I just love seeing Groce interact with the players. You can see just how much he loves those kids and his job.

The last line is mostly it for me. Also, I believe all my money going to the collective is going to players and the athletic department would have other uses even if it's all to basketball. I'm not saying there's a bad choice either. I'll get the official athletic link in here too when I have a chance. Bottom line we should all support however we are able imo

I saw him wiping away tears during the senior night ceremony.

Some talk about donating in other threads and it probably deserves its own spot - it's very easy to setup a recurring donation. I encourage everyone to support however they are able. It all adds up and our program deserves the support. https://www.feartheroocollective.com/contribute-zipsmensbasketball

Nate was also MAC player of the year. Eric is currently the fourth or fifth option on a very good team.

Let’s enjoy this week and remember how good we have it right now! MAC Tourny one of the best experiences in college basketball!

Spot on. I work in education. 10 years working in schools with at-risk students. Pass/fail on standardized tests, especially with a 100% at-risk population, never tells the story - growth does. When you help an at-risk student graduate, you're literally changing the outcome of their life, but also the lives of future generations in that family. The work they're doing - investing in the kids, in the families, the wraparound services - is incredible.

Right. I don't see how he's to blame for kids' math test results. Also, no one is taking into account how ridiculous standardized tests are. These kids are from disadvantaged backgrounds, so they likely are behind already before starting at the iPromise school. Just because they don't pass the standardized test doesn't mean the school isn't helping to improve their education. Not all "failure" on tests is the same.

Not to mention compounding investment returns. I just don't see him being interested in contributing to arena. That doesn't really fit the profile for the charity work he has done. At most he might lend his name and shake a few hands, but he's not cutting a $100M check.
