Explaining contract decisions

I haven’t seen any of the Pikes supporters (yes, I’m one of them) NOT acknowledge that it’s been a hugely disappointing year. And yes, he has to own it. But as far as everyone is noticing and laughing at us, what are we, 8 year-olds? Cripes, don’t be embarrassed, just get better. And the constant, incessant mud-slinging is way over-the-top (for me, anyway).

You said something in another thread that I agree with 100%. The fact that you can’t get emotionally invested in the one and done’s. Me either, and that goes back to the Calipari days. It sucks. It’s not college basketball, and nothing personal against our guys but I’m glad it’s over. You also said you’re nauseated over players making $1m. Me too, and I’m not even against ALL players being modestly compensated over and above their scholarship. It’s just different today, and not in a good way.
No we’re not 8, but recruits, in HS and in the portal, notice. They want money and they want to go to the ncaas. We just proved we can’t get there with five stars.

Also now, EVERYONE is a potential one and done.

Did you watch part 2? The one where his wife yells at him for bringing the wrong kind home

Seriously though, that has to be one of the craziest food gathering experiences I’ve ever seen. Risking your life for a few ounces of honey

Game Thread: Women's Basketball vs Nebraska in Big Ten Tournament First Round

Well, that didn't go as I had hoped. Another good game for Destiny--she's so solid.

RU went seven deep; Nebraska played ten. No Cornwell or McMiller. At least acknowledge the performance-limiting factors when you folks are trashing the team.

NCAA Tourney headed to 72 or 76 in 2026?

Umm, College Football Playoff?

Nope.
The top 4 seeds get a bye.
Seeds 5-12 play in the 1st round.
Just like it should be.

Do lower ranked teams get higher seeds?
Yes. But that's a seeding issue.
Similar to the NFL - division championship is valued above all else and garner a higher seed.
That's why 10-7 Rams hosted the 11-5 Vikinfs. Rams were the higher seed.

The format of the CFP makes complete sense. The top seeds get a bye like they are supposed to.
