We talk a lot about the B1G and SEC taking over football, but the same thing is happening in hoopsā¦
Check out this breakdown from Lunardiās bracketology:
24 bids for 34 teams. 71%.
I donāt think the folks in charge are going to stop until they destroy all but their favorite brands.
Yeah, we are approaching the point where there is no point in fielding athletics.
Even the ACC only has ONE ranked team.
clt says you should ask bilas about that. the conference of his alma mater is irrelevant
The conference is definitely down but canāt say that about his alma mater. Duke #3 in the NET and likely a #1 seed come March.
We are so fucked.
In the spirit of you have to spend money to make money, NCAA tournament credits for 2024 were worth $2 million each. You get an extra credit for each round you advance.
Put together a 2nd round team and youāre bringing in $4 million. Itās paid out over several years, but if you sustain success you can average a few million in credits each year, mostly funding your roster.
Then thereās the argument that there are plenty of real coaches getting there without resources.
We are doing things the wrong way.
Trying to remember how AAC distributes the credits. Equals shares or does the school that actually made the NCAAT get larger payout?
P5 happier now that the Valley probably going to be a single bid:
Albinās now former Bobcats colleague:
Oh man yeah I forget how dominate our MBB teams were that final year in conference.
Realize itās only 2 games, but we need to be able to find more guys like this.
Looks like SEC not going to be a cakewalk for anyone.
UF 58-28 at the U8 TO in second half. Oof!
Bro these sound like military callouts what in the world are you saying?
That the #1 Vols are getting their asses kicked by the Gators. Milicic basically a no show offensively just a night after Patterson finally does.
U8 TO = under 8 minutes time out
Maybe they didnāt get their NIL checks this week. A little quiet quitting??
