College Hoops Around The Country [TN opponents, RPI, others]

It’s an idiotic rule that only serves to hurt the student athlete, so it is not a shock that it exists. If you can move from D2 UPWARD to D1 and can win your conference, why should you not be able to go dancing?? Makes no sense. I can understand if this rule existed for teams making the transition down to D2 so that their roster can take time to adjust “down” to the level of competition they are facing and can level out and not just be D1 athletes beating up on D2….but having this rule in affect for making a jump up makes zero sense to me.

Still one of the dumbest rules in college sports!

Agreed

I feel like the rule is in place to prevent DII teams from recruiting DI level athletes in the years before moving up, giving them an unfair advantage over their fellow DII members. But they should just make them ineligible for their last 3 years of DII instead if that’s the case.

I think the rule is mainly in place to discourage teams from moving up so that there are not a thousand teams in D1, still dumb though.

Wake Forest just knocked off Syracuse 77-74 with a nice three. Really thought Syracuse was going to run away with it as they drew closer and took the lead.

Wake Forest just put the dagger in cheating Boeheim’s heart. Love it. SU is NIT bound. Good for Forbesy as well.

Would be great hire for Ole Miss, considering Kermit's performance.

Would be facing Texas quite a bit once they join the SEC

Ole Miss trying to challenge Auburn for the title of “Sloppy Seconds U”

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

That’s tough for them. UCLA was starting to look like the team to beat. Purdue’s and Houston’s odds just went up.

Chris Beard reported as leading candidate for Ole Miss. He might beat his wife but he has shown he can win. Trending to Ole Miss according to Goodman. Lots of reports coming out in last couple of hours.

This is a classic case of a university leaking something to gauge whether it passes their fanbase's sniff/outrage test.

Given the sparse attendance and general apathy, however, I'm not sure how many people care one way or another.

I hope Tennessee never hires someone like Beard.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Beard to Mississippi would mean that Kiffin is no longer their biggest D-Nozzle of a coach. Win win for the Rebels.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

I hope Tennessee never hires someone like Beard.

Hopefully the UT administrations never forget the pushback from Schiano.

Kim English, Ticket Gaines, VJB with a heckuva closing 4 minutes to beat Richmond and advance to the A10 Quarter finals.

A couple more wins in that tournament and English might get some good opportunities. He might be my favorite former assistant to replace Barnes. Another 3 or 4 years and the timing might work out favorably. KE is still very young and needs some more experience before jumping to the SEC.

I’m watching the Southland Championship and a rugby game has broken out. Lots of push offs and elbows being thrown and the officials are letting them play on. At least it’s been consistent, I can say that much.

I remember that game. UNC had four of five starters back from a NC-winning team plus highly-touted freshmen Jerry Stackhouse, Rasheed Wallace, and Jeff McInnis. Classic choke.

I remember it as well because I was a freshman at BC!
