College Bball Thread

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Ouch!

Pat Forde Tweet --  Mark Emmert is stepping down as president of the NCAA, ending an era of ineptitude. The association's problems are far too big for him to handle -- maybe too big for anyone, but he certainly wasn't the man for the new era.

Rick Bozich Re-Tweet -- Translation: The Barney Fife of NCAA administrators is saying goodbye.

Back in 2018 Oregon was put on 2-year probation for issues in both its men's and women's bball programs.  One of the findings at that time --

"...men’s basketball coach Dana Altman failed to monitor his director of basketball operations, Josh Jamieson."

And guess who was hired by Kenny Payne today as an assistant coach.................. Josh Jamieson!

Interesting. I believe Louisville’s deal with Adidas is coming up soon. Payne has been a Nike guy forever and is obviously reaching out to Nike guys. We’ll see if they flip affiliations.

Truth

But I kind of liked Barney Fife

IU grad and former IU administrator to head up Penn State's athletic department ...

This is a major gut-punch to Calipari and UK. Jai Lucas has been the lead recruiter for every five star recruit they've gotten for the past few years. And he did this with the portal still open, rather than wait until after May1st!

MAJOR gut punch to Big Blew.

Good.  I hope they have an eternity like our last 20 years and the fleas of a thousand camels give them an itch they can't scratch.

I hope Duke, UNC, UK and more all have our past 20 years. Hubert Davis had his Mike Davis moment last month and Scheyer is on deck!

Happy trails, Vivian. 

A very, very classy lady.

This won't happen!  I would rather wish good luck on our team, then ill-will on an opposing team!

Just because we f***ed ourselves doesn't mean every other blue blood will!

Happy May day to everyone!

And IUc2016 is not a fan of Hunter Dickheadson. 

Maybe I am missing something but what does Mark Adams have to do with Shannon needing summer credits to get into Michigan? why would he be required to keep open a scholarship for shannon when shannon is the one who decided to transfer?

You are correct, Adams can’t reasonably be blamed for Shannon not taking summer courses. He can’t require that OR prevent it.

We don’t know the whole story, of course, but that’s simply not how course registration works. I know, it’s my field.

Like it’s possible it’s a cost issue, but you’d think a UM booster could throw summer tuition at Shannon if that’s all he needed. And I don’t know if that’s the case, anyway, I don’t know that Adams can just prevent his scholarship from covering summer classes out of spite.

It seems to be more of a Michigan admission issue. Like Shannon clearly didn't need summer classes to get into Illinois. So I don't think Adams, even if he knew about it, should have to cater to Shannon just to let him go to Michigan when there are plenty of other places he could go.

Movement is a laugh, but Wes Miller is no joke.
