I can’t think of a coach who’s dismissed more players from their team than Brian wardle. On one hand, he must not take a whole lot of crap from players. But on the other hand, he is recruiting and signing off on these guys. Kind of interesting.
Do not care for this new paradigm.
Yeah what I'm noticing is P4/5 are going play teams like us as exhibition and not a real game (Unless a buy game but even that is not a guarantee)

It feels like their plan is to move MM buy games to exhibitions. Then they will end up playing another HM in the "real game" slot. I feel like this is a MM freeze out.

The All-MVC Level
Perhaps mid majors are freezing them out?? Refuse to play them at their place forcing them to schedule only other P4/5 schools and absorb more losses and pay bigger fees.
Ah yes, the P4 double header of UCLA/Arizona, and USC... Illinois State.
Good for them though. These teams should be scheduling more midmajors.
If NCAA would change the NET formula that didn't penalize for playing good teams then they probably play us more. NCAA wants P4's to blow out bad teams and deems that worthy of a Bid. smh

Has anyone followed the rest of the conference well enough to know what our competition looks like?
Typically the few us that do, only during the season when INSU isn't playing.

How Illinois State Men’s Basketball Bucked the Transfer Portal Trend
Power programs often lure up-and-comers in the mid-majors with NIL offers and greater exposure, but the Redbirds’ stars chose a different path.
