re: Tang Visit to FAU Locker Room

Nobody's a bigger Bruce fan than me. But what does that have to do with it? I have a hard time seeing how the visit is a negative thing. Just we respect you, good luck. Godspeed. I'd take that over the post-game-loss conduct of Calipari (typically incompetent like everything else about him except hi...

Re: PACK MAN

I shut it off at the half b/c Texas was so dominating. Guess I should have stayed. On the money issue I wouldn't
want to bet that Miami's payroll is higher than Texas'.

Re: Florida Atlantic Owls

Hard to recognize them. Nowell playing hero ball. Like he's read his clippings. Keyonte needs to be involved. I suppose D is the reason but when they can't get a bucket why isn't Massoud in there? They have NO offense just Nowell running back and forth and throwing crap up there. Very disappointing ...

Re: NCAA Tournament

To PDave's point about Pack and Nowell co-existing. In this as in all else my memory is foggy, but I don't recall Nowell doing a whole lot of penetrating and dishing last year. My memory is more of him saying out there in the foothills of the Ozarks and launching (and making) 3s. Maybe they were bot...

Re: Portal dreaming

The grass is always greener. I can see the portal slowly (or rapidly) turning into a complete zoo in which you have to re-recruit your own team every year. The apparent bond b/t Tang and his players would certainly be a key to navigating these waters--as much to keep the guys you've got as to attrac...
