Massive basketbrawl in the Southland Conference tonight:

The end of storming the court is upon us

Wake was favored too.

 

[GKJ]

No, it's not.

Don't expect college hoops' court-storming problem to get fixed after latest run-in featuring Duke's Kyle Filipowski

Duke's loss to Wake Forest became a side story after Filipowski was swarmed while leaving the court on Saturday. But it's far from the first court-storming incident, and it likely won't be the last.

sports.yahoo.com

Yes it is. The players are being paid now. It’s not the same world.

 

[GKJ]

How are you going to stop it?

The same way every pro level stops it.

NIL changes nothing. NBA games aren't attended mostly by crazy college students. Stop digging the hole deeper and admit you're full of it.

Wow, ok, you want to have a fight about it. Damn. Wasn’t prepared for that, didn’t think I’d have to argue about it because there’s no logical way to dispute that.

I know I’m not full of it because I’m definitely right, and the coaches are starting to speak up about it. I’ll make this quick, because (1) I was out late and up early, and (2) if you’re going to dispute how NIL has fundamentally changed college athletics, as the athletes are far more of investments than they were, then you’re choosing to ignore what is plainly obvious, and I can’t control that, you either have to accept it or be in denial of it. I am not an expert on college economics nor do I purport to be, but if you’re unable to make the connection from the players NIL to their value to sponsors and networks (the latter exerting the most control since they’re paying the media rights and pulling the strings among the conferences), then you’re just straight out of your depth. ‘NIL changes nothing -‘ it’s already fundamentally changed college athletics. The sport’s top star, far and away, nearly got taken out by this, and the women’s side is much more dependent on a very few.

What can they do? The schools know who is in the building, they can fine or even prosecute (as pro leagues do do) fans, not unlike when you have streakers. The NCAA or conference can fine the schools, maybe even vacate the game, they unilateral power there and are liable for the safety of the players.

Alright, we’re good here.

This is an article about why it's not going to change. I asked you how you're going to control an arena full of crazy college students and you avoided the question and brought up the irrelevant topics of NIL and the NBA.

Bubble watch: Which college basketball teams need to make a statement this week?

An upset win for a team like Cincinnati or Seton Hall this week could go a long way to securing a berth in the field of 68.

The answer is however they have to to protect the safety of their assets. It’s already been explained, if you can’t make the connections, that’s a you-thing. Same with a writer who thinks that anything that didn’t happen 10-30 years ago doesn’t apply. As a senior writer for college sports, he should know better, and the fact that he doesn’t tells me he’s an idiot.

Sources: Woodson to return as Hoosiers' coach

Indiana basketball coach Mike Woodson, amid speculation over his future as the Hoosiers are 17-13 overall, will return next season, sources confirmed to ESPN.

@IU Hawks fan I don't get it, don't most people want Woodson fired

 

[IU Hawks fan]

They were never going to buy him out after 1 bad year, IMO. Especially not after buying out Tom Allen.

Some of the lesser conferences have started their tournaments. Halftime score: Pepperdine 56, Pacific 9. (Pepperdine isn't very good, BTW.)

How is that even possible lol

 

[Blue and Green]

How is that even possible lol

You have to wonder, right? Pacific was winless in conference play and had fired the coach a few days ago but even under those circumstances 56-9 is unbelievable. The spread for betting was only 9.5 points. Game ended 102-43.
