Losing the facility at any university in 2020-2024 could be a badge of honor. Let's just say from a thought perspective they aren't a diverse group.

It may go back a bit further…

Very true.

Interesting view from someone who has insight into Everts' role in the Sun Belt: https://csnbbs.com/thread-989713-post-19565540.html#pid19565540 Did i ever see Thomas, borkowski or Wey at any athletic events...much less in the gravel stadium lot? People focus on the wrong stuff sometimes and assign...

People that care about research designations and US News rankings are part of the higher education ecosystem.

Even if we get a Borkowski?

SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!!!

I believe this still counts as being civil as I would now used more colorful language. :D

Just under 50% of our two deep in 2024 will be transfers. That will be the new norm under the current structure, I predict that percentage to get higher actually. https://www.ourlads.com/ncaa-football-depth-charts/depth-chart/appalacian-state/92913 For QBs I'd put 4-5 offers out there on guys that w...

Basketball is likely just 1-2 years ahead of football, going to get weird next offseason if not regulated in some shape or form.

I think both sides of this are right for their own reasons.

In general the NIL is a net negative for mid-major/G5 programs.

We locked the doors of our apartment three times a year in Boone during my time, Thanksgiving, Christmas, spring break.

The lack of common decency today is troubling and are making me sound like my grandfather.

Am I the only one that isn't going to pull for players when they leave App? I'm not rooting against them, but I don't feel any lingering ties to a player that transfer.

I'll caveat that with the exception of grad transfers.

The lower level athletes will struggle or become extinct before the power conferences feel any level of “hurt”. Unintentional consequences

We are talking about amateur athletes getting paid $25-$100k (on top of a $25k scholarship and $6k stipend annually) to play in front of maybe 5k people and on ESPN+ with less than 30k viewers. I recommend reading that sentence out loud to realize how crazy and unsustainable this is for anyone outsi...

UNCheat fans hate when the decades of fraud is brought up.

There is no comeback and comments like rent free just make the deflection attempt worse.

Congrats to UConn the best modern era basketball program in the nation.

It would literally take an act of congress for something like that to form, the powers (really the top two conferences) have a straggle hold on the sport for the foreseeable future.

Fun to discuss at a bar or message board, but that's the extent of it.

Relegate all programs by geography. Five conferences of 12 based upon traditional P5 lines, five G5 conferences, and every year the bottom/top 2 flip. It would make every game in November so much fun. So you are suggesting a partnership with say the SEC and SBC and a MAC with BIG situation? Correct...

Williams HS probably a better fit at Wake…
