    Payne in portal (UPDATED: Payne commits to Texas A&M)

    NIL should be combined with coach's salary. Coach get's decide how to keep players based on total cash available for the program. CBJ doesn't deserve a $ 3+ MM salary based on results of seasons 1 thru 3.

    Payne in portal (UPDATED: Payne commits to Texas A&M)

    Payne's FT percentage improved throughout the season. He will be missed. NIL/transfer portal sucks! Gophers are like a G-league for D1 basketball.

    Does CBJ ever work the officials?

    Generally, like CBJ's demeanor on the floor vs Pitino's. Little Rickey acted like a child having a tantrum. CBJ saw Pitino's behavior and decided to do the opposite. Neither behavior won games for the gopher. Results/winning are from recruiting/managing transfers and coaching.

    What grade would you give Gophers coaching in BTT loss to Michigan State?

    Little Ricky gets the gold medal for 2nd half meltdowns.

    Former Gopher coach Dan Monson fired by Long Beach State

    The self-imposed and NCAA punishment against the basketball team returned 25+ years of mediocrity at best. Many seasons were worse than mediocre. The NCAA penalties extended to the men's football and hockey teams with different penalties for different infractions. The woman's basketball team...

    Ohio State fires Holtmann

    To me, it's not his record, which is below average for Michigan, it's the other behavior, specifically the abhorrent incident after the WI game. Understand the fans wanting him to succeed.

    Ohio State fires Holtmann

    Did you say the same during Pitino's underwhelming tenure? What about J Howard? Thought he'd be gone before the season started with all of his troubles, excluding the team's record. Or is Howard sacred in the eyes of the Michigan elites.

    Ben Johnson: “We lost our edge. Even though we were up the energy, the vibe wasn’t what it needed to be. We got low into their pace.”

    Whiners and chiefs=Izzo and McCaffery. If a call does go in favor of MN, it's analogous to a lunar eclipse.

    Chip: Time for Williams Arena teardown? Not if we get more Gophers games like Tuesday's.

    The mid-90's renovation resulted in approximately 2,000 less seats plus the "box seats" on the top-level sides. Before that renovation there were still sell outs though with almost 16k capacity. The scoreboard's been upgraded a few times and those have been mostly good. The floor was painted...

    If Gard is so unsuccessful MN fans should hope he stays.

    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    Have enjoyed the close games and wins by this year's team. They are on a razor's edge though. One win/loss they go from 5th to 10th. The team and Ben are improving! Enjoy the change.

    Ben Johnson is NOT a disaster....

    Yes, Clem's first 2 years were dismal, but he had already been successful head coach for 7 years with 2 NCAA appearances and 1 NIT before being hired as mn coach. CBJ was an assistant from the little Ricky coaching tree (not a huge plus for the resume) and a couple other schools and was not...

    Tollackson Stepping Down

    Grimm's a "homer". Not unusual for a home-team play-by-play announcer. When any team plays Michigan State/Iowa (the worst offenders) regardless if at home or away, the B10 refs are barraged by Izzo\McCaffrey for any call that goes against MSU\IA. Frankly it's annoying and the refs are human...

    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    NCAA needs a handicap system similar to golf but based on the NIL money of players on the team. The greater the difference between teams NIL player total the higher the "handicap" for the team with the lesser NIL. Allowing schools to pay NIL directly can only make the current system worse. The...

    ESPN: NCAA proposes rule to let schools, athletes enter NIL deals

    The NCAA wants us to believe they're by-standers in this charade of a "free market" (NIL) for the benefit of the athletes. I'm against the athletes getting paid millions, but NOT against the athletes being compensated beyond the free tuition, room and board, which is already worth a significant...

    The question must be asked….

    Ironically, the UoM, with all their focus away from athletics has also fallen in college academic rankings. National University overall ranking # 53, behind (in order): Northwestern, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Purdue, Illinois.
