NCAA Revenue Sharing

Weird that “guidance” was given on this matter on the way out. Revenue share should be a bi-partisan/non-politicized issue but I get why one side doesn’t want one side to get all the revenue but don’t understand how you lose sight of why this revenue is forthcoming in the first place.

Football and basketball should get the bulk of the revenue because it makes the bulk of it.

GO RU
I think this is solely about one admin trying to be dicks to the other admin as the changeover happens. Nothing more. This has happened about 10 times already this week.

1. The new admin will likely ignore or change this guidance.
2. Probably a good idea to stop the charade and just "hire" football and b-ball players as athletic employees of the universities.

OT: Moderate to Significant Snow (and some rain SE of 95) for Sunday, 1/19.

Favoring 2-5” areawide with a jackpot if 6” somewhere in Morris, Warren, or Sussex. Quick moving slider, not a particularly dynamic system at H5, frontogenesis is there for some moderate banding but nothing impressive enough to get to totals models suggested a couple of days ago. I do believe the majority of precip should be all snow for the northern half of the state including coastal areas.

I don’t get caught up in the run to run craziness with the models, more interested in trends, ensembles, and discarding outliers.

Anyone else notice Gavin?

What I gather from this thread is:

Fans are angry over a “not going to leave RU” quote that was made while he was still in high school and he changed his mind a year and a half later. - Get over it.
Fans thinks he’s soft, unathletic, can’t play D, didn’t work hard, etc - And also angry because he didn’t stay and tie up a roster spot.
Fans are angry that he blamed the coaches - those are unsubstantiated rumors.

Did I miss anything?

What I saw and see is just a highly ranked kid who believed in Pike and RU but simply wasn’t and still isn’t as good as the hype. He thought a change would do him good. I can’t be angered by that. If he was a 2* or 3* and did the same fans here would have wished him well at his next stop.

To be honest, you are the only angry person I see in this thread.

He had Douby range on 3 pointers but was unable to create shots off the dribble.Griffiths definitely needs weight training and playing at a far lower competition level.Another player with high hopes coming in and disappointment leaving after one year.
Well ... he supposedly had Douby-like range ... and TOOK Doubly-like range shots ... but for RU hit under 30% from 3, and for Nebraska is just 5-23, 22%.

The entitlement here is wild, thinking that he was obligated to come here because his father went here 30 years ago. By all accounts he’s a good kid.

Also not sure we need a new thread every time a thought pops into Crackers head
I thought you weren't going to answer to any of my posts. Couldn't control yourself, huh? Do you think what his father did to us was right? Did I mention the kid?I mentioned the father. I'm sure the kid is very nice.I've never met him. If people don't care what I have to say (like you said) then how come I have almost 30k views on my post. That's not a lie,that's a fact.

No one is angry anymore because he, in fact, sucks. If he was lighting it up out there then anger would be justified to some extent after his "I'm never hitting the portal" comment.

Personally I was most annoyed at him because Pike gave him every opportunity in the world to succeed and he never took it. And then the way he left, complete with his dad on social media, made it clear they thought his underwhelming freshman season was Pike's fault.

Turns out it wasn't.

Last night was our worst defensive night since November 16, 2019.....but

Take a break. He had a bad night. But a good night against UCLA , just 1 game before. He is our best offensive low post presence. He is a freshman and don’t dismiss it. We get Ogbole and him to give us 10 points and 15 rebounds a night then they did their job. Don’t judge a guy on his arguably worst performance of the year.
Agreed. He’s shown some flashes. Shouldn’t have started the second half though and certainly shouldn’t have checked in again with 10 or so minutes remaining. He was a flat out liability vs Nebraska and it almost cost us.

Basketball is also, as they say, a game of runs. There will be swings, sometimes due to personnel and sometimes due to normal statistical variance.

Sommerville had a poor game, definitely. He just never got into any sort of groove and looked uncomfortable out there. Acuff played just 8 minutes.

Yes - it’s a game of runs but it also can’t be ignored on a given day when the bad stretches occurred with a specific rotation multiple times. Probably not a coincidence. That doesn’t mean those same kids will be bad every game - match ups play a big part and just generally good days and bad days. That said - I think a broad statement that we were awful on D misses the mark. There were certain units that were really solid in the game despite what the overall blended stats show.
