It wasn't broke so they fixed it. The Supreme Court actually said it was broke, in a unanimous decision. Like it or not, in our country that means that it was broke. It is just broken more now but in different ways lol. I say that because we are still seeing legal challenges. We knew this would hap...

I am not defending anything. I was not the person of ignorance suggesting to eliminate positions or adding positions when I do not live in the athletic department. I actually have some sense of intelligence. I would never suggest adding or eliminating positions when I have not walked the hallways o...

A lot of difficult decisions being made but we have to meet our athletes payroll.

Exactly. This NIL stuff is going to cause a lot of staff reductions and force many to take a pay cut.

Equipment budget is not the first thing I think of when cutting spending in a university athletic department. I would think it would be the last place to see cuts. UVA (who you would think has enough money) makes their field hockey goalies supply their own goalie gear for use in games. Most schools...

Equipment budget is not the first thing I think of when cutting spending in a university athletic department. I would think it would be the last place to see cuts. You would think so. But they did. I do find it funny we want the equipment folks to tighten the budget a little bit and then send all t...

There is a lot of bloat in athletic departments and a lot of the bloat is with support staff. For example, look at the 9 schools my daughter talked to for field hockey. I'm using that as an example because it is a low profile sport that generate no money for the university. 2 schools (1 ACC, 1 BigT...

Sure. You know what they do on a daily basis. I know what coaches do in general and I know that support staffs and coaching staffs aren't the same everywhere. Many schools have just 4 women's basketball coaches, instead of 6. If each of the 6 are so crucial then why do many schools have less? Just ...

Something I didn’t know until yesterday is NBA teams can sign only two players to two-way contracts, increasing CJ’s chances of playing in the NBA. (He can play in a maximum of 50 NBA games next season.) The Suns had two late second-round draft picks and made it known they planned to take CJ with o...

Huntley has now signed his contract with the Suns!




They also posted his college highlights

The epitome of ignorance and "throwing sh#t at the wall" is when someone (you in this case) are completely ignorant to the responsibilities of an assistant coach...and then suggesting that the athletic department cut 1 or 2. I know what they do and because of that I know that you don't have to have...

But let's throw Sh#t at the wall out of ignorance and suggest that assistant basketball coaches should be cut.. Staff cuts are happening at schools ready and just saying that you might cut an assistant coach of a sport is not throwing stuff against the wall. There are schools like SFA cutting multi...

I think that we have decision-makers that operate with a great deal more tangible knowledge of the situation than someone that only pays attention to the sources that they value and draws conclusions and thought based on supposition. Gillin or any AD doesn’t have the time or inclination to entertai...

It wasn't broke so they fixed it. It was broken a little bit because of some of the insanity the NCAA did. They ruled with an iron fist and schools just let them. Schools should have rained them in a little bit but they just allowed it. I blame the NCAA and schools for the start of this stuff but t...

The financials provided above are pretty clear. All of the teams are a fiscal money pit. Yes people are going to pick football and men’s basketball over all of the others. That’s not a flex when pretty much everyone in America would say the same thing. The point that is being made is the revenue is...

It is a very interesting dilemma that is headed to an impasse. In the end, I believe that Title IX is going to win and here’s why. Both the Sherman Act and Title IX are federal law and they are tied to two completely different aspects of the law. The difference is that violating Title IX has a puni...

Most people I've heard don't think House is enforceable because it imposes a salary cap and forces revenue sharing, neither of which were collectively bargained. The DOJ has already made rumblings that they don't think House is legal. I hate the mess that it is. I really don't want to see Olympic s...

No one was complaining. What you took as complaining was in fact the reality of the current situation. Because it wasn’t what you wanted to hear, you called it complaining, or as others have used the term “excuses”. The “ideas” that you were asking for weren’t what you wanted to hear. To keep thing...

The Title IX lawsuits were inevitable. But they aren't going to force anything other than counter lawsuits from the revenue producers because if Title IX applies to revenue distribution then it is directly contradictory to the Sherman Antitrust Act. There can be no sharing of revenue that isn't an ...
