Classes mattering in today's landscape is as real as the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus.

Does this include finding a way to clone Suder? Once he's gone, good luck.

Why is Myles Garrett at the Miami game?

Just get me to Cleveland.

Ay least Scott to Eric for an oop finally happened. It's the little things.

Akron could easily get an additional $1M every year if CBS/ESPN sold 20 minutes of ads for halftime instead of paying someone to produce whatever that garbage was.

Quite frankly, for all the SOS talk with them, this is the best case scenario in terms of at-large and exactly what the "Last 4" games should be. Give teams a chance to prove themselves vs throwing in $$$ P4s.

Forget everything bad I've said about Lunardi. This guy knows ball.

I didn't mean a carbon copy event. Simply playing top OOC mid major competition in January/February. If it takes multiple games in one event, do it. Get an event going where 3 games are played between 6 of the highest NET mid majors. Otherwise, campus site games will do just fine.

#1 Michigan plays #3 Duke on Saturday at a neutral site game in Washington DC. It's pathetic that mid majors aren't doing something like this to help themselves.

Do you know how much heartbreak and angst they could've saved their fanbase over the years by announcing in February that they will not be participating in the NCAA Tournament?

Thank you for this context. Was unaware of Freitag's absence.

Buffalo just lost at home to NIU. They are no longer in my "I fear them" category.

Akron vs Ohio, Kent vs UMass on the same side is diabolical. If Miami avoids all those teams until the final, it will be confirmed they sold their soul for this run of luck.

Shammah is deadly with buzzer beaters.

The one guy just asked if plentiful is a word. I don't think a promotion is in order no matter how much they pump up the Zips.

If the ADs at Ball State and Sac State are smart, they strike a deal with Manscaped to sponsor their matchups.

Somehow need UMass to be the 4th, 5th, or 8th seed to get onto the Sweaters side of the bracket. Or... Miami drops 2 to any combination of UMass/BG/Toledo/Ohio (I don't see them losing otherwise) and Akron wins out to take the 1 seed. Separation is occurring between Buffalo and the rest of the field for the 8th seed. The tournament field might be set here soon if Balls, Central, Northern, and Eastern don't find some magic.

Official. Sac State joining the MAC.

That style offense is what I've been wanting. High octane, lots of movement, lots of opportunities. Most teams won't be able to keep up, as we saw last night. We don't even have to shoot particularly well. Keep this style up.

I doubt they're in the MAC for 3-4 Akron trips out there. MAC schools don't play each other every year and every other game is at home. Could be 8+ years before we make that trip 3-4x.

Injecting $15m into the conference is a nice consolation for being "devalued." Not sure how much more the MAC could've been devalued anyways; the MAC has been on a "joke" trajectory for a couple decades.

Because $15m is a rich buy in for the MAC and it gives the MAC an entirely new market for their new tv deal negotiations that will start soon. The current tv deal ends after the 2026-2027 season. Curious to see if this is the last of the additions or if they get even more aggressive.

$15m buy in is massive. Sac State has wanted to get to the FBS level and this is an aggressive way to do it.
