Would Ivy League schools like Harvard and Yale rule sports? They could put a ton of money towards sports if they wanted to. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

If the MH had to fund everything themselves they wouldn't exist. Athletic programs around the country are ran on the money that football and basketball make. That is if they actually make profit. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

Ingram and Simmons will go 1 and 2 in some order. Probably followed by Kris Dunn, Dragan Bender, Jamal Murray... whoever else. This is a top heavy class by far. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

The basketball system would basically need to be recreated from CBB down. The NBA would eventually gain some sort of control over the "college game." They wouldn't want a minor league with such different rules. The HS and AAU systems are just terrible anymore. Kids move to different schools every year and AAU basketball is just garbage and doesn't teach anything except to shoot a lot. There would have to be a massive revolution that some old people would truly hate. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

If we gave it a free market without a cap... to just throw money at recruits... I think Harvard could rule the world. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

So like a league with teams sponsored by the schools? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

I think if we were going to pay players.. then what a player is paid is set by their recruiting ranking. And every school in D-1 has the same salary cap. So obviously smaller schools will use much less. Making it to where have to think hard on how they recruit the big guns and the less heralded guys.

You have to look under UConn to notice the progress women's basketball has made. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

That is CBB now. It is isn't the 70's or 80' or 90's. Kids now want to go to the NBA. Why shouldn't they? Why should a college coach be trying to keep kids from going and playing with the best in the world? Cal recruits kids by telling them they're going to the NBA quick. Tyler Ulis told Cal he wanted to be at UK for 4 years. Cal told him he wouldn't recruit him if that was the case. I find that ok. He wants to see kids succeed at the next level. Isn't that what college is about? Working to be a professional? And the NBA says you have to be one year removed from HS. If you think "being a Hoosier" means to recruit 4 year players only then that is your opinion. Honestly that obviously hasn't worked in 30 years so it seems something needs to change.

I want Oregon to win it all but I chose UNC to do so. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

UConn women's is winning 91-26 right now. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

Good post... until after that last comma. Because that is 100% wrong. Have you ever seen Russell Westbrook? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

If we have another year like 13-14 or 14-15 then he needs to be kicked to the curb. End of story. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

We could be really good next year. Returning: OG, Juwan, JBJ, RJ, Hartman Possible returnees: Williams, Bryant Coming in: Newkirk, Davis, Jones, Green, Gelon Leaving: Yogi, Max, Z If Williams and Bryant come back then we're a Top 15 team next year and would be an inside based team. If Williams and/or Bryant leave then good luck to them. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

Gonna miss watching him play. He was a beast. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

I don't know what to tell you if you didn't expect this. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

Well I figured we'd lose by double digits. This team just isn't healthy enough. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

Notre Dame for sure. We beat them when we sucked lol. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

Whoever takes the Pitt job is accepting mediocrity.

They aren't worries about that. Not with the rise in international talent and seniors coming out each year.

They invite about 60 every year. They won't raise it. If someone doesn't want to participate then they add someone. But those not participating are normally locks in the lottery.

they were fair. Classy. It was a good game. Didn't end in any hateful way. Cal was classy afterwards. It was nice.

I was 8 during that run in 2002 and in the 2nd grade lol. So I was happy of course. Careless in how I thought. Just thought we'd win every game. I don't remember a whole lot really. At 8 I was "watching" the game. But I was happy. Now I'm happy yet cautious.. I don't want to get my hopes up because I know what is coming Friday will be the toughest game we've played in years. It'll be the biggest game we've played in years... but still happy.

I think Troy will be leaving. Bryant needs to work way too much on his pick and roll defense. But I think he'll test the waters. Emmitt could come back. Would be pretty cool. Give us some needed depth down low. Someone that will work their azz off too.

I was able to find this. But you do have to listen to the UK radio peeps. https://youtu.be/rswnzS6N6Qo
