    POLL: NIL$$$ and Transfer Portal

    No, I'm not saying I'm not combining endorsements and pay as an employee. What I am saying is a school should be able to negotiate a multi-year contract with a player just like other organizations do and those players would be free to sign NIL agreements with outside entities. Most people...

    POLL: NIL$$$ and Transfer Portal

    So you think it would be taking away a player's rights if a school offered a 2 year scholarship with an option for a 3rd year just like the NBA? They could offer NIL in increasing increments, ie they could pay $150,000 for the first year, $250,000 for the second year and $500,000 for the third...

    POLL: NIL$$$ and Transfer Portal

    I would like to see them adopt a pay structure similar to what the NBA has and adapt it to NIL. The players could be evaluated and paid according to that evaluation. If a player has an evaluation in the highest group, he would be in the highest pay group, if he was in the next highest group he...

    Baylor leads for roach

    The definition of a mercenary is someone who sells his services to the highest bidder without loyalty to his employer. We will be like the rest of college sports teams, in a bidding war to get the players we want to be here for a year. We will be getting one and dones but they will be fourth...

    Baylor leads for roach

    I've seen quite a few posts about us getting players who will play for the name on the front of the jersey. I'm afraid we won't be getting too many of those. Almost every player in the portal is looking to sell their services to the highest bidder. Most of them will have absolutely no...

    Cats contact TT transfer Pop Isaacs

    It shouldn't have been too hard to evaluate Isaacs. He was accused of sexually assaulting a seventeen year old girl when Texas Tech was playing in the Battle for Atlantis in The Bahamas.

    Staff changes no longer expected per MJ

    I remember that far back very well. I've been a fan since the early 60's. Never knew what his politics were and I don't think that matters. I don't know why people would love Calipari until 2015 and then suddenly turn against him. I thought we had good teams up until the 2021 season and...

    Staff changes no longer expected per MJ

    In that scenario, I doubt that I would be rooting for that coach to succeed because I don't think he would be here. I just think there are some on here rooting for Calipari to fail because they don't like him personally. I believe, whether you like him or not you would want him to coach a...

    Staff changes no longer expected per MJ

    I'm not a Calipari lover. I'm not a Calipari hater either and I'll be rooting for him to do well as long as he is our coach. When He's gone, Ill be rooting for our next coach because if they do well that means the team is doing well too and I'm more interested in the team having success than I...

    Oats gets demolished by Florida

    I'm not defending Cal's coaching record the last few years but I'm not sure Oats would be a good choice. He has a 68% winning percentage and has double digit losses in three of his five years and also had an early exit from the tourney last year after being ranked #1 earlier in the season.

    Can we have a real talk moment (that not many of you will like)

    It sounds like we agree on most of the things you are saying. The biggest difference is that it sounds like you have given up on the team because you don't believe Cal can get the job done any longer. You may be right but I'll be rooting for him to succeed as long as he is our coach.

    Can we have a real talk moment (that not many of you will like)

    I can't understand why everyone on this board either loves or hates Calipari. I support him because he is the coach of the team I love and have followed for over 60 years. I have supported every coach since Rupp and if Cal is replaced, I will support whoever the new coach is. If we get a new...

    Todays Net Ranking

    I was listening to Lunardi a couple of weeks ago when he still had UNC in his bracket. One of the announcers asked him why he still had them making the tourney. He said it wasn't that he believed they belonged but what he thought the committee would do because of UNC's name recognition. So...
