I like Sielski - though not enough to invest in hopping over the Inquirer paywall - but it was revealing that the image they placed with the article was Villanova 85. Was probably due to local interest but I don't consider an 8-seed from a power conference (or NC St, a 6-seed in 1983) to be true Ci...

I genuinely want to remain hopeful, but I feel like the wheels are about to come off. Like, a complete tear-down and rebuild.

Wow - thanks for that, guys. Adam, "pyramid scheme" was precisely what to came to my mind after reading those two articles. An Amway huckster running a college. I hope the good residents of High Point can sustain their resolve, and outlast the money being waved around.

From that article: "Though he refers to himself as “Dr. Qubein,” the master’s is his highest degree; he’s received only honorary doctorates." I don't care what credentials a person does or doesn't have. But what does ...

Got to find some way to spend that $44 million operating surplus from 2023 (2024 numbers have not been released). Would someone with genuine insight into how HPU operates and what it's all about be willing to send me some bullet points in a PM? I know that there is *something* about that place that...

An article by Amelia Collins emphasizes the assistant GM role much more than the money concludes with And the irony of it all? The same school that once ignored by major college programs is now poised to become a prime recruiting destination—simply because Stephen Curry is in the building. His infl...

Yes, and three of the four on the road (it's fair to say Indy was a road game for us against Purdue). At worst, it was 2 road, 1 neutral and 1 home, with the home game only existing because of that mid-major thing arranged by/for espn. That's another hilarious part of the equation, isn't it? "Neutr...

The probability of multiple HoF posts occurring on this thread is looking very strong in the early going.

My office here in Freeport is (among other things) the Rec Department for our community. The number of young kids I've seen give up all sports except for one is impressive. There are so many chances to develop different skills, try out new things, enjoy new friends and teammates... and yet many par...

No loosha’s lad you are entitled to your flawed opinions just not your own facts. So you don’t get to post another long argument than declare that any further discussion here is inappropriate. At no point in this back and forth has Slowcat been bullied or told to be quiet. Because her commentary wa...

Maine plays Bryant for the American East Championship Saturday at 11:00 AM. Maine has never gone to the NCAA Tournament. Securing a bid would help their chances of being invited to join the A10. Has there actually been discussion about Maine trying to crack into the A10? That used to be their footb...

I can’t tell you all how tired I am of the banal canard that all white men are evil racists who when given power hire only whites. That blanket generalization is itself evil. I don't think that's the argument that's being made. The statistics about opaque hiring processes don't lie - the beneficiar...

Read the first chapter of Range, a book on the generalist vs specialist debate. Roger Federer did not take up tennis full time until he was 16. Tiger Woods took golf up full time when he was 2. Talks about both the mental and physical aspects of Federer’s career length vs. Tiger. Tom Glavine used t...
