    Illinois 81, Texas Tech 77 Postgame

    I agree it was a bad call. But, it’s also a learning opportunity for Kylan and the rest of the team that if you don’t make a play for the ball, you open the door for the refs to make a bad call. In the end, it may be a good thing that it happened in a game we ended up winning anyway. And...

    Though Ty has not played a single game minute with anyone on this years roster.

    What else (instead of mustard) would anyone put on a hotdog?

    Assuming you were at least 22 at the time, you held out for probably 12 years longer than me and 17 years longer than my daughter.

    I was mostly talking about the donors. But the same applies to non-donor fans. I’m less interested in college basketball due to the roster churn. But instead of complaining about 20 year old kids getting paid for their labor that generates hundreds of millions in revenue, I just invest less of...

    A salary cap is first and foremost about paying less.

    There were already dynamics that made it impossible for Presbyterian to compete with Texas. This just rebalances who has the advantage. There’s nothing inherently unfair about it. It’s the same with the Dodgers. People aren’t upset that it’s unfair. They’re upset that their team doesn’t have an...

    I agree that roster stability would make for a better fan experience. But I’m not sure a cap on NIL budgets actually fixes that. It seems like the only “problem” it would fix is boosters having to pay more and more each year without any guaranty of success. And I don’t view that as a problem. I...

    Exactly. I don’t blame BU for having to make the most out of a finite budget. But claiming we lose out on players because other programs overpay is just a lame excuse. The fair price is what someone is willing to pay. And boosters complaining about lack of results have no one to blame but...

    I don’t understand this mentality. If people are willing to fund these NIL amounts, why do you as a fan care?

    No one is projecting him to be as good as those players. But if players with limited athleticism (according to how Americans think of that term) can be all time NBA greats, then another player with limited athleticism can be a good college player.
