Good pickup for SJU. I wonder what he costs ?

My guess is he goes to a power conference, rots away on the bench for 1-2 years and then transfers down to mid major conference. A tale as old as time. It’s all coming together… Commit to power conference school ✅ Completely blocked for minutes as a frosh ✅ Enter portal in either 2025 AND 2026 ❓ Fify

The problem is at this point, the legal system has haymakered the NCAA there is no standing back up. Everything they have tried to do, the Supreme Court or local judicial branches have shut down. It's hard to guardrail NIL when it's considered "unconstitutional." They've sided things so f...

Nailed it. Twitter is probably the best place to gauge fan interest and activity and when you have someone who’s full job is actually disparaging the program under the guise of “being a fan” it does way more harm than good.

BAR. I wish the NCAA had the balls to act properly. When confronted they run away. I’m not so sure the NCAA is going to be the one to fix this.
