Reed Possibly Returning?

[Fishy]

He’s joking.

But this year’s seniors might be grandfathered in if the NCAA expands eligibility to a fifth year this summer.

 

[KemBuckets21]

lol, he’s kidding

 

[CL82]

It's funny. It's also telling that the mindset about the NCAA has gone from being the governing body to pretty much being everyone's bitch.

But what if he's not kidding and that's the reason Reibe hit the portal?

(just kidding of course...or not?)

 

[BGesus4]

Reed, Hines, Freeman and the cincy 7 fter with Silas running point… suck that 2026 Michigan

No one should ever joke about suing an organization via social media

Malachi would be perfect for this

Malachi could get a medical redshirt for one year at Dayton and still get another year.

or FIFA

I know it's not likely but if I saw an "I'm back" from Mali I'd lose my shit

 

[Lafayette]

Mali already played 5 years.

And Tarris is of course joking.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

If the NCAA approves it for this year it’s gonna be chaos with a portal round 2

 

[LStudfellow]

Actually, the coolest part about that post is the love Tarris obviously has for playing with Silas... and probably the rest of his teammates, too.

And although we take this for granted, I give you the New York Mets as Exhibit A that it is nowhere as easy as it looks to get elite level teammates to genuinely love playing with each other... particularly with all of the money floating around these days. You have got to know that there are guys out there who believe they deserve to have gotten paid more than they got, compared to others. I have seen a few podcasters mention it, and I am sure jealousy is more prevalent than most of us realize.

We are truly lucky that Danny and the staff look for great teammates as part of them being elite level players to fit into the UConn culture.

I recognize that Michigan’s height made it difficult to score, but I’m really getting annoyed by this prevailing theory that we have to get much bigger quickly to survive. Let me point out that we beat much bigger teams in Illinois twice and Florida, that we were the sixth best team in the country over the season per the NCAA, we reached the championship game and, most importantly, in the championship game, the much bigger MIchigan team couldn’t use their height to score effectively against us and got crushed on the board. The point being while we didn’t win, and I think Michigan was the better team despite the help they got from the zebras, we were big enough to win a national championship.

So while I’m fine with getting bigger if we can do it while also getting better, can we stop with the attitude of desperation because for the first time in 7 games we lost a national final?

If we hit a few more threes we'd have beaten Michigan.

 

[AdamaNation]

If Silas is 80% healthy we win by 6. Cadeau does not have that game.

 

[LStudfellow]

Cadeau also doesn't have that game without the "assistance" of that certain trio of referees. Or should I say "situational blindness"...

Only the NCAA would, in effort to create less chaos, propose something out loud that will cause a massive amount of chaos.

That was the joke. Everyone is desperate to start 3 7 footers because one team last year had a roster that really worked

They really deserve it given all the years they suspended players for getting bought a meal or someone paying for a plane ticket to a basketball tournament. So many young men were just totally screwed by them for years over the pettiest of things.

Agreed. Any time I stop to think about this juxtaposed to how it’s working now, the NCAA just looms as a truly evil entity. I wouldn’t be surprised if they designated something like “Ed O’Bannon Day” in an effort to deflect and seem like they’re on the same team as the people who have been fighting their unfairness for decades.

Of course it’s a love/hate relationship because college basketball is a product of the NCAA, but maybe it wouldn’t be chaos now if there were just revenue sharing from the beginning like there should have been.

Former NCAA President Mark Emmert made 4 1/2 million dollars his final year in office(2023) while telling everyone that college athletes were paid because the universities covered their tuition costs. It was dishonest and selfish of an organization that made an example of anyone who crossed the line this self serving business model. I am ashamed, embarrassed, and still can’t believe the NCAA did this to athletes for decades. NCAA stands for.

No Credibility At All

how long before the NCAA says a player doesn't have to be a student.

A super majority of college athletes are compensated with a free college education. That used to mean something.

It's not commensurate with the revenues they bring in to the university (and the NCAA). Not by a long shot. Fairness used to mean something (and now does, thanks to the courts).

It absolutely is for a super majority of college athletes covering all sports. And the athletes that do make money, get an education and use the school to develop their skills.

If they were good enough to go pro out of high school they would have. Instead, they go to college to hopefully prepare them for a professional career in their sports. This player development can be worth millions to many division one college athletes.

I'm talking specifically about UConn men's basketball players. The post you responded to strongly implied Kirk King and Ricky Moore's punishment back in 96 for accepting improper gifts aka plane tickets.

King and Moore both got screwed. But the player development in a top program can be worth millions to many division one college athletes. If they could've made the same money directly out of high school, they would have.
