I probably won't get a wink of sleep until the news drops.

Hearing that there will be some massive, massive college basketball news coming down this week. Potentially as early as Tuesday. Buckle up …

Wonder what this could be. Scandal? Someone retiring? Making the NCAA tournament 256 teams? Making Ted Valentine the head of officiating?

Isn’t this a bit where they announce who’s in that tournament they run?

In an effort to remove the stain of embarrassment from the new Purdoo AD, they will be expunging all five NCAA titles and all three Helms Bread Bakery titles from Indiana University’s permanent record.

Anyway, Dauster ought to be pretty wired in so this should be interesting.

Mark Pope elected Pope? “NCAA Basketball” mentioned in Epstein files? Calipari indicted as head of Bluegrass and Tyson mafia? Hurley revealed to be AI construct? LeBron using eligibility to play for Penn while earning degree from Wharton?

When USPS starts busting out this stuff is when we know the season is just starting to come over the horizon.

I like my ideas more. 

[Home Jersey]

Seth Trimble to Louisville. Big pick up for them. 

[Demo]

Given that he’s been living in Provo all summer and working out with the BYU kids combined with the seemingly unlimited Mormon jack, I’m gonna go out on a limb here…..

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Seth Trimble to Louisville. Would love to know the cost of that roster.  

[Pagoda]

Louisville is running a huge athletic dept deficit.  I don’t see how they grow their way out of this problem. I wonder how much longer they can pump money into bball… a sport which they probably don’t even make money on anymore given the explosion in roster cost.  We’ll see.

If you’re feeling a little self-loathing today and looking for a reason to jump off the nearest bridge but can’t quite work up the gumption, here’s an Archie Miller interview for you.

They're sinking in a sea of red debt. I hope they go bankrupt.

An athletic department that files for Chapter 11? Not sure it's plausible, but UL would be the one that will try.

Louisville will be the school that gets sued for a mid season transfer portal for the players who don’t get their revenue share payments

One of the funniest things I’ve seen in a minute. 
“Yo, you took 24 shots, Bro.” “I thought he was joking.” “No, deada$$.”
