Niagara refuses to play us. We’re happy to play, let’s roll the ball out. Paulus won’t do it. Turn your attention to that pipsqueak. As with the rest of your mindless drivel, it’s just that.

Pretty standard that if a coach has a decent year they are extended/raise. Usually the coach negotiates to increase the staff pool as well. Plus I’m guessing the state automatically gives some raise, albeit it’s probably marginal. I think we’ve shown as a school that if someone is successful they’ll be rewarded. I see no reason to believe that wouldn’t be the case here too.

Whitesell also contractually has to look for another job and UB only owes the difference to what his new salary is. So the school is likely not on the hook for anything close to the $500k, but I guess time will tell.

Nice write up in TBN about the roster right now. Rachel mentions Ron Cook hasn’t practiced all Spring due to his injury at the end of the year las year. Still don’t know what the injury is, though. The position group seems loaded, between returners and signees.

Plenty of spots available. For every transfer portal player there is an open spot. They are very talented, they’ll land somewhere. Interesting question is if this counts as their one time transfer since they had a signed NLI.

Meh, it’s Women’s basketball. A sitting head coach can never tell their side of the story. So unless there was something egregious, in which case something would have been done already, it’s likely a nothing burger about hurt feelings. Let’s focus on the future.

Hasn’t it been discussed Alumni doesn’t have the infrastructure in place to host this summer tournament (I.e. air conditioning)? Or am I misremembering?

If he was bringing celebrities to sit court side and handing out wads of cash :::ahem *NIL deals*::: to players, he’d be a big deal here.

Calling the program toxic without any real details what may/may not have been going on is crazy. Obviously not a great look from the outside but you don’t have a clue what might be going on. Let’s see how things shake out. Burke overproduced on the court with what she had. Now we’ll see how she develops a program.

“I have no specific information, I’ll just lob a grenade”

Any recruits that have heard from us?

Hey mods - can we have a Women’s roster thread instead?

Same. It’ll also save us a ton of cash from the buyout.

Foley was removed from the Coaching Staff on the website. Not sure that indicates anything final though.

Looks like they’re doing a meet and greet event with coach.

4 pts, 1 rebound, 3 assists. 0-3 from 3, though. Had 29 minutes played so he’s really getting some time!

Likely bc of the whole not having Tik Tok on state property stuff

Most of us hated the idea of Coach Jack doing it. But it’s the way of the system for everyone. If it’s by the rules, and Coach thinks they can help us win, bring ‘em on.

Not many players I’ve been more wrong about based off of first impression.

Some of the more recent guys are probably laying low out of respect to Jim.

Bowling Green FB HC signed a 3 year extension. Closed the second half of the season well.

Gonna call BS on that. Our overall budget is the largest in the MAC. Our basketball budget including operating expenses and recruiting is tops in the conference. Facilities are on par with the conference and competitive with all our peer schools. What you’re saying isn’t backed by the facts. You can look it all up. https://ope.ed.gov/athletics/#/

Apparently Valpo has stuck out with all their top candidates. 🤷‍♂️

NIL money, other than the top 1% of 1% is coming via donors who have started collectives. The collective is a private entity who raises money and pays players to do meet and greets, community service, autographs, etc. It’s pay for play bc the athlete has no real market value.

According to Google, Groce is $650k, Boals is $580k and Kowalczyk is $530k. Senderoff is $285k (as of right now).
