Mcneese outgoing coach with some brutal honesty about the future for mid majors. Recruit with the intention to get the most out of them before they move to high major.
Obviously the goal should be to retain your talent, but with money involved it will never be a fair game for schools like us.
Really good read - focus on the PG stuff. It’s very interesting and next level.
Watching Drake get destroyed inside right now.

I once knew a coach that had the opportunity to be the HC of that Louisville program and access to that NIL $$$, but he had a problem with premature e…well you all know the rest.

Literally, just as we talked about pre-tournament. Was going to be VERY matchup dependent. That was about as bad of a second round matchup as they could have hoped for. Long. Athletic. Post dominate. Like - that’s just what they didn’t need to see.
Creighton loses to Auburn.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer fan base.
Not sure who are more obnoxious shit talkers, Auburn’s players or Creighton’s fans.

In the NIT:
#3 Bradley upset #2 George Mason, and unseeded Chattanooga from the SOCON upset #1 Dayton. Bad day for the Atlantic 10.

Cowherd is totally off base. He may not watch underdogs play after they upset someone in the first round....but a lot of us do. The Cinderella story is what drives March Madness.....you lose that and you'll lose what has made this tournament so special. And we are getting close to that now. We only had a few upsets this year and I feel like it was a pretty boring first 2 rounds....but maybe that's just me.
Terribly boring and the worst I can remember in a long time.
I mean I don’t disagree with any of this…
I will just say and most here probably realize this - it’s all about the money and those other teams have massive dedicated diehard fan bases who are going to keep buying tickets and keep watching regardless of a cinderella story being present or not - it makes for more excitement and it makes us feel better to argue that point… But it doesn’t matter AT ALL.
I didn’t watch a single minute last year and I’ve only watched a couple half’s maybe this year - I watched Conwell I should say. Other than that, I pretty much refuse to support it for what it has become. The only thing I can say to anyone who hates what it’s become, don’t watch! Because by watching - you’re basically proving the point they are making that mids being relevant or not all eyes are still on the tournament.

I can't argue against what you are saying. Money controls just about everything. I won't watch nearly as much as I would have when underdogs are playing. I will probably check out the national championship, but I will not go out of my way to watch any other game. I guess we will see how the TV ratings show the sweet 16 is viewed. I will argue the ratings will be lower than when multiple higher seeds have been in it.

What’s funny about all this is I geek out on the first two rounds, still pretty intrigued by Sweet 16 games, and then typically lose interest by the Final Four.
Sucks the way it is, but we’re pretty much playing a lottery ticket one year at a time.
