    RPI, SOS

    I feel who you beat should count. But I don’t think you should get credit for playing a tough team if you lose.

    NIL Law update

    Until very recently, there weren’t many viable options. The NCAA has such a huge portion of top coaches, facilities, and TV rights, there was nowhere else to go.

    OT: Drought is over for Canada

    I think going forward, the US will make it a point to add size - it won’t be easy as most of the top talented bigs in the NBA are foreign

    OT: Drought is over for Canada

    You’ve got your answer

    OT: Drought is over for Canada

    Well, at least I get to see them play each other

    OT: Drought is over for Canada

    Tough beat - I was hoping for US and Canada in the finals

    OT: Drought is over for Canada

    There's a...There's a scallop festival? Why am I only finding out about this now?

    OT - Caleb White ( HS PG in AL)

    Glad you are doing well. The idea that they can shock someone into normal rhythm freaks me out, but I'm also not smart enough to get into medical school.

    Conference Realignment - Basketball Future

    Why do the ACC payouts change when Texas and Oklahama jump?

    Carmelo officially retiring!

    Hey, he thrived under George Karl and I’m sure everyone who’s played for Karl wants to murder him

    NCAA Tourney Expansion?

    Part of me would like to try FA cup style and let everyone in. I'd only seed the top 64, the rest are assigned randomly. C'mon, just try it one year and see how people like it...

    Carmelo officially retiring!

    He’s definitely in the all time 75 list, but I think 30 is a stretch
  13. RandygoCuse

    Carmelo officially retiring!

    I love Melo but I call out someone if I think they are way off
  14. RandygoCuse

    Carmelo officially retiring!

    In my opinion, he hasn’t come from a position of appreciating history
  15. RandygoCuse

    NCAA Tourney Expansion?

    Well, people are at least showing some interest in the games.
  16. RandygoCuse

    NCAA Tourney Expansion?

    I stand corrected - Out of curiosity, what does a "view" mean? Are people watching for a significant amount of time or just checking in?
  17. RandygoCuse

    NCAA Tourney Expansion?

    I'm not so sure the data supports that - do people watch the first four? No one ever includes it in their brackets.

    Dickie V diagnosed with lymphoma

    Agreed - I have fondness for that phrase as he used it in Blue Chips.
  19. RandygoCuse

    Carmelo officially retiring!

    What eye test is he using?
  20. RandygoCuse

    NCAA Tourney Expansion?

    I agree it works for the NBA.
  21. RandygoCuse

    NCAA Tourney Expansion?

    They need to go back to 64. Nothing beyond that garners significant interest. I guarantee that if they expand, 99.9% of tournament pools won't require picks until the field is at 64. I appreciate everyone attending this Theodore Conversation of mine.

    Mookie Jones: His Syracuse suspension, food stamps, building a program and mentoring kids

    If I recall correctly, he has a teammate (also with a father in the NBA) that had a hard time getting schools to look at him.

    Dickie V diagnosed with lymphoma

    That's great to hear. And I'm glad your friend's husband is beating the odds.

    Dickie V diagnosed with lymphoma

    What is the news? Pancreatic cancer has typically had such a low survival rate.

    Uconn to the B12 looking likely

    I wish we could add one more school (or take one away) in each division so you play an even number of home and away games.
  26. RandygoCuse

    Carmelo officially retiring!

    I also think that right after he signed the long-term deal with NY, he realized it was a mistake.
  27. RandygoCuse

    Carmelo officially retiring!

    I remember reading an article before the draft -it was a given that LeBron wold go first. For the 2nd pick the writer favored Darko. He said Melo would be an All Star but Milicic would be a Hall-Of-Famer. Glad Melo beat expectations.
  28. RandygoCuse

    Carmelo officially retiring!

    And I remember when they talked about that on The Sports Reporters (which I watched religiously), all they could mention was the 0 assists. Never mind that he shot a great percentage, the rest of the team didn't shoot nearly as well, and THEY WON THE GAME.
  29. RandygoCuse

    Carmelo officially retiring!

    A great career - He put us on his back! And what gets lost in his NBA career is how bad Denver was the season before he came to the team. He never missed the playoffs with them and took them to the conference finals.

    Another former target

    Matlock and Dennys? :-)

    I asked Bard AI(from Google) why Syracuse basketball has struggled the last few years

    Yes, but can you write a script of a comedy drama where JB is sentenced to share an apartment with Jim Calhoun for a year? I call it Home Court.

    LeMoyne College exploring move to D1

    I'd love to see a "Premier" division - For football, all the Power 5 schools and a few select others that could compete. For basketball, all the major conferences and a few other select schools. The ones that simply can't compete with them shouldn't have to.

    NIL has changed me as a college sports fan...and it ain't for the better

    I'm not wild about the "Just go somewhere else" argument. College basketball has become a cartel in that they have such a huge market share of top coaches, facilities, and TV contracts that they wouldn't get in most other industries. It makes it extremely hard for other leagues to compete in...

    NIL has changed me as a college sports fan...and it ain't for the better

    I don't think the rate needs to be reasonable. And if somebody wants to pay someone 6 figures to play on campus, that's no problem with me either. It's not my money.

    the JB accident settlement

    ding ding ding

    the JB accident settlement

    I hate to be that guy, but I’m pretty sure we shouldn’t be talking about it
  37. RandygoCuse

    NIL has changed me as a college sports fan...and it ain't for the better

    They play for free (scholarship isn’t the same as pay)and coaches can recruit over them - which is often one of the reasons they transfer. Athletes have a limited amount of time to showcase their skills and make a name for themselves. I have no problem with keeping them from jumping to another...

    NIL has changed me as a college sports fan...and it ain't for the better

    I'd let kids transfer wherever they want. Every other major sports leagues doesn't make athletes sit out, the NCAA can adjust.
  39. RandygoCuse

    the JB accident settlement

    Yup - and with people driving bigger cars, it's a problem on the rise. I say this as the owner of an SUV.

    NIL has changed me as a college sports fan...and it ain't for the better

    For this reason, I always thought it would have been ideal for CFB and CBB to D1 into two divisions where the best conferences (for FB that means the Power 5 and a few others, for BB, the Power 5 and other select conferences) form a premier division. The lower division can still have athletic...

    Melo to Phoenix?

    Would be a great way to finish - obviously he couldn't be the team leader. But I could see him stepping up big in a Finals or Conference Finals game to cement his legacy.

    NCAA goes to court

    I'm all for athletes being able to cash in on NIL. It gets a little trickier when considering if they should get paid directly to the school. Does tuition play into payment? Do all athletes get paid to comply with Title 9? Will it cause raises in already high tuition? Or will it lead to...

    Fan contests

    So send it to OT - I mean, how long could it go on?

    Charlie Baker named new NCAA President

    He was the CEO of an organization I worked for and he was fantastic. Hope he does the same for the NCAA.

    Jerami Grant: Trailblazers

    I'm always shocked when I see how few rebounds he has averaged. At least he's stepped up the 3 point shooting.
  46. RandygoCuse

    Out of the box next coach:

    If they can help us get back on track, I don't even need the 2-3 years.

    Congrats to nycfan!

    Mazel Tov man, that's amazing!

    One and Done going away?

    Look, there’s no need for profanity

    One and Done going away?

    I don't think a kid should have to travel halfway around the world when there are people willing to pay him in the US - and it's generally better money too.
