Please see my post and others under the topic "Unbelievable" started by UNT90....A GMG.Com "world championship" basketball game has been proposed...I am OK to try to get it together as the admin...see the post...let me know if you are interested in playing/coaching/refereeing/helping with the admin stuff.

Yes, it's open to the ladies of GMG.com too...we'll make it a co-ed team event...more fun that way when the ladies smoke the guys who think they are so very "jordan-esk". If we have enough players from both sexes we can have a men's women's co-ed event...who knows...endless possibilities, but it is up to the GMG.com folks to commit or not. Post here or on my PM site and I'll start getting a list together and let everyone know....

If you are Out of town and have a date or two in mind..let me know as it is "harder" for you to get here than those in the DFW area.

Are we on? Can we do this? Yes, we can....OK, we'll see if we can...

GO MEAN GREEN!

Geez, not any others out there interested? Even if you PMed Kram, let your interest be knownst here so others won't think they are alone.

Intrigued, but not likely to be free to do this any time soon. I also don't think my endorsement helps anything.

Depends on when it is and if i can find another excuse to come home for. I used to have a decent mid-range jumpshot, decent dribbling skills with my right hand(serviceable with the left) and hustled on defense(gotta move those feet!). I'm pretty slow, can't jump, and am slight(thus don't ask me to fight for boards - I'll get killed).

But I haven't played in years, I'd probably be pure garbage now instead of middling to decent.

My team the UNT Intramural basketball championship in 03 and 06(06 team actually won the NCAA Intramural Championship held at North Carolina without me.) It should be noted though... I was both the only white and under 6"2 guy on the team and very seldom unleashed on the court. I've gone from hiting the REC four times a week to not touching a ball in 2 years. I might should leave the J's in the closet.

interested yes, even close to being possibly half way decent at basketball.... no

Ditto. I have decent height, but I would guess that no one wants me to shoot (take my word for it). I can play some reasonable defense though.

I'm your 6'6" defensive specialist. Just don't let me put the ball on the ground. It will go off my foot. I'm interested in this, but doubt seriously I can make it. Are we looking at any particular time frame?

OK, looks like we might have enough to play a GMG.Com BB Shootout. I'll start looking into locations around campus and some dates...I will also PM folks to get a "solid" commit...some of the responses here do not really say "yea or nay", and if we are going to do this, and front the costs involved...folks need to yea or nay for sure...given unforeseen things happening later...I get that.

For the "out of towners"...any better time to do this. I am looking at perhaps a March date...you know, March Madness and all that...

PLEASE let me know. This could be a great way to have a game and then an after-game food-fest!

Who wants to coach? We will need 2 coaches who will be willing to draft players when the time comes...any takers??????

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      There are probably 10 levels of donors and fans for a college athletic program. Anyone from a 70-year-alum always a supporter, to businessman only for advertising, to mom & dad only while son is going there, to corporate CEO wanting a name on a building, to t-shirt fans who just like the Flying Worm, etc. At P4 schools when the AD says they need cash, usually someone Big or a lot of smaller someones steps up. At our level I think it's more difficult to predict the donors and level of donations. I think it's also more difficult to find donors willing to give blindly to a non-specific NIL fund than to a specific building fund.

      Disappointed the game didn't allow us to see Mason, Cotton, and Vice.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.
