Also ridiculous that that game started at 9:45 p.m. Eastern standard Time.

TT losing to bama 26-10 after 10 min..

It looks like Utah State's run is over. It might provide some more clarity to the coaches search as Calhoun was linked to Cincy job. Interesting enough I saw an interview from Calhoun who said last year Utah State had $800k in NIL. This season they increased it to $2.3M. He said he was the 2nd largest contributor as apparently he put up $150K. His phrasing was if he's asking others for money it only felt right for him to lead by example.

Don’t forget conference realignment. That contributes.

Not really anything NCAA can do. The minute they tried to place a cap players will challenge it in court and would win.

NIL should be capped, but good luck enforcing it.

Assuming "upset" is referring to simply the seeds, then this isn't stating Cinderellas are dead - this is stating the gap between the elite programs and the field is growing. Kentucky just got beat by 19 today and Iowa State's best player (arguably) didn't even play. It's not a NIL problem - it's a Transfer Portal problem. That is the #1 issue that needs resolved in college athletics. Not only does there need to be some sort of limitation on movement, but commitments need to be minimum 2 years contractually. Also, teams need compensated for losing talent, especially mid majors.

Well, it was Texas-Pan American when he started. 😉Looking at their history, it's a tough place to win or even be respectable for that matter. Fennell had two winning records there his two years. Maybe WMU is on to something.

Does anyone happen to have the link to Groce’s post-game interview?

Richie’s cross/assist…

Richie Laryea had another assist last night for Toronto in 2-1 win over Columbus great paragraph about Richie. In this article: https://torontoreds.com/match-report-toronto-fc-2-1-columbus-crew-01km95cfm0b1 The Richie Laryea Factor - At this point, it’s not even a debate: Richie Laryea is the heartbeat of this roster. Whether he’s marauding down the wing or tucking inside to create overloads, his work rate and tenacity set the tone for the entire squad. His assist on the Cifuentes goal was a perfect example of his ability to turn a standard transition into a goal-scoring opportunity. When the game gets chaotic, Laryea is the one player who consistently demands the ball and forces the opposition into mistakes, making him arguably the most indispensable piece of Fraser’s lineup.

Don't have the stats for this year but Cinderella is dead

UTRGV was Dan Hipsher's last head-coaching job.

Had to look up who the heck UTRGV is. Not exactly a big name. Not much of a resume, but has been some good places.

Gerry McNamara to Syracuse. Not that Groce was really a candidate for the position, but it's a positive that this hiring doesn't open up another vacancy that might have been.

Interesting...

I respectfully disagree. We don't need him and his attitude (me first). Groce has often said "you have to fit our culture, we are not going to change to fit you" Simmons demands everyone fits him. Besides we need more height than 6'7".

big whiff by Coach Ford. need a viable big.

Agree. Shrewsberry one good season at Penn State. Otherwise terrible.

Nored and Steele have to be frontrunners ahead of Groce. Shrews being mentioned is a joke.

I'm not sure how Shrewsberry is a serious candidate. His run at Notre Dame has been pretty terrible. Nored might be our best hope.

Let’s hope we dodge this. Posted yesterday.

The dance is dead. At least we have the memories.
