That's why it's only going to be a bit of a pain.

I mean that's going to happen once or twice per year. Which means maybe once over the next 5 years for Akron? Big whoop

I'm hoping Freeman can find a better situation next season. It doesn't seem like Minnesota has plans for him on the NBA roster.

Every conference is difference. Some conferences is an eat what you kill and others split it fairly evenly. I think the MAC gives some money to teams to help with travel, but the rest is split fairly evenly. They used to have some incentives to promote regular season success and meeting certain scheduling requirements, but frankly the MAC hasn't won many additional credits so that incentive pot has dwindled.

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

Is it distributed evenly among the conference or does the team that actually plays get a higher share?

Freeman is back down with the wolves but had probably his best game with 29 points on 7 of 9 shooting and a team leading 12 rebounds. He did foul out and the Wolves lost in Overtime.

I'm an awesome human who lives at the center of Sanity Island.

You seem nice.😇

Yes, it does. Every game up until the Final Four gives a credit. Each credit is worth about $2 million.

I think it's funny when people write things assuming those who will be reading it are as stupid as they are.

The only part that will be a bit of a pain is the Tuesday/Wednesday game out there, given it's midweek during classes. That's the only real issue. Otherwise, I appreciate the MAC taking a wild shot here. The MAC's traditional complacency and lack of progress has actually been replaced with taking a shot at something (even if that something came with virtually zero financial risk).

Doesn’t the MAC get more money for each game played? If so, I’m all for it

I was under the impression that he's under contract through next season.

I actually don't know the full contract details. When I said 5 years it was because that's what google showed when I searched. I'm not sure how much of the contract is actually guaranteed.

I may be mistaken but I was under the impression it was a four year contract?

I DO NOT want to see Miami go undefeated in the MAC & then get boat raced in the 1st round of the NCAA

💯 This.

UMass enjoys fouling the hell out of people and the refs actually call it. My fear would be a game in the tourney where the refs decide to “let em play” or that they can’t call too many fouls for the entertainment value, and then UMass gets the benefit.

Why does this bother you so much?

really good article from ZippedUp with an in-depth discussion of the Mahaffeys. https://akronzippedup.substack.com/?utm_campaign=pub&utm_medium=web

Sure, when we both make the final four. It could happen. 😄

I would never expect the Zips to face them in the NCAA tourney.
