    Fran McCaffery and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Transfer Portal

    LOL it's an athletic department not a stock portfolio. They make more than enough from football to lose a few million on WBB. I guess you think universities should only put money towards football and men's basketball since those are the only profitable programs?

    Fran McCaffery and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Transfer Portal

    Oh I know there's not money in WBB. I'm not trying to argue that. My point is that as a fan I would rather have them put money in a program that is a lot more likely to be successful. With the crazy TV money they can afford to lose a few million on the women's program. The men's team isn't...

    Of course they should but the big NIL donors aren't very inspired by Fran to donate heavily to the men's program at the moment. Ultimately it's the big time donors that drive NIL not the little guys.

    It seems like a no brainer to me. Pump money into a mediocre men's program that has a clear ceiling of the round of 32 or pump money into the women's program to try and maintain the current momentum and excitement. ROI is obviously higher with men's basketball but even men's basketball isn't...

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    That is WVU's defensive style though and they have the athletes for it. Most teams don't teach that or have the right players. WVU plays a very aggressive, physical defense and it was very effective. The other side of the coin is that when you play that way you risk racking up fouls if the game...

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    Just you wait. Once the top 400 to 500 portal guys have found homes Fran will swoop in and nab guys from Grand Valley State and Simpson College.

    Situation with Iowa Gymnastics coach?

    How is Kirk two-faced and a cheater? Why is Fran a low-life? Why is Bluder an asshat? How is Caitlin two-faced or an asshat? Who gives a **** if they're foul-mouthed? You must not like Matt Campbell or Bill Fennelly in that case.

    ***Official 2024 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    Ya know I was excited to see Brown and then he came in and got absolutely shellacked. Hopefully that was just a one off.
