More than a few people think Denton is Dead when it comes to supporting NT sports.

Player$ have taken college sports away from being about the schools to being about themselve$.

Just say "NO" to high school developmental players!

I think those will come in the future. He really is just a figurehead for the Conference Presidents and ADs. He may suggest something to them, but they have to sign off on actually doing something.

At least he seems excited. What did you expect him to say? "We're merging with the SEC" !

Yes, he did. Next up is BYU Coach (and UK alum) Mark Pope... https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/39924986/kentucky-targeting-byu-mark-pope-head-coach

Is this really that much different than JUCO level, where he had to remake the roster each year?

Memphis basketball has been in the media for a lot of things, not always good things.... Memphis will be fined $5,000 plus 0.25% of its average men's basketball budget — based on the average of the program's last three total budgets. Probation starts Tuesday and runs to Sept. 26, 2025.Sep 27, 2022

Avoid HS recruits, too much risk. JUCOs and Portal transfers only.

Tech fans would revolt. Ross has no skins or banners yet as a Dl coach. He has no connection to Tech like Grant did.

Seriously? That would be poor for Hodge's own career. It would be like Bill Belichick to Tom Brady: "Maybe go test the waters at Tampa Bay?". lol How could that possibly hurt Bill Belichick?

I found our loophole around paying out a lot of NIL...recruit more Canadians! "Since Edey, who is Canadian, is at Purdue on a student visa, he is not legally allowed to make any money through NIL deals that take place in America." https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/39882011/purdue-zach-edey-missing-profits-due-us-nil-law

I wonder how many of those 2000 players were D1 starters vs bench warmers? I'd guess 20% vs 80%.

5 years is the common length of a coaching contract. We didn't (don't) have the $$ to fire early. Wren even kept Benford for his 5th year after he ruined the basketball program. Wren made another poor decision to extend Seth, that's all on him!

Yes, similar deal to Wren's at WVU with their basketball coach.

Those are way worse, but you're local, so it's like sibling rivalry. Plus, we're just protecting our turf here. You're the ones throwing cake at us here.

Crazy ending. Seton Hall on late 9-0 run to win 79-77! NT is runner up!

Tied up at 65 with 7 minutes left.

The last 4 fired football coaches would like a word with you....

I bet if you asked Rutgers they would do the same again to get into the Big 10. I thought they were low-hanging fruit for the Big 10 to want. I know they wanted the NYC market but Rutgers has always underwhelmed imo. Some schools would sell their souls and mothers to get into the P5. I won’t mention their Highland Park name.

He seems like he has experience across several college sports entities and media networks. Very glad it’s not Judy!
