Agreed. They weren't as successful back then...but the Fieldhouse was a great environment in terms of noise and fan involvement.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
In looking at the records, that's a pretty good example. Before moving to the Kohl Center, the Badgers never had a 20 win season. Their first was the first year in the KC. In the 19 years they have been in the KC, they have had only 3 years of less than 20 wins and none since 2005-06.
Not only is the "never had a 20 win season" false, but the ~avg # of games per season when at the FH was 24; Kohl hole days it's been 34Way better at Kohl hole, but facts are cool
I jumped out of the discussion on the transfer rule change a few pages ago and haven't kept up, so my apologies if this has been discussed here, but is allowing student athletes to be immediately eligible when transferring really a good thing academically? In terms of athletically it might be (though a year to adjust to the new school/coach/system/etc. might not hurt, if you think of the recent grad transfers we've had it took guys like Carlino, Lockett, and Reinhardt a month + into the season to really find their role). But with the likelihood that at least some of the transfer's credits don't transfer over to their new school, that can be a pretty big set back academically, and being a D1 college athlete it can be hard to make those up. I know they take summer courses, but aren't you still making it pretty unlikely that the transfer graduates in 4 years?
Probably no worse that what an incoming freshman experiences.
But an incoming freshman isn't losing credits towards graduation that they've already earned.Academically you have to try pretty hard not to remain eligible as a high major, major sport division 1 athlete. It's not really about getting passing grades with all of the support they have in place. You're not just hurting yourself if you aren't passing your classes as a student athlete, you're also hurting your program, so they're going to do pretty much everything they can to make sure you can a) be eligible to be on the court helping your team succeed and b) not hurt your program's APR. The problem here is that you're probably not taking 16-18 credits because of your athletic commitments, so you're going to be taking summer classes to make up for them, which is fine. But when you start to lose those credits because they didn't transfer from one school to the other then suddenly you're in a pretty tough position to graduate by the time your athletic eligibility expires.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
My bigger ? is about JUCOs. If its about helping the athlete academically than why are JUCOs immediately eligible?
Do we have any idea how many of Froling's credits didn't transfer or are you speculating about this being a common problem? Just wondering, not a slam.
A JUCO w a two yr degree, as is most often the case (MU has had some exceptions), can't continue their education at their current school. The decision tree is end education or do. It end it, hey? Very diff animal than a 4-4 D1 transfer
I think this part is completely overblown.Does anyone have an example of a situation where a team got a new arena and the program as a whole measurably improved?
Schools/coaches should not be able restrict transfers to another school. Call it the Bo Ryan rule.
If tampering is suspected, they absolutely should be able to.
Easy to say tampering is suspected, hard to prove
Somebody gets Buzz-cut or Pole-axed or whatever by a coach - in other words, they get recruited over and they actually are highly "encouraged" to transfer. That exact thing could happen if we are lucky enough to get Grimes.Should that kid really have to sit out a year?(I admit to not being as up on the rules as some others here. Maybe that kid wouldn't have to sit out?)
Someone please talk to 82 so he doesn't have to carry on a conversation with himself.
It's often the only way I can get anybody to listen to me.My poor dog. We have quite the "conversations" every time I walk her!
So your ménage a trois consists of "me, myself and I", ai-na? Variety is the spice of life.
