You can argue all day long about whose the greatest but you can’t deny he was an absolute Big Ten legend.

Right or wrong that isn’t how the NBA draft operates. First rounders are almost exclusively NCAA freshman, G Leaguers or Europeans. Very few players raise their draft stock after their freshman year.

I’m wondering how many players opt out given that, from my understanding, all players are getting the same $600 payment. I could see some stars that are getting big money opting out unless they get a bigger check than everyone else.

Agreed. If he tries that stepping over a player garbage in the NBA he’s going to be in for a lesson.

I’ll go with none of the above and TC.

I think it can be reasonably assumed he would be all over it for the cash and resources offered by Michigan. Don't think fandom has a lot to due with what jobs coaches would take but I could be wrong.

Absolutely brutal call. Clear pin off the backboard.

I kind of quit watching college basketball the last few years. Good to see the B1G officiating for MSU games hasn’t changed.

Have we contacted Tony Dungy yet?

Saw this meme a long time ago but there really needs to be an NE version. Fits so perfectly.

That’s what cracks me up about it. The refs, by virtue of the call, completely agree with them. My Hawkeye family members say the same thing as these people whenever they talk about the game. I always tell them they’re completely correct, that it wasn’t a fair catch, it was an invalid fair catch...

Absolutely.

I don’t know if I agree. I think it’s more likely that interest in competitive sports falls if we lose competitive balance. The NFL, NBA, and NHL are all setup to provide balance via a draft and salary caps. There are some teams in that make more and spend more than others but it’s hardly a...

I thought about this today. Could you sign a coach to a $20 million per year contract, with $5 million a year guaranteed, with the expectation that the coach donates $15 million a year to a collective?

Unfortunately that’s not going to fix anything. If we’re allowed to do it OSU and Michigan will do the same thing. And likely will eventually make the argument that they want a bigger piece of the media pie. We’re not going to win a financial arms race in a Wild West atmosphere with no rules.
