And the strange thing is that the NBA must have already come to this awareness, so the next CBA contract has to take all this into account.

Yes, I mean, Invesco and TurboTax's advertising company didn't randomly hit on Solo and Braylon for commercials. I am sure the school was talking to boosters and advertising people and the company itself to make all that happen. It's muddy... and my guess, it will forever be from here on out.

Rutgers has 50,000 students, 41,000 undergrads. There is something inept about Rutgers sports. You have more advantages recruiting-wise than, say, Iowa or Wisconsin. Much bigger student body than Iowa, a little bigger than Wisconsin, but the talent for football and basketball in your backyard...

Why wouldn't universities want to consider them employees? So many university students are already employees and they even count them in the total dead count of staffers to students. The decision in Alston over turned the Brown U. case which created a special class for research and teaching...

Allen Graves has been mocked in the lottery part of the draft by some.

He was really mad!

It tricked me! I could've read "NotJoNRoth"

OK, but then there's Bouknight. That needs to be a consideration for every kid. The NBA is highly competitive. Getting drafted at 25 assures you of nothing. So the question is "How do I stick in the NBA?" What's the best path. There is something to be said for gameplay. You can't simulate that...

What's also strange about the minutes thing is that he often came close to fouling out in 10 minutes. Minutes should be the least of his concerns at this stage in his development.

And yet we need a power forward.

Multiple times this team has had some struggles in the BE ('09, '11, '14, '23, '26) and made it to the Final 4, so you're right: clearly, we're never going to learn.

The really weird thing about all the St. John's discourse in the national media is that they seemed to think UConn played 2 games against them and UConn lost both. I heard commentators on the networks say, "UConn was blown out by St. John's 2x in 2 weeks." These knuckleheads associated going 17...

It's the refs. Your offensive sets depend on timing. That screen is choreographed. What happens when you get a 2 hand push in the back and you can't get there? What happens when cutters are grabbed and they gum up the works?

We had a better record than Florida and beat them head to head. Should've been seeded ahead of them. But beyond that, you can't expect to beat 5 or 6 of these teams each year and lose 0 or 1 games. You'll get dinged badly, then 2 or 3 losses in the BE, and you're the 5 seed facing a 4. You...
