    Has NIL and the portal already ruined March Madness?

    See the NBA as an example of what happens when you put an inferior product on the floor for too long. Eventually interest wanes and people stop caring. Not saying it will fold completely, but it runs the risk of becoming a shell of itself.

    Has NIL and the portal already ruined March Madness?

    They need to find a way to rebalance like 6 of the top conferences back to some kind of regional alignment. Probably impossible with all the tv deals and whatnot, but having 18 team national super conferences is not sustainable.

    I think the copium on Ben Johnson has worn off. Everyone knows at this point he was an abject failure, whether they are willing to admit that out loud or not. No logic used to defend him can withstand even the smallest levels of scrutiny.

    3 options: 1) dead 2) gave up on college basketball after NIL came to fruition 3) too embarrassed to post in forum after defending Ben Johnson hire Sad anyway you look at it

    The Case for Niko (aka Niko’s Case)

    Niko beat down the gophers so bad in the 2023 secret scrimmage game that Ben didn't even schedule one before this last season. Just added a 2nd exhibition game against a D3 opponent to avoid further preseason embarrassment. Just a hunch.

    Marcus article: Gophers are hiring while Big Ten men’s basketball has zero Black head coaches again

    This. B1G fan bases would be calling for their AD's head if they passed up a qualified coach to hire a lesser competent coach due to skin color. I can only assume Coyle hired Johnson because he felt he was the right fit at the time, and the best chance to help the Gophers win based on what we...

    Marcus article: Gophers are hiring while Big Ten men’s basketball has zero Black head coaches again

    He actually said that? Not old enough to have followed Georgetown in the 80's. Wild if true. Also a crazy perspective if the goal is to end racism.

    What walk on started for Pitino? I don't recall that happening, at least not in his last 4-5 seasons here.
