We should probably save these disagreements for our podcast

He left because Cuanzo Martin got fired and most of the entire team transferred from Mizzou.

He entered this late because he needed a summer class to graduate. Sure NIL matters but all high end D-1 schools have NIL money so it matters in the same way that a shiny practice facility matters that you need to keep up. At the end of the day it's all about relationship with coaches and perceived opportunities.

A 3 day weekend of the Pac-12 dying and us signing our first Boogie in program history was pretty wild.

It appears to be an outlier compared to his other seasons but his conversion rate at the rim (51.6%) was approaching the Trey McGowens zone. (~47.5% over two year here)

I'd give a lot more credit to us likely having a starting job up for grabs and the apparent prior relationship with Howard.

If football does indeed dictate things then the Big East's opinion on anything isn't real relevant

He bet on college sports underage under an assumed name. That's some 'you're good as long as you don't eat these apples from this tree' sort of deal as far as the NCAA or casinos are concerned.

This guy screams starting PG who averages 6-7 assists a game starting for Nebraska. Remarkable pickup at this point in the year.

Does he need the ball though? I think at Ball St last season they probably needed him to dominate the ball but if you look at his previous season in Missouri he didn't dominate touches (no one did). No idea what he will do here but at least as the track record of being a 'share the ball guy on a Power 4 team'

Until the B1G signs a non-at-the-time AAU school, they are a conference that doesn't sign non-AAU schools like Florida St. While I suppose that Florida St could join the Big 12 or something, the SEC makes a ton of sense regardless of what Florida thinks because conferences are always growing or dying. That's my opinion on Florida St until something happens with that school changes it. Speaking of AAU, if Miami was available that's a school that the B1G would look at.

Bill Self keeps hiring this guy because at the end of the day he a basketball mind that makes his team better than without him.

As long as Notre Dame football can get TV contracts comparable to splitting a pie 10 ways or a bigger pie 20 ways they'll stay independent. Just that simple.

Extremely friendly end to a friendly game

Why would you join a 16 team mega-conference if you didn't join 10 team conferences?

Testing out the phrase "Power 4 offer"

Florida St isn't joining the B1G. That's a SEC school waiting to happen.

Yes

Putting aside how illegal this is it's a smart bet to take the unders in Iowa Football
