    If you are a wuality candidate looking at this job, how much guaranteed money does it take (per year/years/combined) given the perceptions about this job? How much more to work here vs. IA or IN?

    Refs also not allowing UST to play their typical antagonistic physical style.

    The best college basketball Cinderella story you won’t hear about in March (St Thomas Tommies)

    That's a more likely result short term. MVC has shown a preference for private schools in big markets for expansion regardless of actual following. It wouldn't be entirely shocking to see it target UST and Denver and maybe even Omaha and Kansas City (although the latter 2 are public schools)...

    The best college basketball Cinderella story you won’t hear about in March (St Thomas Tommies)

    UST team plays in a HS gym and the arena is absolutely necessary but it will at best put UST on par with the best arenas in the Summit. USD has a brand new arena (although it's fans suck and it has no atmosphere). SDSU just finished a gut and rebuild of it's venerable Frost Arena and has the...

    The best college basketball Cinderella story you won’t hear about in March (St Thomas Tommies)

    No one should be surprised at St Thomas' success so early in its transition. It's not unprecedented. Schools that have put the resources into their athletics have fared well in the Summit early on. NDSU on the men's side and SDSU on the women's side are good examples. Not to take...

    They are lucky to be in this predicament- the NCAA waived the requirement that they first transition to DII.

    What was your favorite Patrick Reusse moment?

    I didn't read the Tweet as remotely racist but quickly understood the angle that the trolls took with it in his comments. The trolls of course didn't think it was racist either but 1. Took advantage of the snowflake/over-sensitivity of the current age to harangue the old man; and 2. Turned the...

    Conference Realignment Updates

    Nobody turns on the TV for Stanford. If there was value for either Stanford or Cal Berkley, they would be B1G now. Instead they had to beg into the ACC.

    Conference Realignment Updates

    Perhaps some kind of intangible benefit but certainly not financial - that's why they are flying their softball team to the opposite coast for athletic contests.

    Conference Realignment Updates

    The Ivies are going to compete in playoffs now. It will be interesting to see how competitive they are. I assume they will be slightly better than the other non-scholarship league, the Pioneer. From time to time, there have been schools from the SWAC and MEAC that have received at-large...

    Conference Realignment Updates

    Clemson, FSU and ACC settle. The agreement seemingly opens up a possibility for ACC schools to join the B1G with the B1G's next media rights deal. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/44108761/acc-florida-state-clemson-reach-revenue-distribution-settlement

    2025 high school football thread

    At our school at the beginning of the school year the AD was imploring parents to "apply" even though it wasn't actually necessary for free or reduced lunch for enrollment for athletic purposes.

    Who was your team growing up through HS and College?

    I was a wrestler in elementary school and won a Walkman like radio in a drawing at a tourney in Worthington the year of the Elite 8 run. The tourney was the night of the Sweet 16 game and before that night I was vaguely aware of what was going down. I forgot all about the wrestling tourney and...

    Reusse: Unlike the Gophers’ coaching situation, the solution for Williams Arena is simple: Blow up The Barn

    Which would be adequate for at the very least, the non- conference slate.

    Five Guys On A Shortlist: If the U Decides Change Is Needed, Aim High & Don't Be Cheap With That Big Ten Cash

    If you're stooping to the Summit League add SDSU coach Eric Henderson. Keeps on winning despite year over year portal losses (Mayo at Kansas and Kyle at UCLA).

    Arbitration ruling to determine who owns the Timberwolves and Lynx coming Friday or Monday

    What's stopping the owners from charging an expansion style relocation fee? A-Lor have a lot of equity in the team and could sell a billion dollars worth of ownership in the team and still maintain controlling interest, with the cash paying the relocation fee. At the same time, they could...

    Reusse: Unlike the Gophers’ coaching situation, the solution for Williams Arena is simple: Blow up The Barn

    Show of hands who thinks the city and/or state is going to be willing to pick up half the tab on a billion dollar arena downtown? Hard to see it happening in today's environment.
