My seventh Bruce show and he just keeps getting better. His catalog is so vast you will never get everything, but missed Rosalita, always a fun live performance. But that’s why you can go to multiple shows on the same tour never see the same program. And watching the band react to audibles when...

That is true. Full amount is credited to your annual giving level, the first sort criteria, at time of commitment. However you only accrue priority points, the second giving level, as you make your payments.

Not being argumentative, but Cadeau and O’Connell averaged fewer assists than Judah and Pedulla only 0.2 more. What makes them more of a “true point guard” than Judah? And to be fair, I would include the freshman from Ga. Tech on the list.

How many “true point guards” were there in the ACC last year? I assume that would be a pass first player who runs the offense and piles up assists, but Judah was fourth in the conference in assists last year and he’s not a true point guard?

I would rely much more on what the ticket people told you than what some people said on an Internet message board. You will see your current rank in a few days. It’s all fluid until it locks on May 1. I have a call with SU tomorrand will try to get an answer about the mechanics of the process.

You don’t change giving levels based on the manual process of applying longevity bonuses to priority points. Longevity bonus simply adds priority points used to sort within a level.

Finished the calculations of longevity bonuses last week. Reps have all the current data and donor rank page will be updated by the end of this week.

Army -4.5 Penn -1.5 Notre Dame -4.5 Virginia +1.5

Based on conjecture from an Oklahoma State grad and Big 12 shill who cites no sources, provides no context, and closes by saying it is only relevant until the launch of the 80 team SuperLeague in 2031? If you want to buy into his drivel, buy into all of it including the proposition that all...

Vermont -3 Hopkins -1.5 ND -1.5 Yale -3

If the payments are made by the schools it would require additional revenue or cutting costs. Despite the narrative college athletics programs are not sitting on piles of cash. The revenue sports fund the entire program and all of the Olympic and minor sports. And unless Title IX is revoked at...

Except the football and basketball groups that are brokering the major packages are too different entities with little crossover.

All good retirees who worked in the Southern Tier move north when the time comes. We're keeping a light on for you!

Trying to keep up with the basketball board and the insults of JB. Can't remember. Which one caused global warming and which one is responsible for Ebola? That and the pissing contests between posters makes up 80% of the content here.

He was also shooting just a shade under 35% this year until McLeod went down and, combined with Benny's issues, the trickle down necessitated the move of Justin to PF where he was physically overmatched and beat up virtually every game by bigger, stronger opponents. The effort he put in on...

Thanks for the tip. No clue, but I’ll add Air Force -5.5

Forgot to get these in and only three games left so: Mount St. Mary’s +6 Rutgers-1.5 Penn State -2

Let’s just say that if snopes.com felt compelled to fact check half the posts on this forum they would have to triple their staff!

Funny. He said the same thing about you!

You 1%ers with addresses all over the known globe have to deal with these first world problems everyday!

I took the plunge and signed up for Brent Axe’s new venture. It’s a text based service where Brent will send a text blast to the entire community with highlights and information. Really interesting now with lots of observations from Spring football. What makes it unique is you can respond to the...

Maryland -3 Army -4.5

Pretty sure JRHEETER even sprung for front row seats for the Boss!

We started having the spring game at night after the Dome renovation. The new lighting system and effects are much more dramatic that way.

In none on NYS

And what ACC teams would be anxious to go to the B12 at this point? I don't think any AD would recommend bailing on the ACC to go to a conference that pays markedly lower media rights fees because of what might happen if FSU wins their case in Florida, wins all appeals, then wins a case in NC...

Check your map. Piscataway is in NJ. In today's media landscape it's all about in state vs. out of state carriage fees for various cable networks. That may not be the case in 20 years, but for now Rutgers does nothing for the BTN in terms of NYS carriage fees.

To do proper due diligence and get a feel for how FSU's arguments would hold up in a South Carolina court. Frankly we should be doing the same in NY, but probably don;t want to incur the legal fees.

I use this site as my bible: https://www.warrennolan.com/basketball/2024/ This is where the predictive-based vs. results-based differentiation is laid out. NET is predictive in that it relies on advanced analytics including offensive and defensive efficiency ratings as keys to its data model -...

Navy +1.5 Cuse +3 2 to come

Here's the difference. The NET describes itself as a predictive based metric. The RPI describes itself as a results-based metric. If you want to award tournament berths based oin what a team accomplished during the season you use one. If you want to select teams based on what they might do in...

That’s what I don’t understand. Why open the portal now, and not after the tournaments? The football portal opening before the bowls absolutely hurt the bowls, but is necessary to give players an Oporto find a landing spot by the start of spring semester. No such time pressure for basketball.

Yes, Dan came through. Seven of us there and another small group enjoyed it. He even had Alchemist Heady Topper and Focal Banger on the beer menu!

Seemingly being the operative word. Seriously, if Snopes ever found this forum they would have to triple their staff!

Confirmed?

I asked Dan Thome from The Wildcat if he could get the app for today’s game and he came through. Headed there to watch.

I guess I made the leap from Quadir not going to class to Quadir not doing schoolwork. From the posts suggesting the former I read that Quadir’s situation was different from anyone else on the team. My bad.

You are wise beyond your years, grasshopper!

Orange United donates 100% of the money you pledge to the sport you direct it to. If you don’t direct it to a specific sport it goes to a general fund. Orange United is also broader based and offers options for more modest donors via a subscription based option that starts at $10/month. It...

Red was very consistent with his standards and punishments. Have to be as a new coach. That’s why the report that Quadir stopped going to class weeks ago puzzles me. If accurate he must have gone to great lengths to hide it, or Red simply couldn’t afford to stick to his standards. Going to class...

If schools have to pay players directly, we won’t be the only institution looking to shed some non revenue sports.

Not really true. NCAA is not enforcing the year in residence rule for multiple transfers while the court case is argued. Not clear if the injunction will expire but moot point. However, court case has been pushed to June 2025 so players CAN transfer a second time with no penalty at least until...

Utah -2 Syracuse -4 Colgate -3.5 Binghamton -2

Odd, but having spoken to three different parents, a couple of players and watching the players interact on IG (including Benny) you would think the exact opposite.

I may have missed something but the way I understand it, there was an injunction that allowed two time transfers to play while a court case was argued. NCAA asked for a continuance to cover the rest of the academic year, but to my knowledge the case is still pending. I may very well be wrong but...

Frankly the most likely outcome is that the schools pay the players and non revenue sports become club only. Not sure that’s a bad thing. I’m sure some will object but not sure what a competitive field hockey team brings to the overall college experience other than to field hockey players.

Maybe Rob should do his due diligence and look into the resumes and backgrounds of Orange United’s Board. Quite simply a mix of some of the leading minds nationally with local leaders including two former Orange athletes. The group is under the SANIL umbrella. Google that organization, Rob...

Well, of course. If they want more sports than football and, in a few cases, men’s basketball. SU AD is not sitting on piles of money, nor do they spend extravagantly. What would be a reasonable salary pool for over 600 student athletes? And if that money doesn’t come from corporate, small...

Again, if the schools pay the athletes, revenue will need to increase or costs elsewhere will need to be cut. Right, wrong or indifferent additional cost of compensation for athletes have to be offset somewhere in the budget.
