Well, that's one possibility. The other one is that the poster is a bullshitter or simply gullible. Since at least half of this board is populated by bullshitters and the gullible, I'd say the latter explanation is more probable. I don't believe that the U of M president ordered Coyle to hire...

I guess so! If Barkley's predictions come true, then I think we should go to a smaller "NCAA championship" tournament and a larger "NCAA Championship Irrelevant" tournament. Maybe we could make the latter one 40% of the time.

Do you have a citation for that? Excuse me if I don't have complete faith in your declaration that this is a "100% true story."

I don't know about "major" but it would be a disappointment.

I think that was the poster's point.

Yes, I think that makes a very significant contribution. I'll be glad when the fifth year of eligibility goes away in a couple of years.

I'd say it's too early to make conclusions about the effects of NIL. NIL is still in its infancy.

Charles Barkley did an interview on 60 minutes last night. He was asked for his thoughts about the current state of college basketball. He was depressed about the direction of CBB and pessimistic about the future. He said that within five years there will be around 25 teams who are dominant...

I've read some really dumb things in my years on this board but this has to be one of the absolute dumbest ideas yet. Let me clue you into something: Those faculty members on the graduate admissions committee likely are tenured. Ben Johnson is not! He's not going to take them down but they...

Jordan Miller did not receive a single P6 offer coming out of high school. He played at George Mason for three years and transferred to Miami for the last two. Norchad Omier didn't receive any either.

And unfortunately for the rest of us, you escaped unscathed.

Which degree? All graduate degrees from the business school? My guess is that it depends upon the degree. MBA programs typically prefer students with working experience as the MBA is a degree often pursued by working professionals as a credential for advancement into higher management. But...

They wouldn't and if Battle was denied admission to a graduate program there was some other reason.

I looked up the criteria for All Big Ten academic status. It's only a 3.0 average. The substantial majority of successful applicants to a graduate business program at Carlson likely have GPAs well above that. Then there is also the matter of test scores if they are required.

Regardless of what conference they are from, never underestimate 30+ win teams. Fantastic postseason showing by Conference USA. Final four for 1st place Forlida Atlantic. NIT final four for second and third place teams North Texas and UAB. CBI championship for 5th place Charlotte.

No, the story sounds like fiction.

Sorry, but that sounds like horseshit to me. I'm not saying you're spouting horseshit. I'm saying that so called friend of the family doesn't know what he's talking about. Perhaps they don't have a graduate degree in business analytics (I'm a bit surprised by that if that's true) but no...

Agreed. Not just much greater exposure (although that in itself would be enough) but much better facilities too. Also, Clarksville TN sucks. The only thing good about it is that it's less than an hour from Nashville. Their winter weather is better of course but their summers (at least in the...

Thanks for the update! We heard that talks were progressing but nothing more concrete than that.

If you think the first "fire Pitino" thread occurred only two years before his firing, then you either weren't paying attention or you weren't posting here.
