    College basketball’s most valuable teams (15. Minn $164M).

    This is also why it's inexcusable to not be a top program every year. Stack up some wins and the money will coming pouring in. . .

    Stan Van Gundy just a bonus to Dan Bonner and Kevin Harlan on the crew for any game

    All Things 2024-25 College Basketball Coach Fired/Hired/Retired Thread

    He's in the semi-sunset of his career, gets to go back home, coach in a great environment. I think you're probably right he is working for a discounted rate. And I agree with you, I would too.

    All Things 2024-25 College Basketball Coach Fired/Hired/Retired Thread

    I didn't find a thread that seemed to fit so I'll throw it in here since it at least involves Maryland. When I look at tonight's games, the ones that have me jazzed the most are BYU-Bama and Arkansas-Texas Tech. I think Maryland gets bounced tonight. Duke-Arizona interesting matchup also. Just...

    If I'm tracking this right, it would not have involved Penn at all anyway. He was fired, and either way Penn wouldn't be involved other than their own terms with Fran. It's more about would Fran have had to accept less from Iowa in the event he took another job in x mo's, etc.

    Niko’s roster construction

    I just think Gopher fans are so worn down by the late-to-the-game portal signees from past season in particular, that folks don't trust it will be different now. I feel like Niko probably embraces the clean slate and he can quickly turn via portal. He definitely has some work to do at all but...

    Xavier Hires Pitino

    Xavier has great support from the community even with competition from UC nearby. Cool part of Cincinnati also. People love their hoops there.

    Did hiring Niko move the donor needle? Some insight from DTA

    This reminded me of a couple summers ago, sitting next to a starting corner on Texas' football team on a flight. We visited most of the flight, talking about who he played against in HS basketball, be it during the season, or AAU. He also shared pic's of his leased cars, AND owned cars. I was...

    New coach Niko Medved set to make $3 million a year.

    Other than would have liked for that assistant coach salary pool to be higher, looks like a great deal on both sides, especially for Coyle/U of M.

    2025 Transfer Portal Watch

    yep that's a tough one to lose. He looked pretty good/physical for true freshman.

    Gophers got a hometown discount IMO.
