Does anyone know if MSM has any kind of NIL collective?

I'm really curious about this move by Coach Dan. I'm assuming he will get an increase in pay; wonder if he had a prior relationship with Autry (The Basketball Tournament, maybe?). I'm curious because I'm wondering if this might be the start of a trend - sitting low D-1 coaches latching on to a position in the pro-college division of NCAA basketball. Maybe he is as optimistic about the future of low D-1 ball as I am (which is, not very). He also had a couple of really good freshmen hit the portal; maybe that played a part. At any rate, good luck to a good guy. Wish JB a good transition as well.

Correcting myself: Thornton Mellon was on the diving team, not the swim team.

How long before the rules change again, to allow schools to poach players riding the pine in the NBA or G league (that still have some NCAA eligibility). Like Thornton Mellon joining the swim team in Back to School.
Hey Lebron - sonny doesn't have to play in the NBA; you've got eligibility, just join him back at USC!

Probably just a matter of time before they become Bilikens, assuming that roster has already been purged.
Good grief.

Ok, Mountain West Conference, here's the deal:
You gave us Dorsey We gave you Asante You gave us Octave We gave you Sluka
Your turn - bring us Manyawu
Looking at some videos, he reminds me a bit of a more athletic Louth. He sure would pair nicely with Caleb, but what is he looking for?

Ok, this young guy created some youtube videos this past season where he rates his visits to the D-1 venues in Massachusetts. Granted, just one guy's opinion, but he was quite complimentary of the Hart:
Here are others I could find:
Something to pass the time while waiting for the impact transfer to arrive.....

What's even sadder is now that fun to watch ISU team is likely to be dismantled, if (when) their players follow the coach to St. Louis.

At today's Sox at Angels game, there is a guy behind the plate (to the far right, in a run way) with a HC shirt on. He's been waving his arms to distract the Sox pitcher. He keeps popping in and out of view.

I remember driving up to Exeter Academy in the spring of 2017 (2017!) to see his team play for the NE Prep championship in their division...only I wasn't there to watch him, but rather Kyle Copeland. But very early on I remember checking out the program to see who the heck this kid was, who was playing very well. Javante McCoy was also on that team, and their opponent that day was a team (Milton Academy?) that featured Cormac Ryan, who just finished up his college career. Seems like a lifetime ago!

I hope it stays that way. It's the only way the league is going to improve. And I personally think those Loyola players should reconsider.

Bronny James (USC) in the portal - wonder what Dad thinks That Bronny is a chip off the old block. Dad hasn't been shy about changing teams. Oh boy - let me know when "The Decision - The Next Generation" airs. Want to have my chips and beverage at the ready.

"Students" wanting to be paid like pros will need to adjust to being treated like pros by many fan bases, maybe even this one. I've always tried to be careful about being critical of players, whether online or at a game, but I'm wondering if my attitude will change if I find a player is financially readier for retirement than I am. Only partially kidding.

Just seems like D1 hoops (and FBS/FCS football) are more or less pro leagues now. For hoops, it seems like it's a matter of whether or not you want to be in the major leagues, Triple A, Double A or Single A ball.....or drop down to the D2-D3 amateur level. Yuck

Dont think I've ever watched a HC game featuring commercials with an opposing player. Quickly becoming Caitlined out.

No matter what happens, they certainly aren't in awe of the Queen and her Court. You alums have a lot to be proud of.

With Colgate, unfortunately I think the game confirmed what we suspected all along - they just weren't quite as strong as some of their other recent teams. Remember, they hadn't had to face even a top 200 team in almost 3 months. I don't think it was really a matter of being unprepared.
For instance, while Braeden Smith is a fine player and pg, he wasn't going to go off for 35 points like Jordan Burns did against Tennessee. The Moffatt Man, while again a fine PL player, was not at the level of Tucker Richardson. And while young kids like Cox and Parker Jones have promise, they couldn't be expected to have the same impact in a game like this that Nelly Cummings or Jack Ferguson would have. Really, the Mayor of South Kingstown was the only one who looked like he could punch up a level. Course, if Baylor shoots like that going forward it's going to be tough for any team to bring them down.
