Given that most of the pinned posts are either here, or in some cases possibly moving on, can we "un-pin" all but the '24 commits?

Re: Men's Basketball 2023-24 Prediction Contest - And The Winners Are...
3) Average Home Attendance. As covered by RF1's excellent yearly thread, this year's average home attendance was 4,237. Your winner is NHRamFan, who was only six off with a guess of 4,231. Taylor Swift (not that one) is runner-up with 4,249. Winning this is like winning the ugliest dog category. You...

Re: Houston, we have a problem
Not looking to stir up a hornet's nest, but the biggest difference between Hurley's first few years and now: the NIL. Bigger schools and conferences have more resources. Transfer rules loosened.

Re: Davidson Women end season early
Wonder what the effect will be on the A-10 tourney. Will they be "seeded" based on their record (including forfeits), with a win awarded to whoever they would have played? Will they be excluded from the tournament, with a bye resulting somewhere else in the bracket?

In other news, Chicago State (currently playing an independent schedule) is rumored to be joining the NEC. A weak conference gets weaker, with the added bonus of absurd P4 level travel needs. There's a signpost up ahead. Next stop: The Twilight Zone.

Fluff piece. If he'd done ANY research, or knew ANYTHING, Jack Kraft was the first big name coach to take over the URI program. And he mentions Keaney Gym??? It's been a long time since a game was played there. While any pub is good, I suppose, this was mailed in.
