I love that big 10 admin will be like “this is ridiculous!” Then pay a coach $30MM+ buyout for failing at his job

I mean they will say it is ridiculous but still do it as well. Because winning gets them more money in return.

From a very reliable source was told that he had serious academic issues at WCU. They "somehow" found a way to keep him eligible to play.
Will be the same at UNC.

Re: Portal time 25-26
Regular students don't really seem to need to go to class these days. Not many professors teach too much, everything is in the books and in online recordings/zoom meetings. I want refunds on the amount I'm paying for UNCCH right now.
For the most part this applies to my master's classes online through App as well. When I started in '22 the classes were actually taught, now they are much more likely to be "read the book and take the quiz/exam".

Re: Portal time 25-26
Just one person's opinion here, I do believe some information/learning is lost by not having live interaction. It is just more interactive. Goes to workplace...live meetings are always better to me than Teams meetings.biggie wrote: ↑Mon Feb 16, 2026 1:00 pmRegular students don't really seem to need to go to class these days.

Re: Portal time 25-26
Yes, even meeting online in person with open discussion is much better. I've had 2-3 classes more at the beginning that met online once a week. They felt like you were learning more. Wished I could just be not working and living in up there to be in person for all classes. Darn responsibilities.BambooRdApp wrote: ↑Mon Feb 16, 2026 3:01 pmJust one person's opinion here, I do believe some information/learning is lost by not having live interaction.

Re: Portal time 25-26
Be nice to see combination of transfers and incoming freshmen combined list and how teams rank with combination.

Re: Portal time 25-26
We're ranked 65 combined on 247. The 5 in front of us are Cincinnati, BC, Iowa St, Boise St and Kansas. The 5 behind us are UNLV, UCF, Wisconsin, Duke, and Memphis.BambooRdApp wrote: ↑Thu Feb 26, 2026 1:53 pmBe nice to see combination of transfers and incoming freshmen combined list and how teams rank with combination.

Re: Portal time 25-26
Are talking number of total number kids coming in that are either a transfer or a new freshman. Not talking about our ranking in terms of how good we rated. Just talking about how many new players have to acclimate to App. St. as new players.NattyBumppo'sRevenge wrote: ↑Thu Feb 26, 2026 2:00 pmWe're ranked 65 combined on 247.

I would like to see which teams have the combination of both in just pure numbers.
