    I miss men’s sports…

    While I tend to prefer men’s basketball, I also genuinely enjoy women’s basketball—especially the Gamecocks. They play a physical, defense-first style and represent the University of South Carolina with pride. Dawn Staley is one of the top coaches in college basketball, and her teams...

    Now 2 HC positions open in MBB in the state of NC

    There were hints that this may happen. Will Wade leaving after one year sounds like a "Lane Kiffin" move. So much for Wade finding peace at NC State: https://www.si.com/college/ncstate/will-wade-finds-peace-at-nc-state-ahead-of-ncaa-tournament

    Virginia sucks

    I live in Shenandoah Valley about 30 minutes from Charlottesville. Virginia basketball exceeded expectations this year. Nobody expected UVa basketball to finish second in the ACC and advance to the second round of the NCAA tournament. You wrote, "the state is worse than the basketball team...

    What does our basketball NIL budget need to be with Paris as coach?

    Unfortunately, that does feel like today's reality.

    What does our basketball NIL budget need to be with Paris as coach?

    College teams are minor league teams for the NBA and NFL. College players can earn more, and many do, with NIL than NBA Developmental League players. Many college athletes and their families admit that the "student athletes" are looking for a "bag" of money. I don't like the professionalization...

    What does our basketball NIL budget need to be with Paris as coach?

    Whatever South Carolina can pull together, most of the top programs can match. I don't mind players getting paid, but I don't support them making more than the university president! Today's college athletes are employees, not student athletes. They should sign binding contracts with performance...

    Bobby Hurley

    I always respected Hurley's competitiveness and grit, but I would not trade Scheyer for Hurley.

    Eliminate NIL and roll the portal back. Done!

    I don't like the professionalization of college athletics, but it won't be rolled back. At least implement a salary cap for college football and basketball and hold players accountable--enforce contracts and utilize multi-year contracts to maintain some stability. They are not student athletes...

    Fulwiley was a non-factor for LSU last night

    Fulwiley is a point guard. She should have stayed at South Carolina and learned from Dawn Staley, one of the best point guards and coaches of all time. I like the way Coach Staley has handled the Fulwiley situation, she genuinely cares about her players and women's basketball.

    Baseball

    Ray Tanner is in the College Baseball Hall of Fame, yet he couldn’t manage to hire a competent baseball coach. That’s one decision Tanner should have gotten right. Instead, he struck out.
