I mostly agree, but I think there are a lot of times where a board approves a buyback with an eye toward its stock ledger, too.  E.g. if a company has a relatively high proportion of outstanding shares from exec compensation or past mergers, the board knows that when they consider a buyback vs dividend or other uses for the cash.  I think buybacks can sometimes be used to help founders and execs get liquid without having to sell their shares and raise questions of confidence in the company.

For sure, nothing you said here is out of bounds and no doubt a buyback can be a way for management to print money for themselves in a way.  I just don't subscribe to the notion that shareholders and "large shareholders" need to be separate in any way to make it look any worse.

Yes, UCONN continues to widen the gap. Now we can have the haters here descend with the name calling because somebody objectively points out the obvious. Hater namecallers like Hardon Alumni., etc.

The only gap that is widening is the empty space between your ears, no willie.

I agree with this, and yet the A's are only 2 games under .500 and in third place. It lends credibility to the position that the White Sox are purposefully tanking (for no reason I can explain) or JR is not fit for owning a team (not just in a fan's perspective of "our owner sucks", but actual diminished cognitive capabilities).

You should have to disclose your financials if you fall under the median total salary threshold

Hangin' at the Al / Re: Crean vs Buzz vs Wojo vs Shaka

1) Shaka
2) Buzz
3) KO
4) Crean
5) Raymonds
6) Deane
7) Wojo
8) Dukeit

Program never had earned a 2 seed prior to Shaka's arrival, and Shaka did it back to back.  Yes, you'd hope for deeper runs with a 2 seed but he did win a Big East conference title outright, and a Big East Tournament Championship, when no previous coach got beyond the semi-finals.

A little difficult to rank Crean 4th, yet Buzz was a better coach, and the cupboard after Year 1 was EMPTY.  To go S16, S16 and Elite 8 trumps 1 Final Four with a generational talent.

KO inherited an absolute trainwreck of a program, far worse than what Crean inherited from Deane, which is why KO ranks higher IMO.

I know you have some looney takes, but you can't possibly think that the program was in a worse place when Crean left than it was when he arrived, can you?  You're just trolling at this point, right?

Too cartoonish for me. Watched one episode and didn’t go back for more.

What else do you want? We already have a game with Ben's second choice, Stony Brick!

I know, staying in school when you can get paid now is an insane take in 2024, when everyone is already getting paid anyway…

All I’m saying is that jumping early isn’t as sure fire an argument as some make it out to be

Age is HEAVILY considered when teams draft players.  They're more likely to take a chance on a guy who is younger with potential.  Especially, early in the draft.
