And for the record, I don't think the current structure is great but I know it's the reality that we live in now. If I could wave a magic wand, I think the NCAA should set a floor and cap to provide parity.

BleedBlue87

How clueless do you have to be to look at this whole situation and come away thinking the players are the ones who are greedy. There is some crazy thought among people on this board and writ large that the scholarship should be enough. Student-athletes at the D1 level are working two jobs. One as a...

If this really is about name, image and likeness, why don't the players get the TV money? After all, it's their names, images and likenesses we see on the TV screen.

100%. You are one the biggest complainers on this message board. But that's all you are, a complainer.

Brutal hit to lose Ben but this is the game now.

BleedBlue87

Limited income, totally get it. I'm talking about the ones who are suddenly on their "moral soapbox" over it. The ones who say they are such loyal fans but come up with the dumbest reasons why they won't donate. We all see you for the frauds you are.

It would be fun to look back at that Fordham thread.
Take a look at the Baron 2.0 thread. The one that started after losing to PC that year, nevermind the Fordham game

I will admit, I was on that train and have learned from it.

I am green with understanding NIL for this scenario: - donate $ directly to the program OR donate $ to NIL. Or both? Is there a determined formula yet? I do both. Not a huge amount to be transparent.

I would hope that the people who complain the most are also the ones putting up some dough. This is like the people who complain about their kids rec league but don't volunteer, or people who complain about their local elected officials but don't vote.

Coaches that were giving testimony this week said that players and families don’t care anymore about what your plans are for developing them and the family atmosphere etc…all they want to know is how much are you going to pay them.

I'm not sure requiring vendors to contribute to the collective is legal or good practice. I think fans who watch and have the means to contribute should though!

Worst 3 point team in the A10 goes and scores 6 of them in the 2nd half.

Agreed. This team lives and dies based on how well their offense does vs the others. This team will not get wins because of their D.

Is this the same team from the first half of the year? Love to see the growth.

I unfortunately need to travel out of state for this game. I have two tickets a couple rows behind the Rhody bench. Shoot me a message if you want them.

BleedBlue87

I am not responding to one of you in particular but sadly to a lot of you. Maybe it's me who has lost my mind. But this is what I see. We are only 8 games into a season with basically a completely new roster. Last season was one of the worst teams we have ever had. This years team is far better. We...

We came back against Yale but what is the reality of the team. maybe we are a .500 team or less.

I think that’s a super harsh take. I think the opposite. I think we are going to do surprisingly well in conference.

BleedBlue87

Idk I’m not all that upset with this loss. I thought we showed fight for most of the game. I thought it had the potential to be worse. I think this team is headed in the right direction. I think we have a good chance to make noise in the A-10.

BleedBlue87

These refs though. Don’t really care if you want to call it tight but be consistent…

Unfortunately most of our experienced guys got that experience at lower levels of basketball. It should get better eventually.

Rather get all this out of the way now before conference season.

I will be praying for any rhody fan who goes. The line between safely leaving that arena is thin. The booze filled locals talking about the glory days of Ernie D are just one too many beers away from starting fights. Wouldn’t a fan lamenting about the days of Ernie D be in their 70s?

It’s not that, I just think you don’t like to venture outside your worldview. You’ve been like that your entire time on this board. On sports, politics, it doesn’t matter. You believe what you believe and there isn’t any way around. You don’t talk with people, you talk at them.

So... she's in charge of comfortability. Glad that gap got filled I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but I think an important part of recruiting might be making sure the campus is welcoming and that it feels like home. I would think some recruits might value that. Maybe you don’t. Overrated. There's...

Attendance is going to go up and down all season long sometimes for no logical reason at all. It happens every single year no matter how bad or good we are. We literally have the same conversation every single year. It’s no use comparing us to Providence either, two completely different locations. O...

BleedBlue87

Every year we complain about attendance. And I get it. But as we've seen in the past, when the team is winning people show up. Let's remember, this is RI. Anything longer than a 20-minute drive is a day trip.

BleedBlue87

On the ride home I was thinking about the last time I genuinely enjoyed watching a URI team as much as I have enjoyed these last few games. The Hurley years certainly. Those were some great defensive minded teams. But I have to say, watching a team who can score is enjoyable!

BleedBlue87

Great game. House is explosive. He did some moves to get to the net that just looked beautiful. He did this nice behind the back dribble to get around the defender that was just perfect. Zek is talented. Good size, good athleticism. Fuchs, dude looks like a grown man. Always was probably the biggest...

If it were a little earlier, like 7:00, I could make that too. Just can't do anywhere between 8 and 10 that ni...
