  1. Just put it this way, if you take all the top players from the power 6 conferences out of the college game. If the top players in college basketball were bench players from power 6 conferences or the top mid major players . If those players were at the blue blood programs and were winning you would still see the same attendance and viewership.
  2. In college sports the name on the front of the jersey is the product. Players come and go but the one constant is the name of the school.
  3. If this story is true about the agent and this is what we are in for them changes need to be made. I just wish they let anyone who isn't interested in going to college just let them go to the NBA or the G league. I wouldn't care if all the top 50 players in a class goes pro. I just want some resemblance of the college game I loved. Nobody made these kids go play college basketball and they seem entitled thinking they deserve the whole world. M Maybe I should go to the CEO of my fortune 500 company and let them know I deserve a bigger piece of the pie. Since I am the one out there doing a lot of the work I should get as much as the CEO.
  4. Still say things like this will eventually bring an end to college sports. It is coming to a point where I care less and less about the game. It has happened to me with the NBA where the last 15 years I rarely watch games besides the Pacers. I have probably watched a total of less than a half hour of this year's playoffs.
  5. I think he just read my post on HSN stating I was getting a UL vibe in this recruitment. With Rabby saying UL is the favorite should make us feel better about our chances in this recruitment.
  6. Official visits usually are for 48 hours. Get there late Friday and leave sometime Sunday
  7. I figured we were already in the game since he is visiting

    They got Boogie Ellis at the shooting guard so I doubt Bronny will start on the back court

    Don't look like this writer think much of the IU football program. https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-football/2023/05/138649/crumblin-down
  15. I have no idea but isn't official visits usually 48 hours
  16. I was just wondering if the big time donors will have to choose to donate money for facilities or NIL. Even for the ultra rich you have to think there is a limit they would want to donate. Wonder if it is more important to donate money for the NIL to help get players. The problem is if your facilities are lacking then you don't get the top players.
  17. What is over the visit or the recruitment
  18. Nope didn't bother me at all since the players was making over $50,000 a year the whole time.

    Anthony Thompson finished second in tbe Heisman under Mallory. I can't believe anyone thinks how he handles himself on the side line sees a poised HC. How many other power 5 conference HC do you see acting lole him on tbe side line. I don't think I ever saw Saban run up to a player and head butt him with player having a helmet on.

    A lot less bowl games back then and less Jan 1 games. When I was growing up there were 5 New Year day bowl games. Rose,Sugar, Cotton, Orange, Fiesta
  22. I know this is what college sports is about today but it makes me sick to my stomach. It just seems so wrong to me that college sports is about the college that has the best NIL.
  23. He is visiting this weekend and someone said it is graduation weekend on Bloomington. Hopefully some good weather with a lot of activity on campus

    I just know the last few years watching the SEC and big 12 and the type of Ayers in those conferences. I then look at IU and the big ten and it is totally different game. I see those teams having long athletic wings and forward and don't see much of that here. We seem to be getting better in that category with Ware,Walker,Banks,Gunn and Newton. If we can get Mgbako that would get us to the point that we can compete athletically with those teams.
  25. I also think Newton when healthy is really good as well
