Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
So basically just like those same coaches have always been. Weird how all of a sudden that's wrong when the players start doing it. This kind of mentality is the end of college sports. How can you compare grown men that have proven themselves and earned a JOB to lead a basketball team and program w...

Re: How much does Oak View Group 360 contribute to the Collective?
If multi millionaires and billionaires with tons of disposable income want to make themselves feel important and pay college kids to play for their team, go for it. Whatever floats your boat. I guess it’s cheaper than buying a team. BTW, I don’t think that is the case at schools such as URI, I belie...

I agree with the premise that those who profit off the sport should be the ones who pay. Not add to the cost for the fans.

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.

Re: How would you rate Coach Miller for the 2023-2024 Season?
Not only were they not talented enough, but they quit on him/tuned him out too. The only thing that could have been worse was a major off court issue. It was not a 3 game improvement…it was 2. The D2 game doesn’t count. And it was only 1 game in the A10. So basically no improvement.

Who on this team seems to play the defense Archie is asking for? This team has talent on the offensive side, but they just either are not athletic/quick enough, interested in trying or just not getting the defensive concepts. You really think it will all of a sudden click for them next year?

We have the fans attention, now let’s reward them with a big win!
