    ***2026-27 Mens College Basketball Thread***

    ISU should play both UNI and Drake every year, the games should ALWAYS be in Hilton. Its not 1993, we aren't playing road games at low to mid majors anymore. They need to realize that.

    Milan Momcilovic commits to Kentucky

    I just don't think this is all that hard. Milan did what he should do and had to do (Declare for NBA). TJ and staff couldn't wait around for his NBA decision, and likely couldn't afford his return to ISU either. Its the current state, nobody did anything wrong and there is nobody to be mad...

    Dumbest Thing You Believed

    I suspect you were going for light hearted, so sorry for this: I actually think about this a lot, and Mine is that our health care system was meant to help people.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    nobody will need to chase 12-1 and 11-2 seasons anymore. It will operate just like the NFL, 8-5 makes the playoffs. Have to totally change your mindset.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Sorry -- Looks like I'm due for my quarterly sharing of my post from a long time ago: I've shared this a few times over the years, but since OuT announced they were leaving the big 12, its been obvious to me that we are on a freight train express to: collective bargaining, employee status...

    What % of your takehome pay are you spending on living expenses?

    Spending 50% of Net earnings on housing doesn't seem all that problematic to me. Assuming NET earnings includes retirement savings and health insurance.

    I was previously at ZERO risk at falling for this. Thanks for bringing to my attention.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    All you need in college football now is a coach and a budget. Indiana obviously benefited from the new world order, but any team can do it. Very scary to BIG 10 and SEC overlords. Previously, you needed rich tradition, ample recruiting grounds, good coaches, (and of course an under the table...

    TJ signs 10 year extension

    I'll agree on your point. So the "10 years" is meaningless too if the buyout details are irrelevant and TJ is gonna leave if he wants to leave?

    TJ signs 10 year extension

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but the most important part of any contract these days appears to be the buyout, right?

    Milan Momcilovic tweets "entering NBA draft and portal"

    Needs to convince a team he can be Jose Alvarado type value.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Don't want to go down a rabbit hole, but I kinda respectfully disagree. I would say the main theme of the big 10 the last 15 years has been pure greed over everything. During covid, they seemed to put that aside and were willing to sit one out (at least at first). It was just a weird time...
