    Pike presser ending statement thoughts.

    This isn't anywhere near the bottom. Think about this team and now think about it where you replace the three or four best players with a bunch of freshmen and bottom of the portal scraps. The thing about the portal era is that you can build up quickly but when things go bad they go real bad...

    Pike presser ending statement thoughts.

    Dude is a dead man walking. It might take a year or even three because Rutgers admits are way too forgiving but ultimately he blew a once in a lifetime opportunity and people will notice. At any real program he would have been gone yesterday evening.

    Pikes brilliant strategy

    To be fair the team the next year had also good and then blew it in round 2 in a year where the bracket would have been favorable to make the elite 8 had they won. Back then people said - oh don't worry. We'll be back, we're just getting started.

    OT: Ben Johnson fired

    Pike was a miracle worker. Then NIL and the portal hit and now he's not. Nice cbssports article today about how Rutgers had the worst high major portal class this year. Gonna be a rough few years to say the least.

    The Dylan and Ace Effect.

    Births peaked in 2008 in the US and NJ, so you would expect that come 2026 you will in fact start to see an overall dropoff in applicants.

    The Dylan and Ace Effect.

    The "enrollment is recovering from the steep decline during COVID" effect.

    Brett McMurphy reports that FSU and group of 7 ACC Schools are exploring breaking the grant of rights agreement they have with the ACC

    I mean, their downfall is being a bunch of mostly middling to bad football schools with modest fan bases in smaller markets. The rest is just the inevitable results of that.

    Geo Baker

    This has been coming for decades. The previous state - of everyone pretending that a multi billion dollar industry was just a mom and pop shop who's employees should accept college credits as payment was untenable in the long run and its good that it finally broke. The NCAA would have been...

    Portal and NIL Mercenizes College Sports

    Which is good. Ultimately, colleges shouldn't be running major minor league sports leagues. At some point that system - a multi billion dollar industry predicated around the idea that these are just students who happen to be good at sports playing for the love of the game - had to break.

    Big Ten Schools ranked academically by US News for 2022-23

    Also, there is some difference - UDel is decent sized, but not UMD/Rutgers/PSU big.

    Big Ten Schools ranked academically by US News for 2022-23

    Big Ten Schools ranked academically by US News for 2022-23

    UW used to be considered one of the 2nd tier publics after like UCLA, UVA, Michigan, UNC, etc. Now its down in 3rd tier with us.

    $75k for Reiber?!?

    Its totally believable that this could happen in a world where salaries are totally separated from profitability and are entirely about vibes. If I were a multimillionaire alum of some low major school, would I toss a fraction of a percent of my wealth at a talented basketball player just for a...
