  1. I think it's more than bowl games.
  2. How about just 16? I hate to even say this because it could come true. Are we eventually going to get to the point where we have an excessively short regular season just to accommodate more playoff games?
  3. At what point do the G5 schools figure out that when the bowls are gone, they have no avenue to the post season and start their own division? Why aren't they actively and publicly doing it now?
  4. There is plenty of data showing college sports attendance is in decline. I was at a Texas vs Kansas State game a couple of years ago in Austin. Texas has a beautiful area. The upper deck had curtains drawn and there couldn't have been 7,000 people. A new basketball arena will be yet another albatross around the school's neck.
  5. Respectfully, there has to be a better answer than this to spend tens of millions.
  6. If Akron spent $20 million on an arena, how much do you think attendance would increase and for how long? In its current state, has Akron reached maximum attendance?
  7. Troy's ginger was really good down the stretch. Akron didn't play bad, they just fell short against a team that turned the defense up.
  8. That was a thorough beat down. It's been a while since the talent disparity between the two teams, in either direction, was as wide as what I saw.
  9. This should be the canary in the coalmine for most schools.
  10. Thanks for posting. I think it's even more than the money. Mark Cuban just isn't rich. He has a deep understanding of how to structure complex organizations, including an NBA team. This experience no only allows one to spend a lot, but spend wisely. Indiana was an example of spending wisely. Many will try to copy, but since few have actual experience doing it they will fail. A car dealership isn't exactly Dell or an NBA team or Nike.
  11. Something tells me they will spend it faster than they bring it in.
  12. Frank Martin is what a school gets when they either have no imagination or nobody else wants the job. He had two really good years at SC then the wheels fell off the bus. His time at Kansas State was average. His time at UMass is bad. They should fire him.
  13. Why are the lights at their arena so bad?
  14. None of that is behind the scenes. It went on in broad daylight.
  15. Did someone say food? Hands down, the best tapas restaurant I've ever been to. It only won a James Beard medal in 2022. https://curatetapasbar.com/bar-de-tapas/
