The NCAA is intent on ruining college athletics.

It does seem that way at times with some of their decisions (and non-decisions).

As far as I know the high major football teams have not (yet) poached the mid majors, who in turn have not (yet) poached the low majors.
So as of now, the situation of the two sports is vastly different, at least as far as as the transfer situation is concerned.

So as of now, the situation of the two sports is vastly different, at least as far as as the transfer situation is concerned. It's interesting. You wonder if it's because football is more about measurables (40 yd dash, broad jump, bench reps, vertical) while NBA draft stock is helped much more by showing ability to score against or guard players of higher caliber. G5, FCS and even DII players are fairly common on NFL rosters. Low-major players are very rarely found on NBA rosters and sub-DI players are extremely rare / almost non-existent. |

I assume the NCAA didn't just decide to throw a monkey wrench into the gears of their own operation because they were bored and the new fad is to be seen as a "disrupter." Weren't they in a photo finish with the Federal "Trust Busters" (I'm way out of my depth here🙂), a class action law suit or some other such challenge to their right to restrict student mobility and access to compensation for their name, image and likeness that prompted these rule changes? |

Was Fr. Brooks ahead of his time? Just asking. NO |

As some of you know, I'm a Bona fan. Thought at least a couple of you might be interested in how the NIL and open transfer rules can affect teams in the upper-"middle" leagues as well as the PL, MAAC, etc. Granted, Bona is probably an outlier this year though I doubt it will be going forward.
(This is behind a paywall, but you have several free articles and I doubt any of you have yet used up your allotment for the Olean Times Herald. Oh, and sorry about Luc. This isn't the world I would choose.)
Thanks for posting This clearly shows that the bottom of the food chain, as in nature, suffers the most. We are at the bottom of the bottom. The chance of us getting another Gates in this recent atmosphere is none. Actually, we're at the bottom of D1. There's always D2, then D3. Plenty of talent at those levels that didn't mature quickly enough. |

Definitely stinks to see this in print even though we kind of knew it. “If you see a guy playing well at a mid-major right now, you might as well kiss that guy goodbye. Seriously. That’s a fact.” I think the key for us is to have a coach that the kids will LOVE, win enough games for them to want to stay and schedule enough good games to give them a bigger time feel. One other issue is that I think the academics may hurt us with some kids. If everyone tells you how hard the academics are, that isn’t going to help with most 18-20 year olds even if us old people can see the value in a rigorous academic workload. an opinion of one perhaps but It goes back to recruiting players that are interested in the complete HC experience, playing a tough schedule, winning, and a version of 90 wide. football sells come to HC where you can have it all- and it appears to be working in terms of the portal Today in hoops it appears as if we recruit the best available athlete whether or not they are interested in the total experience sell what we offer as special and the kids that want it will show up and stay committed. There's also the chance that the 5th year grad student rule works in HC's favor. Some big that needs development doesn't play as a freshman, practices, becomes a good player by the time he's a junior and has a year left at the end to showcase his talents. |

Let's hope that's kinda the case with Wilbar. Maybe after three years his coach pigeonholed Wilbar's talent ceiling in his mind and wrote him off but a new staff can look at him with fresh eyes and develop a solid low major contributor. |

A guy I was thinking about back in the day was Tom Seaman.
Didn't play at all as a freshman except in garbage time. Not physically developed and there was a lot of talent ahead of him in the upper classes. Would have been easy to not play him at all.
A very good player by the time he was a senior. If he had a 5th year at HC or, in today's environment, a bigger school elsewhere, would have been a solid contributor.
