welcome to the world of needing to re-recruit all your underclassmen every March/April with playing time assessments and NIL possibilities.
If the Illini recruit players that are complementary to the existing/incoming talent then this is a win win selling point that is attractive to both existing Illini and portal players. Let's get guys that want to play with Ty, Amani and Morez and keep the committed players happy.
That's fabulous.
I think someone figured that Bruce Weber make $5000 a hour working 60 hours a week.
I tagged @ChampaignShowers on Twitter, because he/she/they posted an article about what bad people we were for responding to the good professor's post the way we did. I'm sure he/she/they will find Derek's thread much more civilized.
Someone figured wrong. That's $300,000 per week.I think someone figured that Bruce Weber make $5000 a hour working 60 hours a week.
I am not going to have a massive amount of empathy for coaches.
But geez, what pain and a souce of stress that must be, particularly if there is a losing season, team dissension or off-court problems
We have not seen many off-court problems involving the "agents of institutonlized social controll"
Self probably should get out now and reduce the stress level in his life.
He should be listed, as should everyone else who hasn’t yet entered the transfer portal. I get the whole idea that the roster is now a year to year thing, but it seems silly to me that we must assume no one is returning until they give some sort of confirmation.
On the Saturday Sportstalk, Loren Tate said he was told by Brad Underwood that the second time transfer rules are already being challenged in court. That didn’t necessarily mean that someone the Illini are pursuing is challenging it, only that Brad was aware that someone has already begun that process.
All it's going to take is one judge to issue an injunction (possibly nationwide injunction) against the NCAA and say that the athlete would likely win in court and suffer irreparable harm if he isn't allowed to transfer a second time without sitting out a year. At that point, it'll be open season on two-time transfers while that case is fought in court and possibly winds up with SCOTUS at some point.
Curbelo’s coach was fired. Shouldn’t he be able to transfer without penalty regardless of whether he already transferred.
Yes, if he was told he would not be renewed / does not figure into plans.
Not if he has already transferred once, according to the NCAA. But yeah, I agree, the NCAA was dumb not to carve out an exception for that scenario, at the very least.
