Agreed. It's definitely a symptom as opposed to "the issue." We'll eventually end up with another division in D1 athletics as the Akron's of the world can't compete financially. -

We've gone from thinking that kids deserved an opportunity to make some pocket money signing autographs at the local car dealer to backups making millions. It's ridiculous. -

Nate could have told us this before I made my $5000 "anonymous" donation this morning. 😁 -

True. I think he and a P4 team are likely to be disappointed as I don't think he's a difference maker at that level. -

Maybe he's just opening the door to offers, possibly to come back (wishful thinking). Hell of a gift on the Day of Giving. He should have spoken to Ali as to how much greener that grass is elsewhere. It's amusing that his X handle is LoyaltyNateJohnson. -
The flood damage excuse sounds like....ummm.....hooey. I'd be very surprised if Burns didn't have a mortgage in that $750K home. As such, he'd have been required to maintain insurance at all times.

Don't forget, it's the UA Day of Giving. Get in and donate something to the basketball program. -
I'm not going to lose sleep over Parks. I'm not sure he's a very good fit with the up tempo nature of this squad. We already got the better Buckeye.

Yep, not exactly enlightening, but what do you expect from the Beacon. The best comment from the PCCC forum on Burns- "You mean you can't use the university credit card to set up your DraftKings account?"
-
I'm addition, I believe he decommitted from Illinois before his college career. He's gone from MAC Freshman of the Year at CMU to sulking puke that wouldn't lower his hood at PCCC to Lindenwood and will now be off to....?
-
If I recall, former PCCC and CMU guard Reggie Bass is in the portal to join his 4th team in 4 years after attending 4 high schools in 4 years.

Other than he's being paid much more than most of the Ducks players.

Hope this isn't firewalled. It is the Beacon article on the info they learned through a public records request about Burns firing. https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/sports/college/kent-state/2025/04/14/kent-state-football-coach-kenni-burns-termination-letter-why-fired/83087102007/?tbref=hp

Isn't it funny how when you start treating college players like professional players that they start acting like professional players,

8 points and 8 boards in 31 minutes in his hometown today.

So did the coaches. Look who was in the game in crunch time late in the season. -

He must enjoy the view from a seat closer to the end of the bench. -

Maybe he thinks he belongs where his began in P4 schools despite it being obvious that he reached his level of competency in the MAC. In any event, whether he plays at UA or elsewhere, he's a player in some lesser Euro league at best. -
Yes, and they're arguing they could give him nothing if they could prove cause. That's why they didn't just write a check for the full amount.
-
Nope, but he purportedly said no to a negotiated buyout deal. I meant he should take their offer and move on.

Maybe he saw the writing on the wall with Amani's progress. Maybe it was shown to him by the staff. Maybe he wants to go back to a P4 program and playing 3 minutes a game in blowouts. -

That would be a loss but not the end of the world, especially if it gives them the chance to bring in another big. Not quite sure how a Memphis basketball guy would have this inside info. -

Nate has declared for the NBA draft but retaining his eligibility to come back. It gives him a nice opportunity to get in front of teams in workouts and get his game assessed.
