I don’t know where Ty would start, but even with how talented that team is, I don’t see him not starting.

Yeah it makes sense. 13 roster spots was built for a totally different time. When it was valuable to be on a top tier team even if that meant riding the bench. So freshman would come into a high major program knowing they’re filling up the last few roster spots. Today, kids would rather play a...

With the quad system, where quad 1 losses don’t hurt you, but quad 1 wins help you, there’s no reason not to stack your non-con.

Here’s the way I look at it: In 1946 the highest earning NBA basketball player made $16,500 (just shy of $250k inflation adjusted) and he was also the team’s business manager and publicity director. Even in the 70s, the average salary was $90k/yr for NBA players. In those yrs, a scholarship...

What a disaster that would have been. BW wouldn’t have lasted 4 yrs in this environment.

With 7 seniors, this likely isn’t the year. In all likelihood, we take a step back from last year https://www.illiniboard.com/mind-the-gap-reprint/

Wild that a big man can’t get drafted but can collect $1m-$2m/yr in college. What would Kofi have earned in this year’s portal?

What matters isn’t total number of likes. It’s your like rate. Total likes / number of posts.

We just got full new uniforms last year. We aren’t getting new ones this year.

Talk to me.

Since 1991 - We’ve won 6 or more B1G games 2x. We’ve lost 6 or more B1G games 18x. In that time, we’ve fired 6 straight coaches. Yes, if we fire Bret, we are MUCH more likely to have our next coach win 2 B1G games than 6. That’s a fact. That doesn’t mean we’re doomed forever, but I believe...

Fire Bret & we’re more likely to win 2 conference games per year than 6. (We averaged 2 conference wins/yr in the 18 years before Bret was hired).

B1G wins in the past 3 yrs: 12 B1G wins in the 6 yrs before that: 12 B1G wins in the 6 yrs before that: 12 B1G wins in the 6 yrs before that: 12 I’ll roll with Bret.

To add to this, DGL was born on Feb 1, 2005 and couldn’t get off the bench for a top 10 team. Boswell was born April 18, 2005, and he started for a top 10 team (who finished 4 spots higher than us in KenPom) playing 27 minutes a game. If there’s any kid you could expect a giant leap from over...
