Re: Staff Reductions Coming To ADs

The benefit to adding 'coach' to the titles of the basketball staffs is that it allows them to be on the court and touch the ball during practice. The NCAA rule changed how many 'coaches' you were allowed to have. Prior to that, I'm pretty sure even having Fey or Martin rebounding during practices w...

Re: Staff Reductions Coming To ADs

We talked about this when the house case was first settled. To quote myself, "Just so people understand what reallocating existing funds means, potentially: cutting sports, cutting staff, reducing scholarships from teams that arent football and basketball, reducing budgets (both for teams and operat...

Re: Staff Reductions Coming To ADs

I would love to see a complete list of all the duties of everyone on our staff directory page. I'm sure if we did an audit we could see that we could cut 10-15 positions in the athletics department and I am sure we have bloat in academics as well. Let's have everyone email Gillian 5 bullet points o...

Re: 2025 Baseball Mega Thread

In the last 35 years, we've had 30+ wins 9 times, two of which were 2023 and 2024 under Kermit. Six of the other 7 were in the Chris Pollard run. So we hit your goal 25% of the time. That can be the stated goal, but I think that's also going to lead to disappointment and a lot of coaching turnover i...

Re: FB Play By Play 2025

Present is a great play by play man on the BB broadcasts. Especially good with no color man. Does it very well by himself. If Witten does not return it should be Present 100%. He sounds like Jerry Seinfeld I used to agree with you, and then noticed it a lot less in this years baseball season. I don...

Re: ACC

Thanks for the clarification. It was a quick google search, and some of these contracts arent readily available, especially as all the realignment happens and some of them change, or people report numbers differently, so I appreciate it. I think my larger point isnt necessarily about the money distr...

All this talk of more money, switching conferences, etc... the problem is that the Sun Belt media deal is absolute trash and Gill got bent over at the negotiating table.

I trust mine more than I trust yours. But I'm not going to get into a source measuring contest with you over something that is completely irrelevant at this point.

Maybe it would have changed as the season progressed, but when he enrolled, the plan was for him to redshirt. Thats not being a debbie downer. Nor did I call him a superstar.

Re: MBB vs Marshall Sat, 2/22 1:00pm

Was always the plan to redshirt this year, regardless of the injury. Not sure why people on here think he was some magic elixir that we're missing out on this year. Remember that European that got hurt before the season. He actually may have found the players to pull it off, it just didn’t work out....

Re: Onto the Next

Fun fact: Bowl game payouts are distributed to the conference who then distribute it evenly between all the schools in the conference. Instead of losing money going to bowls (travel, housing, food, etc) App actually probably comes out on the plus side by not making a bowl. (NOT THAT THIS IS A GOOD T...
