The Kent board seems convinced that Sendy has coached his last game with the team and that he's already accepted the Fordham job. Kind of odd that he was just on social media promoting Kent's collective days ago when he likely already knew he wouldn't be with the team next year. The Fordham job is pretty terrible. He must really want out of Kent badly. If he thinks Akron is the Dodgers, he's in a rude awakening when he faces the AL All-Stars (Dayton) and NL All-Stars (VCU) every year.5 points

What a great sentiment. Might not be our favorite thing happening to our sports (it certainly isnt mine) but either we have to adapt and support, or die in the dust of other schools. Lets step up!4 points

I saw a statistic on the NIT game the other night that Senderoff has never had a losing record as a head coach. I couldn't believe that was true so I looked it up and since he's only ever been a head coach at Kent, it is true. He's had three seasons where he was exactly .500 but he has never had a losing record. I still bet he'll wake up in cold sweats in the middle of the night at Fordham thinking of Akron.2 points

This led me down a wikipedia rabbit hole of former Kent coaches. Last season Geno Ford won 8 games coaching Stony Brook and Jim Christian won 3 games all season coaching Canisius. Hopefully pinky takes a similar career path as these two awful individuals.2 points

I like to buy a generic one. #1 no name. Or no #. And have the profit go to the collective.2 points

I agree with him and being in the tournament will probably be the highlight of the basketball careers of many of these players. They should enjoy the moment. I think the portal should not open after after the tourney. We had the same thing in football where a team could not play a bowl game because too many players had entered the portal. Makes no sense.2 points

Yes, we hardly have the biggest or richest alumni network in the conference. Sorry yours don't care2 points

Kenni Burns placed on admin leave. Oddly it happens on the same day national reports say Fordham will be hiring Pinky. I wonder if Kent is using the Fordham buyout to help buy themselves out of Kenni's contract 🤔1 point

I dislike him a lot less now that he's gone. That's kind of the point- I disliked him primarily because he was the rival's coach. He did other things along the way that irritated me like the Dodgers/Yankees reference and discounting the games when Akron would win. To his credit, he always kept PCCC competitive. Groce spoke highly of him and that tempered my disdain for him. I regret not trademarking "Mr. Pinky". I think now it loses its value!1 point

He has been my guess for the Big Ten Big Man rumor since I saw him in the Portal. Not to mention he was teammates with Hardman and Eric Mahaffey's brother, Evan, for a year at Ohio State.1 point

I know and can appreciate the passion involved with hating our rival, but I'm genuinely curious is Senderoff truly a bad person/awful individual that warrants wanting his career to tank? Maybe Ford and Christian were in fact awful individuals, but I've heard Pinky is actually friends with both Groce and Dambrot, running in the same local coaching circles and all with mutual respect for one another? I think in terms of fandom and rivalries we have one of the best and I think most underrated nationally, but wishing someone ill will, just wondering if it is warranted by something specific?1 point

Sorry for the outrage ... have known Sampson for years. But the facts still stand. Everything they did was new age recruiting that became the norm very quickly.1 point

Sendy is from 44 minutes N/NW of Fordham. There are 2 specific jobs and 1 generic job I think he would leave for - Albany, Fordham, basketball P5. Albany isn't open, he isn't getting a call for a basketball P5, so Fordham is his escape rope. He knows Kent is the athletics version of the Titanic, hence his comments after that first Akron game. 2 NCAA Tourney appearances and 1 NIT appearance in 14 years after Kent had 5 NCAA Tourney appearances and 6 NIT appearances from 1999-2011. Regardless of where Sendy is coaching next season, we need to thank him for restoring mediocrity to PCCC.1 point

Absolutely, but Izzo is one of the few figureheads in the sport that could affect change should he wish to play his cards in such a way. Until he does, they're just empty words.1 point

So, after tonight's fine performance by PCCC, what brings in more funds? The new collective or the Kenni Burns defense fund?1 point

I give KD a lot of the credit as well for getting us established. Also, as I understand it, UMass will also be able to bring quite a bit of NIL funding to bear on the MAC starting next season.1 point

i made a post Saturday about the collective. I tried to make a donation Saturday and had issues. Thanks for those on here that made comments today. The site is working fine now. As I said Saturday, I am not a fan of NIL/Portal at all. But I do believe WE HAVE A WINDOW HERE WITH COACH GROCE AND WENTZ. I decided to donate now!! Who knows how I will feel in a year or two about all this but i figured what the heck GO ZIPS!!1 point

Maybe a banner at the top of ZipsNation that leads to the collective's website would be helpful.1 point

When it comes to scheduling a school like Akron can’t get in state P4 games because the schools are scared to get embarrassed if they lose. what we have to focus on is going to top 16 programs on the road… this will give us practice at the 1st round of the NCAA tournaments level of play. And those teams like to bring in top mid majors to pad their resume and get practice for their 1st round match up. we need to play Kansas Duke Kentucky Michigan State, UConn. For free on the road. For home game try and get top mid majors home and home.1 point
