Pull out a ruler and look at 2 inches. Personally, 2 inches doesn't matter much, but, I suppose it sounds cooler to say "7 footer" than it does to say "6 foot 10 incher". :)

Wisconsin must have run low on NIL money and hit the clearance rack.

That is a big dude with room to grow.

The UST nonsense is getting old. I'm an alumni of both schools (MN undergrad, UST grad). I don't understand the infatuation the newly minted D1 stepchild has with the U. It is damn near stalker-level and annoying. MN has nothing to gain and everything to lose at this point, while UST only...

The numbers are coming from the Multi-Year Athlete Selection System (MYASS). According to MYASS, Player X reportedly got $2M to sign with Harvey Wallbanger University to play for Coach Whatshisnuts. Every swinging D on the sports journalism planet affiliated with college athletics is...

I sense a potential lawsuit on the horizon. The pimps (agents) see a lot of scratch in their futures with their new, shiny athletic prostitutes. 'Ders gold in 'dem 'der hills!!

I'm not exactly sure which is worse - the players or the parents of the AAU circuit.

Baylor lost every player because nobody wants to play for MN and the administration hates athletics. ;) All kidding aside, holy crap. This current system is unsustainable.

That is the dark side of all of this - players leave a program only to find themselves without a home when the dust settles. I have to imagine some level of self-correcting will happen as this becomes more and more commonplace.

The portal closes on April 22, until somebody sues to keep it open. In 2026, we'll have the new In-Season Portal. Change teams at anytime, provided they give a two week notice. By 2027, they will debut the In-Game Portal where fans can pony up spot cash to buy a player off the opposing team to...
