Help out the Zips Mangers by voting for them and advancing to go play in Indy! They must get to 51% by midnight or else they will miss out on this awesome opportunity.

I just voted and they are now at 51%. Hopefully that'll stay. Also I feel like you should change your name to X/Tavari got robbed of POY.

15 minutes left and Akron has a 4% lead with 52% of the vote if I'm not mistaken. Quite the push today from Zips fans.

NC State fans are pissed. 

 

That's why you never fall in love with a stripper.

Good weekend reading even if you’re not a parent, player, advisor, consultant, HS/AAU coach or agent …

Not surprising, I read LSU has a $40 million roster for football next year. It seems about 1/3 of what gets spent on football gets spent on basketball.

The issue is nobody is going to do a damn thing until they can figure out how to not limit their financial gain with the much needed structure.

BYU paid 1 player $7,000,000 and got first rounded just like us. Still can't buy a championship.

More like still can't win a championship with one player.

 

Get at least five of those players, and watch what happens.

 

Buying wins is happening. That's why the past two years there have been no mid-majors to the Sweet Sixteen, and the SEC and Big Ten have dominated the NCAAT. Even the formerly mighty ACC is looking paltry.

Roster construction is still important. UMass spent the most money in the MAC, but still finished 8th in the MAC. If you pay top dollar for a bunch of mid players that's not going to suddenly make them great. 

 

The issue is there is a lot more money out there than there are players worth spending it on. You're going to see more and more fringe P5 players, like Nate Johnson, command $1.5M+ plus.

 

You have to spend a lot of money to contend, but just because you spend a lot of money doesn't mean you will contend. If that makes any sense.

It makes perfect sense.
