    76 NCAA Tournament Teams in 2026-27

    NIL made expansion of the tournament even more pointless. Cinderella use to be a mid major. Now Cinderella is a low seed from a power conference with an athletics budget over $100 million.

    Eligibility executive order

    School already got a benefit with the revenue and play of the player. it’s a loser in court. if the car dealers says it wasn’t because of his play what you gonna do? What you gonna do when the player gets paid before playing a single game? if he is transferring for a payday obviously it’s for...

    Eligibility executive order

    Sure. Have salary cap for what the schools can pay. Then the car dealer comes over the top with more money. you lose in court trying to stop the car dealer. nobody cares if the geek writes a phone app that makes money and they transfer schools but god forbid somebody screw up my TV watching...

    Cuban/Mellencamp drops $60M on IU football

    You never collected $35 after taxes and agent fees. Former players that never made a dime from NIL already donated their services to their college. The schools and coaches got very fat off that free service. you need billionaires to fun NIL or companies that can use it as advertising.

    Coaching Carousel

    Tough sledding at mid majors now. You can’t build anything, a diamond in the rough will get gobbled up for a couple hundred grand. needs to come out killing it in transfer portal and get the hell out of town for the first top 5 conference job. I assumed he got paid more at Iowa State as an...

    expectation for next year and waxing philosophical

    Future looks bright but it did after Tom Davis’s first year also. Never to return to the elite 8. darn good coach, can he get the talent. I like his odds but we shall see.

    Sick of losing to Illinois

    St. John’s doesn’t recruit high school kids. Pitino states it publicly to anybody that will listen. other schools target Europe. crazy how things changed in a blink of the eye.

    Take away the best player on any team and they are not making it to the final 8. Surprised they got past Kentucky.

    Iowa State

    I very much doubt that. A very small minority vocal maybe that just hate everything. Thousands of fans in Chicago didn’t drive home last night after Iowa won. social media is all about cranking up the volume more and more. It’s not reality.

    2021 Houston beat seeds of 15,10,11,12 to get to final four. 2001 Michigan State beat seeds of 16, 9, 12, 11 I doubt Iowa is anywhere near the top if they win Saturday.

    I guess you could make it a math problem. add up the seed numbers of the people you beat. The higher the number, the easiest path. Iowa beat a 1 so their number likely would not be historically high. The only thing they avoided was a 2 seed really. The easiest path would be teams that didn’t...

    FOCUS ILLINOIS

    Iowa is hot right now. Shooting with a tremendous amount of confidence. Ben can coach around the athleticism. very good chance to pull this off.
