To be fair, Calipari’s contract is not paid through the university general athletic budget. It’s through a different organization that is covered through donations, endorsements, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're capitalists, right? Stop socializing your sports, Rhom. That's how we get Wisconsin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean... if you want the big money donors to have unlimited rights to give NIL deals and “cost of attendance,” we can do that; but you’ll never see Gonzaga and Baylor in the title game ever again.

Rhom Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 So I know that @RedEyedGhost and I joke about Scott Drew back and forth mainly because he seems smarmy I guess... but serious question, why does his name not come up on lists of highly wanted coaches? I never saw him on IU’s list... and he’s from Indiana! Is there something else I’m missing? He’s winning at Baylor of all places. I didn’t see his name in the Addidas junk. Seems that he should be as desirable as anyone on the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodsons name has popped up as a coach candidate there for virtually every round of hiring since Knight left. I had forgotten all about him but in retrospect it seems perfect now.

I meant to write sham, but you can cling to your past wounds. It's still not the same as Gary Anderson missing a FG to go to the Superb Owl after having a perfect fucking season.

And was then taken away by a ref’s missed call. I won’t dismiss your pain. I get how that lives forever. I still remember Harbaugh calling a timeout and the play it waived off being an obvious Kaepernick TD run. Jimmy G missing a pass that would seal a win. Missing a FG in that situation sucks. But at least it was a football play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedEyedGhost Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 UCLA definitely came to play. Good game so far. Some pretty poor FT shooting though. 2 hours ago, Rhom said: So I know that @RedEyedGhost and I joke about Scott Drew back and forth mainly because he seems smarmy I guess... but serious question, why does his name not come up on lists of highly wanted coaches?

Seems that he should be as desirable as anyone on the surface. There's no "seems" about it, he is as smarmy as the day is long. I think ADs at other schools know this, and that's why there's never been any real interest in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
