Re: New WBB coach: Alaura Sharp

On the men's side, European players are much more fundamentally sound in the game of bball It's probably because they're allowed to smoke cigarettes on the bench over there. Wait...maybe that's just in the Balkans...? Yeah no tobacco products in the US. Weed on the other hand...no problem! :lol:

Re: Two minute warning, helmet comm approved

Why even play the game? We could run simulations based on the statistical inputs and watch virtual reality games. No more NIL too.

Re: Portal season (Abson, Spillers, etc)

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.

Re: Angel steps down as WBB coach

I’ll just put it all out there. YOLO Marshall WBB went and spent 60k for two recruits through NIL. That’s 30k a pop. That’s the going rate. (Janay Sanders got 25k to go to Minnesota.) The Marshall AD rolled out the red carpet for her and prioritized WBB. Caldwell’s husband was given a job on the me...

Run off tackle on 1st, pass on 2nd and 3rd. Stormed the field at the end. Yup, that's App.

Re: Portal season (Abson, Spillers, etc)

Simple question to the group. If you or your child were in a similar situation would you advise them to stay or go? And when I say situation, take out your love for App and think about in terms of your kid, who doesn’t have that same love or devotion. I’m not saying that these are sound decisions, ...

I get what you are saying. You may know more than the rest of us. This may be the " New **itty World" of college sports I am actually as in the dark as most everyone else. I know that we made offers to Abson and Spiller and both were rejected. I don’t know what they were or why they were rejected b...

This is on the construction company, not the school. No one was harmed and the situation remedied. More hyped up drama in the age of hyped up drama.

Kids are going to shoot their shot to see if money is available. Abson likely will find some. Hate it for us.

Re: MBB at Wake Forest, NIT 1st round, Wednesday, March 20, 2024, 8:00 p.m., ESPN+, LJVM, Winston-Salem, 421 Warfare

It's not beyond me. Half a mind to do it. Might be more productive to contact someone that is involved with the NIT. Leave a pair of glasses on the hood of his car. Or some new peas for his whistle. He actually is a patent holder for some new kind of whistle that minimizes air flowing out of the wh...

Re: TIGMA NIL

There will always be the 1% who get big deals and make a splash that stains the reputations of the 99% who pick up needed funds to put them on the financial level of their college student peers who come from wealthier backgrounds. Might be 5% and 95% but I won't not support the 95% because of the 5....
