Perhaps Kerns encouraged them to test the waters and make the most of better opportunities should they present themselves but that if not, he’d welcome them back. Builds trust and loyalty with ones that do come back and shows he cares about them over his own success. I think there is another underl...

Off topic - Imagine a world in which a coach holds out for more money and pays a portion of the team's NIL money. We've seen that with assistants at other schools, why not players in this wild west era. Biff Poggi comes to mind for some reason. Don't know if it happened, but that would be the scena...

I would never ever send my kids to a college that underhandidly funneled my money to pay athletes salaries. If someone wants to throw their money away in NIL then more power to them, but if a college ever started funneling student fees to pay athlete salaries I hope they get sued into oblivion and ...

Let me just recap for some of us to make sure we are on same page. Jim Fox 5 yrs - Overall 56-99 (.361) - Conf 35-59 (.372) Best year - 2018-19 15-18 (.455), NO winning seasons, NO reg season conf championships, NO conf tournament championships, NO post season appearances. In fairness he did inheri...

Reading these, it is obvious you guys don't follow or understand the details of one's career path, everyone starting point in coaching is different, (example, Schreyer took over a castle, Coach K built the castle). Scheduling: How many NON D 1 wins does Kerns have in 5 seasons? For 2 seasons Kerns ...

Back to the portal. I really hope Marsh isn't leaving for one of these teams. https://twitter.com/CoachJonesMPB/status/1773438248095744299?t=2QtASDq-aLnrbObBdKF0Sw&s=19 We have a huge problem in college sports. There is an idea that the grass is always greener on the other side and it isn't. I thin...

Yes, let's get rid of wrestling...where we dominate...and have decent to good fan support... When we had Futbol, who showed up to watch? Consistently ranked and beating other top 25 programs. There’s only like 70 something D1 wrestling teams left for obvious reasons . Hell they don’t even have wres...

Serious question: If a player is receiving NIL money from a school and he decides to hit the portal, does the school have the right to demand reimbursement from the player? Not receiving the money from the school. Maybe the secret/solution to this is to write NIL Agreements much the same as contrac...

I think to survive this environment we must take each season as a separate entity. Nobody knows what is in store a year from now. It was a fantastic basketball season and getting to see most all games on ESPN+ was a blessing. The football season ended on a high note. I enjoyed watching every game. ...

Several F from in-state programs available in the portal.

UNCC - Milicic
ECU - Johnson
UNCG - Mikeal Brown-Jones (All-Socon)

Milicic has a lot of upside to his game. He just transferred in to UNCC from UVA--crazy times

Embarrassing for the Belt so far. No one besides Sun belt fans care that JMU is a Sun belt team. Just like our perception of the American East isn’t impacted by the fact that Vermont shows up and gets blasted every year. Nor can the casual sports fan name the conference that Florida Gulf Coast or O...

I wonder how they did the match ups. It does appear that most of them are regional in nature, though some like Princeton-UNLV don't fit the mold. If the match ups were based on seeding, App playing a #1 seed suggests we were one of the last four teams in the tournament. Which begs the question, if ...

Can get tickets early. https://godeacs.evenue.net/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/SEGetEventInfo?ticketCode=GS%3AWFU%3AB23%3ANIT1%3A&linkID=wfu&dataAccId=233&locale=en_US&siteId=ev_wfu&fbclid=IwAR00pK7n0Nzc0udJUXyGgLO1ypG4yfImNxwGIjPq0OcNOciU-dBfjDSlOK8 You've gotta love shrinking venues and surge pricing nowad...

On a NIT bracketology this morning, we are still in….. and we do not have the lowest sos….. time will tell. Yesterday, we were about 7 above the cut line on most sites. Today, we are still 4 above (and that's without any more refusals--Memphis, Ole Miss and Indiana have already said they would decl...

It seems that any construction at KBS will happen after the 105 project (which is behind schedule and over budget) and the IPF (which seems to have its own funding issues) are completed. And of course all of these should be behind keeping Kearns (which should be our top priority). The Women's Socce...

I saw today Board of governors said we had approx 8 million for East side expansion. I thought someone demanded that it was fully funded or “the money was there”? Adamant they were im sure. Soft commitments at that?!? Build more seats that’s what we need. There's plenty of room to put a third deck ...

Look at it this way, those fees are what allows the students to attend all of the games in all the sports. Without those fees the students would not attend all that many games. From an individual ticket price to all the events students can get into, that is a bargain. I'm not saying do away with th...
