They didn’t last year when it was the chance of a lifetime. They won’t hit it that hard this year either.No need to prolong the dumpster fire. Keep Sommerville, Grant and Dortch. Hit the portal big time
I kinda thought the missing piece to this season was Dortsch going off in some meaningless post season tournament and subsequently we lose him to somebody. So good that won't happen.![]()

I do think there are a lot of excellent coaches- better than many D1 coaches - in D3. But I'd go with other guys there over the NYU coach personally. He's done a great job there though undeniably.Now let’s fire Pike and Hire the NYU coach
On the cheap
Agree 100%. I’m a die hard fan but if I stop caring about the players I stop caring about the team. Don’t know how much I can hang in watching new teams each year. It’s becoming worse than the pros. Another poster noted how Greg is making it work so I’m hoping he can maintain his culture.What if they get invited to NCAAs? 😂
Agree with Kyk on barely getting to know players/rosters in bball. The one factor I loved about college sports is seeing kids in the program develop over time…long gone now
Did they actually say they would accept, or only that they would likely be invited?So past few days we heard Rutgers would accept an invite then wake up to see this. Makes me think coaches wanted it but players took a pass. Perhaps this is an indication of this not being a tight group? Feeds into a lot of the narrative over the past few years that the locker room chemistry is not there. I’ve been very hesitant to jump on the ditch Pike bandwagon but there are too many indications this has been going on the wrong direction for 2-3 years. He has 358 days to turn this around for me…
I also think it’s only a matter of probably two to three years before we start seeing schools lock players in with multi-year contractsAgree 100%.

So you created your own reason then go onto to explain how it needs to be resolved? Maybe it was a mutual agreement by everyone?So past few days we heard Rutgers would accept an invite then wake up to see this. Makes me think coaches wanted it but players took a pass.

Richie, the question is why? What are your sources telling you?![]()

The point is anything is better than what is going on it’s a model for guaranteed failureI do think there are a lot of excellent coaches- better than many D1 coaches - in D3. But I'd go with other guys there over the NYU coach personally. He's done a great job there though undeniably.
Did you watch our season???Richie, the question is why? What are your sources telling you?
I don’t think there’s an NIL incentive attached to the Crown after allWeird, feels like the Crown was invented for a team like us. Made for TV with teams That didnt make the NCAAs. NIL $& for playing too. Are we a program that can turn our noses down at non NCAAs like UNC? Maybe because we have 50,000 banners hanging in the RAC already they felt like they didnt need one more. Even though only 3 of those are for actual national championships. Oh well.
There is, up to 2 million.I don’t think there’s an NIL incentive attached to the Crown after all
You are right, they filled out paperwork but did not yet submit per Carino.Did they actually say they would accept, or only that they would likely be invited?
anything just for participating? lol or is it winner takes all because if we can get like $250k just for running out some walk-ons and equipment managers then I don’t see why notThere is, up to 2 million.
Hopefully the players will tell pike he is no longer needed.Time for coach player discussions to happen immediately. Need to start the game plan for the portal.
I do like how you think - to me D3 coaches are way undervalued. Got to hire the right one though and have an AD with some real confidence. Because it's outside the box any hiccups get magnified.The point is anything is better than what is going on it’s a model for guaranteed failure
No, he was too busy have constant man-child tantrums to actually pay attention.Did you watch our season???
Source? Otherwise you may be thinking of the Thanksgiving tournament they played in.There is, up to 2 million.
Yes I think NCAA need s to step in and require all freshmen to play first two years with one school before they are free agents.I also think it’s only a matter of probably two to three years before we start seeing schools lock players in with multi-year contracts
Pike said they did in his remarks after USCand Carino just wrote an article the other day claiming Pike filled out the paperwork
Makes me think many intend on hitting the portal. We may be left with only 2-3 players from this roster next year. If this continues to be the norm will be tough to follow this sportsThis tells me we probably couldn't have fielded a legitimate team with all the sit outs. Pike may not have wanted to be embarrassed further either. Regardless, the right decision. An unenjoyable and disappointing season doesn't need to be prolonged just to endure another dagger to the heart
I did a google search, which now looks inaccurate. Searching further, I didn't see anything about money.Source? Otherwise you may be thinking of the Thanksgiving tournament they played in.
