Not sure the best place to put this, but thought it was interesting: Nebraska paying $20million in NIL This is directly from the AD, so not conjecture. It's not entirely clear if this is only football or all sports. It says "atheletes" a few times, so I think it's all sports, but gotta think the vast majority it football.

Good idea for a thread in the summer doldrums after the Pacers NBA championship: "Great basketball names/nicknames"

Probably a rhetorical question, but playing at the site of the CWS is pretty cool and Omaha turns out for CBB. Of course it's a Husker friendly crowd, but I think historically not many locations draw consistently for the league tourney. Maybe Indy is a good option? But conflicting with the 500 weekend isn't ideal.

This is what I envisioned, so get your pistols prepped! I'm fairly ambivelent about the Bison and mascots in general. I think winning teams and hot cheerleaders are a better representation of your school (not necessarily in that order.)

From the site: Excludes current paying subscribers. I tried that last year, when they offered one of these cheap deals and ran into the same thing. If you have a student in your home they offer a 'student rate' of $1.99/mo, $2.13 after taxes. My daughter used her school email to enroll (and they verified it) so that is the rate we have.

Transfer Portal w IU Interest

Yes, it needs to be taken to field out back and shot in the head. But it's still better than about 5wks ago when there was some kind of weird slam poetry thing going on. Maybe that was in the coaching thread. I've tried to block it from my memory as a traumatic event. I am still holding out hope for a late addition center. Unlikely, I know, but I can see Mich St out-rebounding this roster 82-4 resulting 116 second chance points. -

Safe to say the "playing 2 bigs" era is well and truly dead. Doesn't appear IU will even have any true bigs on the roster! -

I hope you are right! You can cook me breakfast anytime...if you know what I mean (wink, wink) -

No, I'm making wild assertions based on minimal information....like virtually everyone else. However, to make it interesting, if Bailey makes first team conference all-defensive team, I will buy you and +1 a nice meal at your local IHOP (or Dennys, if you are fancy) -

Did you really 'lol'? If so then this was all worth it! I know he is technically 6'11" but he plays defense like he's Danny DeVito so he's in the honorary sub-6'8" club. -

If there are no more "transfer portal w/IU interest" players, we have to argue about something. I'm in the camp that prefers a post defender over Leal v6.0....but all indications are that the roster is complete other than the pending Goode & Leal waivers. Hope I'm wrong. IU has a self-imposed 6'8" and under limit. :( -

I don't get it with this roster. Not a position of need. If Leal plays much then the guys we brought in aren't what we hope. If he doesn't, what's the point? I could get on board with Goode OR Leal, but both? With the lack of size, this is a puzzling move to me. -

Where is this 'list'? Just because I'm irrational, doesn't mean I don't like to be prepared for my freak outs. I can't say that I 'want' Leal back, but I wouldn't be angry about it either. I would feel much better about adding someone over 6'9" though. -

Yes it would! I would add playing smart would be refreshing. The idiotic decisions got so tiresome of the last 10yrs. It's easy to blame the coaches, and we should, but all these palyers have been playing year around basketball for 10yrs, how they could still be so dumb is mind-boggling. Tired of watching good teams take good shots and not turning the ball over constantly contrasted with IU playing below rec league level. Also FT shooting! If you are a poor FT shooter it's a character flaw, you are lazy, stupid or both. Prove me wrong. Rant over. I still want a defensive center from the transfer portal and with at least one scholarship left can't imagine how that doesn't get done. -

If we start having paternity test reveals, that would be awesome!
