    I don’t know what the numbers are, but I do know that Pollard is both very smart and, at times, very stubborn. I would be stunned if they hadn’t done a detailed projection on net revenue. And if it was really $2-4million after costs, I suspect we’d have alcohol sales in a heartbeat. I’m not a...

    That’s not just AD, that’s everyone in radio. It’s a thankless job.

    JT Rock and Jelani Hamilton will redshirt

    Agreed. I probably misused the word “burn.” There isn’t a downside to a player USING their redshirt year to develop since they don’t need to sit after transferring. Sledge got minutes at ISU because everyone knew he’s be gone after that year and would need to spend the redshirt at a different...

    Tyrese Haliburton sets a Pacers and Cyclone record

    My post came off as rude, didn’t it?Apologies, definitely not the intent. I pulled it from Spotrac, which tends to be pretty accurate. All of the initial tweets say $26 million, so I’m guessing someone (an agent?) rounded up. Not a huge deal for someone who is going to end up with over $37mm in...

    Tyrese Haliburton sets a Pacers and Cyclone record

    When I was a kid, my dad (who is now squarely in the “old white guy” camp) would occasionally tell me that it was better to finish college so that you had something to fall back on in case of injury. This was foolish at the time, because it was advice that I, as a short, slow white kid...

    Yes, and they appear to have recently abandoned it, unfortunately.

    Tyrese Haliburton sets a Pacers and Cyclone record

    $25.5, but what’s half a mil amongst friends. Fully guaranteed, as well, which is the most noteworthy part. Also decreases by $300k each year to make him a more valuable trade asset over time.

    JT Rock and Jelani Hamilton will redshirt

    Not specific to these players, but, with the free one-time transfer, the redshirt math has changed (again). If a player isn’t ready, there’s no downside in burning a redshirt year for development because they can leave at the end of the year and still play right away. It doesn’t cost them a...

    Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?

    The source may believe that. Kleiman may actually believe that, too. But a Brinks truck with $100mm sitting in your driveway might cause even the strongest-willed to reconsider.

    JT Rock and Jelani Hamilton will redshirt

    I remember Larry talking about how tempting it was at times to burn Shirley’s redshirt during the 98-99 season. Making (and announcing) the decision in advance also makes it tougher to make a bad decision during a dicey game.

    NIT Changes

    Nah, conference tournaments are pretty evenly matched and, in major and mid-major conferences, I’d argue it’s a better product start-to-finish than the NCAAs. But Iowa losing to Rutgers isn’t nearly as satisfying as Le Moyne. (You are 100% correct).

    NIT Changes

    I say this every year, but… there are currently 352 D1 teams. Invite everyone. Add a week with an extra set (Tues/Weds) of games. Top 64 teams host, and 1-40 seeds (this year) get a bye, with 41-88 playing the first round game. If would be carnage. 64 games each day on Thursday/Fri of week 1...

    Woodworkers Thread

    We had two bathrooms remodeled a few years ago. I volunteered to do the demo to save some money, but my wife decided it was better to just get it done. And, since it took two pros two days to do the demo that she thought would take me a morning, it has continued to pay dividends.

    Friday OT #1 - What’s My Age Again?

    Sandra Bullock is allegedly 59 years old. Bea Arthur was 63 during the first season of Golden Girls.

    ISU MBB Twitter

    I have no problem with ISU on the outside for now. Too many new guys to know for sure. I feel like the best basketball conference in the country is wildly underrepresented, though. I like the work of both Parrish and Norlander, but found their podcast to be utterly unlistenable. Of course...

    Rocctober?

    This aged poorly, and at an incredible rate. Usually my bad takes have to ferment for at least a few months.
