Every year. The conference isn’t that good.

The entire starting 5 is leaving. The lion’s share of minutes this year is gone. This isn’t about the decisions of 18-23 year olds at all. This is about the ‘leadership’ who has caused these problems. But if you believe we should blame the infantry and not the officers, well sorry I can’t agree wit...

As of now, there appears to be 2 players returning next year who played this year. I suspect 1 of them leaves in the next few weeks. Do you not consider that turning over the roster or do you consider that the hallmark of a successful program? There are 13 scholarship players. These were 3 of them....

If we turn over the roster every year can that be used as an excuse for poor results? Asking for an acquaintance. You're worried about a freshman that didn't play, a sophomore that didn't play well, and a guy that graduated? I hate to see anyone go, but losing these three isn't anywhere near "...

Jeebus guys. We were in the tournament 2 years ago! Last year was an unmitigated disaster, mostly due to the worst rash on injuries that has ever happened in college basketball. This year, for all intents and purposes, wasn't bad, considering that we turned over the entire roster. R-E-L-A-X If we t...

This is unfortunately going to be the case yearly with Linder. Players are likely to move on once they’ve grown tired with him. None of these transfers will be commanding huge NIL.

Novak wins. Unfortunately faces Brooks in the next round.

I wonder what Napoleon Bonaparte’s legacy would have been had the transfer portal existed during the French Revolution?

I’ve been pretty clear in my belief that the future of the program appears pretty hopeless under the current coach.

That said - we aren’t going to fire Linder because Burman gave him an extension until 2027 2 years ago and the buyout is cost prohibitive at this point.

Apparently Foster has another year now!?!? Must be an additional medical redshirt. The recent portal entry could be a numbers game if Foster and Wenzel were to return. If he returns he could go straight from college basketball to Social Security. I hope he does return. A player to root for in what ...

Caden Powell - gone


Seems that 2 seasons is the limit for most players under Linder.

Very disappointing. He has a long way and unlikely way back to AA.

Kid transfers from Alabama to Iowa. Collects $100,000 NIL money. Transfers back to Alabama before spring ball starts. https://saturdayblitz.com/posts/kadyn-proctor-situation-proves-that-the-nil-system-is-currently-broken-01hsez6najyw This is great! Stuff like this will help put an end to the madnes...

Interesting that the punter participated.

I wonder if there are rules in pro sports? Would it be possible for nfl fans to pay a collective not associated with the team and the collective paid players? There are rules under the collective bargaining agreements. Which is why the establishment of employment status and labor unions might be on...

I found the answer. The WNIT is the new CBI.

Women’s basketball now has the WBIT which is the new 2nd best tournament.

Congrats to the team on the invite and good luck!

But how does a 16-14 team who collapsed at the end of the season get an invite? This is perplexing.

Nil does need to end. I could see the title IX argument working. Odd they’ve used title IX for all sorts of things except when a dude is swimming on the girls team. on cue! a group of like women athletes suing for title IX violations. https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/15/sport/ncaa-title-ix-violations-tr...

It is a title ix issue if the university is working closely with the collective. Define working closely with and how they are preferentially favoring men other than marketplace value. Men in non-revenue sports have the same value as women. It's free market. It might destroy but it's free market. Th...
