For what its worth, I am not certain we see Bradley playing in front of crowds for awhile, so I don't think its something I will be too concerned about. Just so we're all clear here, Bradley can probably cobble together an athletic department budget without having fans in attendance this year. I th...

I’d let the entire venue spit in my mouth at a BU final 4 appearance. Kind of disgusting :gagl , but I think I'd be in line right next to you. :shock: I genuinely like you boys, but I'm gonna take a hard pass on any and all of that. It was enough for me realizing several days later that I was huggi...

Other nba players?

I was thinking more along the lines of billionaire grandpa, but yeah sure that too...

Nah I believe this means they are starting from scratch. BU is not participating in the paradise jam.

La Salle has cut 7 programs: baseball softball volleyball men's tennis women's tennis men's swimming & diving men's water polo Which, considering volleyball is on the list, it is perhaps surprising that they are still at 18 varsity sports (from 25), as volleyball seems pretty core. Schools like La ...

Doc reminds me of Doug Collins. They both can pull 25-30 win talent to 42-40, but they can also pull 60 win talent to 45-37. Doc at least won the title with 3 hall of famers in Boston, but only got 1 title out of the group.

Anybody know if any of these preseason tournament bubbles (specifically Orlando or if one ends up in Indy) expect to allow fans? Florida just lifted all business restrictions and capacity limits at outdoor events, but I can't find anything about indoor events. Indiana removed capacity restrictions ...

Assume that is a $$$ issue. Had a chance to get out and took it. And they don't get their *** handed to them. Can't blame them.

Washington DC for the paradise jam. Apparently they were looking for a location that was the exact opposite of Paradise. Yuck. Do you know if fans will be allowed at this tournament? DC is only a 5-6 hour drive from me. It probably depends which locale of the DC area it winds up in. You have 3 diff...

All of this aside, the more I think about it, I am wondering if McNeil should have been fired? Suspended - yes. Again, we can all agree he should not have said comment. It was wrong. But he did remove it within thirty minutes, apparently realizing it was wrong. He didn't comment on the woman's phys...

I wonder if teams will have bigger practice squads/more walk-ons in order to be prepared for multiple player COVID outbreaks during the season? Has the NCAA made any recommendations to teams on how to handle this scenario? That’s a double edged sword. I don’t know the right answer but the pessimist...

The Score is toast folks. The whole station sounds like a weekend and holiday broadcast from years past. Bernstein is washed - succumbed to his super-wokeness. Parkins is ok, but skewed a little to Bernstein. Holmes is a snoozefest.

Same ol Mitch.

I would assume the vast majority of schools would be against it as well. The majority of coaches have bonuses or triggers based on NCAA tournament appearances. How do you pay out some dude that gets *** pounded by Duke as the #350 seed?

Ozzie Smith isn't a hall of famer either.

Won’t be long now until Peoria, Illinois emerges as a potential bubble location.

Players might be safer with sports and everything structured than without sports and left on their own. I read today where Wake Forest is spending $75,000/week to test their athletes twice each week. Once the football season starts the ACC is also requiring a third gameday test onsite. That's how i...

And Bradley's Paradise Jam (originally scheduled Nov. 20-23)

Not the worst thing to happen if that got cancelled.

I believe we can find a way to get past these issues that are affecting us. I don't think that progressivism/socialism is the answer to all of our problems, just like I don't think free market capitalism is the answer. Maybe we can find a middle ground. I agree. Most things would be solved easily w...

Honest question... Would Delany have done things any differently if he were still in charge? Jim Delany was arguably the most powerful guy in the NCAA. I’m sure he wouldn’t have left his Richard in the wind like the new guy has consistently done so far. The end result of cancelling the season might...

Well I wouldnt hold your breath on that one. Especially in the current climate.
