  1. Why has nobody ever thought of selling the naming rights to the arena (are we even allowed)? Probably won't get a ton of money relative to what other arenas get, but everything helps. Got to be a better solution than having an arena named after a Governor best known for the Kent State shooting. Just seems like an easy way to raise money, assuming UA is allowed to rename.
  2. Could mean some mass upgrades that were mentioned a few years ago and not the little presentational stuff they've been doing. I don't really know what else "support from the community" could mean. To me that means they are looking for public money, but maybe I am reading into it too much.
  3. That seems fair, and I don't really think its too far off from what I am saying scheduling wise. Can't speak for 1981 grad.
  4. So instead of shooting down every solution, what is yours to take the next step? Or are you just being a contrarian? Or are you just comfortable with the way things are? KD himself said part of the reason he left is because he didn't feel good after a 27 win season. Yet others on here who stated that were attacked.
  5. Looks like TW even messed this up. University is only getting 100k for KD's buyout.
  6. We all know the MAC isn't good. Luckily close to half of the season is made up of the OOC schedule. Schedule there better and actually BEAT some of those teams and you can make a case for an at-large. Outside of St Marys and Gonzaga, the WCC is not better than the MAC. The difference St Marys and Gonzaga go out and get it done in the OOC. If we were able to beat Gonzaga or Creighton and avoided blunders like YSU, Miami, and BG, I think we would have had a real shot at an at-large. We did nothing to prove we were worthy of an at-large this year or any other year and blaming it on our conference is a cop out. KD can go to that 3-4 bid conference, but he isn't in the MAC anymore. Its going to be hard as hell to break in the top 3-4 of that conference. Harder than winning the MAC probably.
  7. If we are talking budget, I'd start by looking at Kest. She is paid a lot for a very minimal revenue generating sport and her program has significantly dropped off the past few seasons. Her contract is up after this upcoming season.
  8. Seems illegal to me honestly. Is TDM still not under his LOI?
  9. Important to note, and what makes Boals more enticing to me, is that he most likely has some guys he can bring with him to fill holes that have been created tonight...Not sure that is a realistic scenario with most other options.
  10. Hoping we keep Utomi and Noah/Tino. I saw Tino tweet some cryptic stuff that makes it look like he is considering leaving. Like what I'm seeing from Jimond. Honestly, everyone who has announced they are leaving do not appear to be big losses at this point. Maybe we can keep Josh now?! Doubt it.
  11. Take your agenda elsewhere. A new stadium was needed. Keith was the highest paid coach in the conference. The University has done everything they can to improve the JAR/get a new arena.
  12. Agree. Spare us all the the "class" bullshit. He doesn't care about us and I wish no luck or have no thanks to give a guy who is raiding our program.
  13. https://twitter.com/TyDalton1/status/846547159503790080
  14. According to Ty Dalton, he is leaving with his "guys". Assuming there is atleast another we havent heard of.
  15. TDM can leave for all I care. I don't want players who don't want to be here and he has severe limitations. Also, it would be very shitty to KD to poach players.
  16. Official statement from Mr. Williams: http://www.gozips.com/sports/mbkb/2016-17/releases/20170327x5mw8b
  17. If Crean couldn't win at Indiana I'm not sure he could at Akron.
  18. Buzz Williams is at Va Tech. Unless you are talking about somebody else.
  19. Boals is only getting paid like 250k right now.
  20. Chris Jent?
  21. Anyone have a clue what KD's buyout is? That's one way we can benefit from this...some....I guess.
  22. Thats a good suggestion.
  23. Sad day in Zips nation, but we might as well get this one started. Who do you want to target? A name I threw out in the other thread was John Groce. Rick McFadden seems like an obvious name to throw in as well, but honestly if he wasn't good enough for Cleveland State or YSU, not sure why he would be good enough for us. I'm not a die hard CBB fan so I'm not all that aware of up and comers in other smaller conferences. Time to prove your worth, Larry.
  24. crap....Is John Groce still available?
