Pre game last night. Tilted Barn Little Field

Wow. Quite a performance. We missed a ton of layups, credit Illinois bigs for making us rush. Wagler is a heck of a player, but I’m not sure I’ve seen anybody get away with more push offs. He’s an offensive foul machine. We got a few calls. They got a few. Some big clutch shots from multiple...

Is Patrick Ngongba really a first round draft pick? Reed dominated him completely. I just don't think he's all that great, but it is a weak class for centers.

If Michigan goes with yellow, I think we could still wear white, right?

Is anybody in metro Boston going to one of the two Alumni watch parties? There's one at Dillons on Boylston Street (a place I frequented when my daughter was still at Northeastern or if we are headed to Fenway. There's another one at the Harp at Patriot's Place (formerly CBS Scene). Dillons...

Yeah, I think this is measuring the "recruiting" NIL from boosters, which mostly affects the portal and HS kids. That's going to get shut down. So teams with high turnover will be higher on the list.

Looks good to me. The top comment on YouTube was pretty on point, Krypto gets hurt, SuperGirl goes full John Wick. I love the very idea of a hot mess SuperGirl who goes off-world to party, get drunk and crowd surf at concerts. Clark is such a fuddy duddy dork. This is a super hero you'd like...

They can't get either if they are on the most common type of Visa. The Rev Share is even more clear than NIL. I think you'll see them applying for different visas than other students.

It depends on the Visa type. https://www.christinebrownsportslaw.com/informational-resources/international-student-athletes-and-athlete-pay

Still cannot earn inside the US I believe. It's a Visa thing. I think it's one reason we (and many others like Illinois) filled those last two scholarships with international guys. They are lottery tickets of a sort, low cost developmental guys.

And yet people made that argument about our 4 seed National Champion too. I simply like the matchup and think it favors us. There's a certain type of team that gives us real problems, but Illinois is not that type of team.

They are shutting down that whole process. So I don't think it's going to be the same. Boosters can't fund NIL to recruit players under the new rules. Schools can pay Rev Share directly, and kids can earn legitimate NIL, which will be tracked and monitored. So UConn, which has done very well...

This is the quote that matters, and the one that should change with the new rules. "It's not real NIL," one head coach with Final Four experience said, speaking to the obvious. "It's donors just paying out there to get the best team." I don't think these numbers even reflect "real" NIL, like...

I have no real rooting interest here. Seems like it should be a hell of a game.

I think some of it is Hurley, who hasn't been nearly as crazy in recent years, but still has the reputation. But the biggest thing, and it's the same for any "dynasty" sports team is that most fans just want somebody else to win for a change. There was lots of hate for the Cowboys, Steelers...
