I saw an article on the URI Board, (lots of ads so I didn't copy), in which multiple Power 6 Conference coaches said the average NIL per starter is in the range of 150-200k and one SEC coach said you need at least 1.5 million to put together a roster. Another coach said rumor has it, one P6 school had 3 million to work with and the top NIL deal for a player was supposedly 1 million. College hoops is for the most part, far from amateur athletics, not that it has been for a long time at some schools. And why do we want to be competing in this landscape? I’m honestly ready for FCS college basketball.

If they were never caught (or tied), how did HC "blow" any lead?? I think going from 10-2 to 10-9 would classify as blowing a lead…despite still leading by a run.

I wonder if this was the worst scoring differential in PL games in the program’s history. Doubled up in six of eight games.

Without looking, I bet Gregg Maddox appears there, probably frequently You'll see Mark Buehrle and Roy Halladay, for sure. Very quick workers.

Will await the evaluation on this transfer from Foley before commenting further.

This is great. Two teams that were in the 2024 NCAA tournament and UMass Lowell is a solid program. Grab a couple of other western games on the way back.Should be zero complaints on this one. Won't happen as college hockey is "usually" a two game weekend sport. Given this is played over the holiday break, could extend this trip over the course of two weekends.

If I understood the discussions with the coaches, it is the coaches who will decide how to utilize any funds provided by the 1843 unit. This could be getting a type of equipment that would not otherwise be available or something akin to NIL money as needed for player retention. Everything goes through the coaches. If I did not understand correctly, I’m happy to get told, either by public post or private message. Interesting and thank you, breezy. I was under the impression that all monies through 1843 would be going directly to the players on the team. I would think that equipment needs would be done through CAF.

Maybe hiring Division I assistants as head coaches isn't working out for this program?
Jim Morrissey - Hobart assistant (was an assistant for Adam Pascal, and elevated to head coach after Pascal was fired)
Judd Latimore - Penn assistant
Peter Burke - An assistant under Latimore (was an assistant at Emmanuel College prior to coming to HC)
JL Reppert - Maryland assistant
Go hire Bill Mason from Bowdoin or Casey D'Annolfo from Tufts (if you can pull him away from there).

What was the reason Peter Burke was fired? He seemed to be doing fairly well.
Also, before Burke, Judd Lattimore had a sprinkling of success, relatively speaking. A .375 PL winning % is pretty good for this program.
No one is expecting for HC to contend for a PL championship, but being competitive is a reasonable goal. That's not happening at all with Reppert.

Andrew Nesson must be doing well in practices and individual workouts because I'm not sure why HCEK continues to go to him.
We were trailing 3-2 heading into the 8th yesterday, and he came on in relief where he promptly walked the first two batters.

Can’t imagine there are many times in our program’s history where we’ve swept doubleheaders from Army and Navy in the same season.

After a competitive first half (4-4 at one point; 8-5 at the half), Loyola has decided to turn it on, scoring nine of the next ten goals. They lead 13-5 five minutes into the third.

Can we be honest about Fitton Field...take away the nostalgia for a minute. And before I catch holy heck...yes I enjoy going to games there. Yes, it has great sighlines. That being said: Accessibility is poor at best for those that need assistance. How long did it take them to put in something as simple as railings for the aisles??? Bathrooms are right out of the 1960s/70s. The locker rooms...enough said. Press box is an absolute joke. Hospitality suite fits about five people. No lights. Parking is only good on perfect weather days. The all metal look is high school at best. It is in serious need of an upgrade. The campus' front door needs help. You're not wrong...the problem is that it's serviceable and I imagine dropping millions and millions of dollars on a facility that is used six or so times a year is low on the priority list for the college.

Also, not to be a cynic, but I think the attention and interest for WBB takes a step back to where it was in pre-Caitlin Clark days.
