This is going to bring a huge amount of collateral damage to college sports. If this is successful, I see no hope for the financial survival of the NCAA, which is already on the hook for $2.8 billion. I hope people are formulating a plan to administer the 22 sports other than D-1 football and baske...

This guy is ok, but he is not an nba player. Why anyone would worry that he is a one and done is beyond me. If he starts as a freshman I will be very happy.

"North Dakota transfer Tyree Ihenacho has committed to Washington, his agent Jack Lieb of Fraction told ESPN."

Never thought I would see press announcements attributed to "his agent" for kids who are still playing college ball.

He's also visiting Washington, who just paid $2 million in NIL for a transfer. :shock: The picture with this article makes it clear that this is a pond in which Davidson should never swim, and if this becomes the norm, I will stop following D-1 basketball. https://sports.yahoo.com/great-osobor-anno...

https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/40115234/amid-portal-era-calipari-hints-limiting-arkansas-roster-8-9-guys Calipari planning on 8 or 9 scholarship players. When you are funneling six figure amounts in NIL cash to each scholarship player, no point in paying dudes who won't pla...

Dont know what his thinking involved, but as an outsider, Brizzi's transfer should be in the other post thread "No limit on stupid" Bad decisions all around. He wanted to play for Jay Wright and gets talked into redshirting, transfers mid season to Davidson after a new coach takes over, gives up an...

Hooray for the A10. NCSOS was 162 and the home OOC schedule was really weak. Our best home OOC opponent was Wright State (Massey 181). Our others were 293, 290, 237, 303. W&L and Lynchburg don't count, but their Massey numbers were 699 and 1040. No wonder there are seats available. That is a putrid...

I didn't go to Davidson, so maybe i shouldn't chime in, but to all the folks who say the school should fully fund "X," I say, great, you write the check.

I believe that there are lots of schools that really do want to do lots of things, but don't have the money to do so.

A very fine player. Really hated not to see him playing down the stretch this past season. Tough way to end his career here. Good luck!

Playing at DePaul is a tough way to end your career.

One thing to remember about "D2" athletes is that with the 5th years of eligibility for D1 athletes, a bunch of kids who would have gone to a D1 school, wound up in D2. For some of these kids, they got to play right away in D2 rather than sitting on the bench in D1. I hope that Zach Laput enjoys his...

I was debating watching Final 4 games this weekend. I am somewhat limited physically since I had surgery on my hand and still have stiches. So I knew I would be watching the tube, it was just a matter of what i would be watching. My decision was sealed when I found out the games are on TBS, and sinc...

Skogman meeting with U Wisconsin. Home state, six figure NIL most likely. The other four transfers out, dont see much happening. Not a market for guards that shoot poorly and played for a 500 team If he goes there, I wish him luck. Glad he wasn't playing for them this season. JMU would have had a p...

PS about Enright. In what sector of the metaverse does the SMU job become better than Southern Cal??? ACC>BIG Ten ? Just speculating, but by changing schools the "clock" starts over again on his contract and the expectations. He hasn't really delivered the results USC was looking for when he was hi...

Jon Axel's little brother has entered the portal from Penn State. He has 3 years of eligibility. Don't know if Davidson ever had interest.
