The wrist/arm injury he had last winter/spring is career ending. Really unfortunate....

If it's Drake, that week becomes St Bonaventure/Drake/Richmond. Salty.

I've currently got us penciled in for 12th in the Valley....

It's foam they put over the helmets of linemen to reduce collisions.. They've become pretty much standard issue at anywhere with money, hence why we don't have them....

That list also has the Gonzaga guys on it and the worst recency bias I've ever seen.

Yep. No changes other than the best player in the league playing. Probably won't make any difference at all....

That makes sense, and probably what will happen, but you're wasting a UNI/Drake game and a MSU/SIU game that could really mean something down the stretch.

My preference would be matching up the projected Top 5 at the projected Bottom 5....

Lulz.

Kaboom...

Dude.

I would be happy as a clam if UNI showed up in gold pants. Ecstatic....

That's why Nebraska is okay even though they lost AAU status. They didn't suddenly get worse academically, they moved their medical school to Omaha to attract more students and have access to an urban trauma center. They lost status on a technicality....

The Valley will have a conference game for everybody on Wednesday, December 1. That way they get that first league game out of the week between Christmas and New Year's Day.

Depending on who that game is that week is nuts. Bonnies, League...

I DON'T LIKE CHANGE!!!!!!

Thanks for the update. I'd be surprised if Chicago still didn't carry a pretty big stick in that room regardless of status....

Some things didn't need to change. They should still be playing 6 on 6 in 1A/2A Girls. Would greatly cut down on the 75-8 games that you see every Tuesday and Friday.

Also, I'd propose a ban on every team at every level thinking they need...

We cheat. They cheat. Everybody cheats. College basketball is a cesspool. It's going to be a deeper and darker cesspool now that there's really no enforcement mechanism though I'm hoping NIL brings at least some of it out into the open.
...

Everybody cheats. Hell, if I were in that spot I'd cheat too. It's not a negative, it just is what it is....

Green's gone. Phyfe will use the 6th year.

TJ is also cheating his balls off but that's a whole different story and completely expected with that hire....

With Matt Campbell being the inventor of the color black while he was walking on water, ending world hunger and ensuring world peace, I can see how they're protective of it....

Getting Stanford and Cal is a wet dream for Michigan and UChicago....

Correct. You have to be in the CIC (new name for the consortium) and you have to get 70% of the vote. The University of Chicago is an automatic 'No' no matter who you bring in so you've got to get 11 of the remaining 14 to get in. Michigan and Purdue...
