    2024-25 Big Ten Free Agent Signings

    It feels like the real life manifestation of Calvin Ball. We are just making up the game as we play it. This system is FUBAR.

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

    Odd, since you or nobody else has any idea what these guys are being offered. It is all speculation. When I start to see actual, published numbers from something in writing, then maybe I'll say OK, I understand. Until I see verifiable proof, I will assume, just as accurately, that he was...

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

    100%. Since it was reported he was driving a BMW 5-series, he has expensive tastes it is all about the image and bling. Either that or he has a real affinity for car mechanics. He's probably going to need it. ;) At least it wasn't a 3-series. Or an Audi.

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

    In my experience, team members that job hop to chase money end up being shitty team members. People that chase money are people who are rarely, if ever, satisfied in life. It wasn't that he was offered nothing here and chose to actually get something. He just wants more. This is on top of the...

    Any chance of a return?

    I would imagine that was a problem in the locker room. Any team I've been on for work where one or more are openly talking about job hunting and leaving can create a toxic environment for everyone else. Once a person has mentally left, it is usually downhill from there, and it can go south in a...

    Any chance of a return?

    I'm not happy with the trio departing like this, but in his defense, we don't know what was happening. I'm inclined to believe the mental health thing was accurate, because disclosing this to the team and coach, let alone publicly, is not a light decision. Speaking from first-hand experience...

    Matt Birk: If college athletes enter the transfer portal they shouldn't be eligible for NIL money.

    Matt Birk: If college athletes enter the transfer portal they shouldn't be eligible for NIL money.

    Also known as a case study in when you are so inept at managing a pro sports team you can't even cheat right. But hey, we got something cookin' now!

    Matt Birk: If college athletes enter the transfer portal they shouldn't be eligible for NIL money.

    If only there were some similar enterprises out there that the NCAA could use as a model. ;)

    Chronic back issues tend to remain chronic back issues, especially when the athlete was having those issues not necessarily from direct falls or contact. My gut feeling is wherever he ends up, he will miss extended time when the back flares up again unless he can get it permanently fixed.

    College Basketball Transfer Portal Thread - 2024

    In my opinion, it was their lucrative contracts and job hopping that was the predecessor to this g*dd*mn mess. It is quickly turning into no point in watching this "product". It is turning into AAU All-Star teams vs. Rec League development programs. Nothing but cannon fodder. Athletics have...

    College Basketball Transfer Portal Thread - 2024

    The Portal does what The Portal does when The Portal wants to do it. It is weightless. Formless. It is everywhere and nowhere at the same time. It giveth, it taketh and sometimes it returneth. Only The Portal knows. The Portal will tell us when The Portal is ready to tell us. The Portal has...

    Cam Christie declares for NBA (while maintaining college eligibility)

    It is great and all, but personally I do not think he is anywhere near ready. However, my opinion on the matter is irrelevant!
