Louisville is also the number 1 college basketball market in the country, and that's not adjusting for population. They are also the largest metro area in the US that isn't represented by one of the major five pro sports (NFL/NBA/MLB/NHL/MLS). Money that would otherwise go to pro sports instead...

Auburn, Northwestern, and Washington State are P6s with tiny gyms too. Low seating capacity is not a deal breaker. Also Texas just moved into a gym that cut their seating capacity by nearly 40%, and Alabama is planning a gym with a similar cut in seating capacity.

... what? :?

I'd love to see VCU MLax in D1. Same with George Mason. I'm kinda surprised neither school has a program given how popular it is in the area.

Legitimately one of the best big men in college hoops. He was overshadowed in the Summit League by Max Aßmas, but make no mistake Grant Nelson is a top-10-type transfer player and will make an immediate impact on whichever team is lucky enough to land him.

Oh god, not this again. :? 1. I don't want us to be in any conference that also sponsors FBS-level football. Football drives the bus, and without football we would always be seen as second-class citizens. The American is inherently unstable as their most promising football brands continuously...

Not if we had growing pains in year one of whomever replaced him. I also think that Rhoades leaving for a giant bag of cash at PSU changed the dynamic around him. If we had fired him from his "dream job", the narrative would have been that our fan base's expectations were completely unrealistic...

There's a difference between firing a coach who averaged 24 wins a season and replacing a coach who won 24 games a season that left for "greener" pastures because he didn't get paid like a P6 coach with multiple deep Tournament runs. Mike Rhoades was never on the "hot seat", and wouldn't have...

He was rated as a top-15 transfer by most transfer rankings I've been following. So even if you want to say the A10 was "down" last season, the college basketball establishment seems to believe that he was pretty darn good.

The only thing PSU really has over us is conference affiliation. They've traditionally been one of the most underwhelming P6 basketball programs in the country. Tough to sell kids on going to a school in a tiny college town in the middle of nowhere, where their chosen sport falls behind...

I'm aware. That said, he's still in charge of creative and day-to-day operations. He's not going anywhere anytime soon.

Oh it's true. It's true. ... :?

He was supposed to be out of the company after the payments to cover up the harrassment came to light too. Vince will "step away" from WWE when he's inside of a pine box, and not a day before.

Vince, is that you? :?

It helps when you're married to the boss's daughter.
