It's beyond tragic MU won't be in the tournament.  It seems to me it's pretty wide open.

I imagine this will go about as well for him as the Kimmel thing.

And there are still some people that haven't realized, or won't acknowledge, that we have a fascist government

His next stop is the NBA.

That has to be written by someone living on the east coast looool.

The gap has widened even more.

No idea.  We've been hearing Caedin isn't even a D2 player.  So he's a year away from a degree (presumably), if he wants to get free tuition, room and board, get his degree, and then move on, maybe, given that he won't get NIL money at a D3 program either.

Quote from: wadesworld on March 14, 2026, 02:27:11 PMBecause there's no rule that you have to pay every player on the roster.

But no, Norman and Caedin will not be our 8th-10th man.

Quote from: wadesworld on March 14, 2026, 03:08:39 PMRight. I think Shaka could, again, assuming he feels enough other spots opened up to field the team he needs to compete next year, will give Caedin or Tre the option to help them find a lower level landing spot, or they can remain on the roster but they'll only get NIL money they can go out and find themselves. I don't think Shaka is required to offer everyone the money they've received in the past.

No, he's not required to offer anyone money.
But I would expect he respects his players too much to cut their income to zero, strap them to the end of the bench and then ask them to put forth the same effort as everyone else.

After the Xavier game, Shaka talked about the need for depth. I don't think keeping program veterans who he didn't think deserved more than a handful of minutes for a team this bad would really align with that concern, especially with five freshmen/RS freshmen.
