Div. 1 FB and BB is a small part of what the NCAA administers, so yes is my answer.

It maynot be funded in the same way, via the NCAA Tourney, but by the member institutions, basically student tuition.

If you want stay in step as a college coach in the "new normal," you will need to conform to survive:

1. Academic requirements & graduate rates mean nothing to most families of star athletes. It's about the money.

2. Accept that agents now run college basketball. And, unlike NBA certified agents, many are clueless at best & shysters at worst. Still have to deal with them.

3. Evaluation of high school & transfer portal talent is at all-time low. These decisions are torpedoing even great programs. So hire people who know hoops.

4. You have to be willing to cut players who can't play. Do you want to feed their family or your family?

5. Cultivate "sugar daddies" for your program. But don't have them paying for bad evaluations. These are smart business people. You'll be cooked.

6. Hire an NBA guy that knows the international market (most of you already behind) or G League talent.

7. Study new world of NIL insurance so you are protected against liability when the athlete sues. You'll also need to determine how to claw back funds when player is injured for extended period of time.

8. Don't worry about tampering. That's out the window too.

Understand that, while some say college basketball is at it best right now, there will be unintended consequences. Some of it is good, some bad & much, an overcorrection. Anyone who thinks they know where this ends, especially with non-existent leadership at the top of the sport, is a fool.

Will the NCAAT survive past 2032?

Hauser went 7-8 from 3 as the Celtics routed the Pacers. Kam had 4 points and 2 assists in 7 minutes for Indy.

Knueppel scored 16 points in the first quarter tonight but then left with an ankle injury and didn't return. The Charlotte coach said X-rays were negative.

Quote from: Heisenberg on December 25, 2025, 10:36:59 AMOf course, the risk is the NBA team yanking the player mid-season because they need them. Imagine if Cooper Flagg were drafted, sent to Duke, and after 10 or so games, the NBA team had seen enough and "called him up?"  If he then struggled in the association, can they "send him down" in time to play Carolina later in the season?

Gee, we have never seen that at Marquette, now have we?

They would have to been under 15. Once rosters are set for the first game there is no replacing players. But, teams can add if they are under 15.

Unfortunately, Marquette is not

Quote from: Dish on December 26, 2025, 05:24:15 PMIt's ridiculous the NFL didn't schedule a game for today.

If there was a CFP game today they'd find a way to get a game today.
