Elon - You think that Shaka will get
" a couple of years " to turn it around after this ( soon to be ) 20 loss season?? lol

So, they will be " better " by spring of 2028 ?

Prez Kimo is clueless. And Broeker has been a career No. 2 guy for a reason, but if this goes on thru next year, the real donors will crush them, the Fiserv will be a ghost town, and the BOT will have to go into witness protection.  They would be absolutely forced to can him if next year is a similar debacle.

I don't think it will take Shaka 5 years to turn it around, but for you or other Scoopers who thought my post suggesting he should get 5 years was crazy - then those same Scoopers sure AF had a weird double and different standard for Wojo..who hadn't done squat at MU and preached patience for 5 years.

If Shaka chooses to stay at MU he will get things turned around within a couple of years max.  But, I wouldn't blame him for leaving for a Power 4 job at a school with better donor base.  The way our fanbase has turned on him astounds me after what he's accomplished here having come into a program that hadn't won a tournament game in 10 years.

Has the fanbase really turned on him?  This is a message board with a very small percentage of MU fans on it.  And the vast majority say they want Shaka to stay while also saying this years results are unacceptable.  Have you polled the fanbase?

This is a completely natural reaction to this level of losing.  I'm sure Shaka, if he actually is aware of scoop and other fan boards, understands the dismay of the fanbase.  I'm sure he is also disappointed things have gone so poorly with his recruiting over the last four years. 

Overall, I guess I'm not sure what you are talking about when you say you wouldn't be surprised if he left because of how fast the fanbase has turned on him.  The fanbase expects better and they should.  Whether you want it to be or not it is a very proud program, with a very proud fanbase.  I'm sure Shaka takes pride in that fact and takes it very seriously.  I'm pretty sure if he could address the fan base directly he would take responsibility and promise to get this fixed ASAP.

Now if your assumption is right that he failed to get recruits based on lack of funding I get your point.  If I were him, I'd leave for a P4 program too,  However, I'm not sure that you are correct on that point.

Jokic just went 🍌 🍌 in the 1Q vs Minny.  18 pts, 5 rebs, 4 dimes. 

It'll be fun when some players are older than some coaches.

Is there any path to making rules with regard to eligibility and compensation that would be agreeable to the vast majority of level headed people?

In 2-back formations, Brown almost always was the deep back, running behind the fullback.

Csonka was always the fullback every play of his career.

You think you have your finger on the pulse of the MU fanbase,.............you don't.

I think the next most likely suit against the ncaa will be unfair labor law by forcing them out a job. They'll argue against the eligibility requirements.

100% this will just turn into a defacto minor league. True college sports days are in my opinion very numbered. Some say it's already gone.

To be honest northwestern Florida state sounds like a made up school in a sports movie.
