Though we brought in more than $10 million due to the men's FF and women's R32 results, I believe that money all goes into the Big Ten pot, which is divided evenly, subject to any limits that still apply to newer members. So we, along with everyone else in the league, should get approximately $3.85 million.

The article explains how it’s divided up. Could be more but just sharing the news…incremental funds always welcome. 😎

Would love for Wagler to come back just don’t see how it’d make much sense. Hoping we hear some news on retention soon?

I’m too lazy, but it would be fun to track all of the suggested lineups leading up to the final roster.

Someone comes to you with a boatload of $ to do a 30 second ad and you turn it down because “that’s not my style”?

Every woman who watches basketball will call him the most adorable kid ever! Take it to market!

Second place is 1st loser

Maybe he likes playing college basketball and wants to enjoy not being to much of an adult lol. Plenty of dudes played more than 1 year of college ball that could have been a high draft pick.

Ok, now let's get real.

Would you go that route? Would you tell your kids to go that route?

Which GUARANTEED lottery pick went back to have more fun and not be an adult?

IF he hurts himself, it's all over. He saw Ty on the bench every game, as a reminder. We all saw Toppin go down, as a reminder.

Hey, if being a multi millionaire and literally not having ANY financial concerns isn't fun....I don't know what to say. A person, with a family, can and will EASILY blow through $5M. They will not blow through $100M dollars.

I kinda would hope he doesn't do a big brand deal like the Boozer brothers or some of the other players in the past who did (Flagg, etc.), because that doesn't feel like his "brand." Him staying locked in while playing even while playing well, not showing emotion, and just having poise struck me as a kid that doesn't want flash but let his ball skill speak for itself. Could be unpopular opinion, but kind of loved Keaton not being too flashy and just being a hardworking non-show-boaty kid.

What could be better for State Farm than a kid who plays in the State Farm Center?

At least I could be less pissed about who they are paying with my insurance premiums. 🤣

With us playing at State Farm Center, I've always wondered why State Farm wouldnt try to feature an Illini in their commercials. Keaton coming back would make that a real possibility. Hell, he can even buy car insurance from Jake Davis.

Keaton: Hey, aren't you Jake? From State Farm?

Jake: Nope, I'm Jake...from the State Farm Center....HE (points to fake Jake) is Jake from State Farm.


writes itself. 😎

Andrej Stojakovic shot 24.4% from the three-point line this year. I’ll just leave this here, ya know, for fun.

For some perspective, that’s worse than Kylan Boswell.

If teams are willing to pay 1st round NBA draft money for stars then college basketball has truly gone off the rails..
