Did some reading on this Bell thing thanks to wadzip's post. This thing wreaks of conspiracy theory. The dad hired/instructed the son's to murder Johnson? There is surveillance footage of Johnson entering the room where the wrestling mats are but not Bell? If Bell is indeed innocent, it's a shame he and his family had to go through these false accusations. Talk about life altering.

Who else do you guys think appears on this list for the Zips? I'm throwing in Jatavis and Marcus for sure. Kind of on the fence about whether Grice or Pittman will make it. This high would be a little surprising to me, but I think they both are top 70 for sure. Nobody on offense come to mind (ugh).

I think its a good sign that we are drawing candidates that if they got the job, it would be perceived as them making a lateral move. (I get the budget is attractive, but I'm sure most not looking at it closely don't). Still, I know I'd be pretty bummed if we were losing coaches/directors to another mid-major regardless of almost any circumstances.

I concur. I think Zeke might qualify as a pretty darn athletic 7footer. Both of these guys are in a different atmosphere than the Brett McKnight, Pat Forsythe, Serb's of the Zips' present and past.

I feel bad for them, but lets be real, there is never a right time. If you're on schedule to graduate in the spring, stay and graduate (that is if you value school more than a sport). It seems all that have wanted to transfer and continue to play baseball have found a new home.

If Zips football gets canned (I highly doubt it will happen, but still), I will end any and all association I have with the University.

Agreed boring and could have punched a lot harder, but I also thought he explained the thought process well. Would have been nice if he said there is no way they are leaving the MAC (i.e. dropping football). He left the option open. Jesus H Scarby.

Well that escalated quickly.

By offer sheet alone, certainly seems like a player we are capable of grabbing,

Great news. Looking good for me to be able to make the Nova game.

I think you actually helped the graduation rate, Spin. From what I recall, it is/was based off of 6 years (unless there is a recent article talking about a 4yr graduation rate that I missed).

Not saying it won't or even shouldn't happen, but I don't know of any incentive the NCAA has to try to make their game as similar as possible to the pro game, unless there is a trend where top prospects start to go overseas rather than to school, which is a risky move by them. Many prospects bust, some in college and even more once they get drafted. A free education is a good safety net. From my experience (obviously a small sample), it seems like the diehards I know prefer college over the NBA. As popular as the NBA is and as a diehard Cavs fan myself, I even think there are a lot of problems with it.

The University is independently audited annually by Plante Moran.

I didn't get that at all. Can you quote some?

honestly..who?

I pray we have no suspensions/off court drama for the first time in umpteen years.

I caught that too. Everybody has to put in their two cents, but nobody has answers.

The 400k out of the general fund is pretty f'ed up considering all the cuts right now.

From the original plan, 10mil was expected to come from an increase in fees, and 10mil was expected to come from an increase in enrollment. The university cut back on the fees because they received additional funding from the state that they weren't expecting. I don't think they were "forced" to, but it was damage control nonetheless.

Don't have a link (I was reading one of those old school paper copies), but there was a sizable article this morning in USA today hyping up Frohnapfel.

already been stated that that won't be happening.

Maybe im wrong, but being out for the season before the season even starts because of hand surgery doesn't seem right to me. If true, however, I wouldn't be shocked if we have seen the last of MTB in a Zips uni.

Saying all or even most police are not heroes/are corrupt is as bad as saying all or even most African Americans are criminals.

Thanks for sharing. Maybe it will quiet some questioning why there were no admin cuts
