Same conversation that took place in the CAA days. We have a conference where not every member is committed to the overall health of the conference when it comes to MBB. They aren't committed to consistently playing the best schedule they can or don't have the funds to buy games and/or play the...

I was reminded last night while watching Nova on the court of how fortunate we have all been over the past couple of decades regarding coaches and the talent they have attracted to the party.

"The reason" for not to attend a women's game has run it's course and I think lessons were learned so time to move on. Does VCU still give out passes to the women's games to those that donate and buy men's seasons tickets? How about a free parking pass for women's games?

Yep, after the first handful of games, I would have been pleased if we were 14 and 10 at this point. The thought of even making the NIT didn't even cross my mind. This is not even close to being the same team they were a few months ago.

This got me thinking. What's the difference between a NBA player and a many college basketball players? The size of their paychecks? They both exist to entertain us and generate money for the "business" they work for. Regardless of the size of a basketball players paycheck, I don't see any...

There are some rumors circulating regarding an ice hockey facility. I don't know if it's proposed for Green City, VCC or elsewhere.

From my perspective; I see talent but I see little confidence and next to no team chemistry. This is where a coach earns his money.

We are an urban school, lets say similar to Villanova. How is their football team doing even with MUCH deeper pockets? I say we start men's lacrosse and then how about Ice Hockey.

They were FCS for what, one year and jumped to FBS way too soon. They didn't take the time to build a football program and have been playing catch up ever since. ODU is an example of what not to do.

If we had football we wouldn't need to wait for November to get here. September 2nd can't get here fast enough (VCU will never have football, not in my lifetime anyway)

After a couple of decades giving at the Directors level I ceased my financial support to the RAF about 4 years ago and I didn't get a "we miss you" love note. In short, I was tired of getting "squeezed", give more get less. For at least 10 years supporters were telling the AD "take care of the...

I'm not saying the ceiling is "High" at PSU, just potentially higher than VCU. There is a reason VCU is and always has been a "stepping stone" job. I think the A-10 move could have had the potential to offer more coaching stability, certainly better than the CAA but the overall quality of the...

Maybe it's more about the ceiling. The way it's looking the potential ceiling in the A-10 isn't the same potential ceiling in the Big Ten. Eight of the Big Ten programs made the NCAAT, the A10 had one. Anyway coaching at Penn State for a born and breed Pennsylvania boy is a bit of a dream job.

The problem I always had with the Wade scandal was he clearly wasn't acting alone. No one seems to be digging very deep into the whole program. The phrase "take on for the team" comes to mind. I wonder what a person like Wade does when he can't or is no longer allowed to do what he was born to...

Changing the subject. Since this is about Coach, what are his kids up to? Is Chase playing anywhere? I think I recall hearing that the daughter (Porter?) was a player as well.

Totally agree. It's similar to the "conversations" we had back in the CAA days. We have a small handful of opponents that can boost each others resume's and then some boat anchors. It seems to me the bottom third of the A-10 has gotten softer that past few seasons. Those early OOC games are so...

Threading the needle may be the new norm. Due to the "new" transfer rules and NIL to some extent...the Mid-majors, most outside the P5 are rebuilding/reloading more now than they ever have. It's taken how many games for us to start seeing the "Chemistry". Winning Q1 games early has always been...

I worked for churches. Many members thought they had a say and could be my boss. The reality is the only people I was allowed to answer to was usually the Chairman of a board. That person also signed my checks. The people that donated the most money may have had the most power to influence...

It works the same in college sports.

One of the mistakes made was when they started charging donors to park in the decks. Trying to get a couple extra hundred from the donors that were already paying thousands showed disrespect toward many long time supporters.
