I like your stance on the free transfers. Not sure it'd be possible to insert into college football, but would love to see "transfer fees" imposed to universities losing players to bigger programs in the portal, similar to European football (edit: soccer--my apologies lol). Again I don't think...

I'd take Uncle Rico in a heartbeat. We need the guy that can throw the ball over them there mountains.

I think your 100% accurate that as parents we would say a 10 without hesitation. But at the same time we have to take into consideration that what the parents want and what their kids want often aren't the same thing. The other side is, we all know plenty of people that have college degrees...

I'll agree with you on the fact that 18 year olds are definitely likely to F up upon becoming a millionaire, but I don't see how it is anyone's place to tell them that because they may F up they shouldn't have the opportunity to do so.

Agreed, but your missing the part that the university's don't care about these athletes they care about the profit those athletes are generating. IF programs truly cared about 100% graduation rates or who needs help remaining eligible or who doesn't care about grades they wouldn't offer them...

I agree that students should be the last people that should be making decisions affecting large institutions. However when it pertains to the student athlete they are the ones generating the revenue and IMO opinion are the largest player/entity involved in college athletics and whether we like...

I'm with you. I think it's more about where he lands then when in the draft he lands there. I'd much rather see him going to the eagles then a train wreck of a program or a program that doesn't quite know what direction they want to go.

And if I could like this more then once I would.

Does it suck as a player as a player or does it suck financially for the players. I get where you're coming from, but if it's NIL based and financially motivated I don't think that's fair to put on the fans or the program. I agree the landscape has changed and we've dropped the ball in that...

But i'd also think the counter argument to that would be if he hated it that badly why wait 5 years to leave? That's the part that doesn't make sense to me.

Agreed. He's given 5 years to Iowa which before covid was a full college career. He wants to play somewhere else for a 6th year, IMO so what, let him. I don't think think less of him for doing so or feel that he's obligated to his dad to stay here or that it reflects negatively on Fran for...

I agree completely that it hasn't been for a lack of talent and agree with your take. Which is why I'd be pleasantly surprised to see next years team make the tourney, because I've seen it play out over and over.

I love the optimism I really do, but we've yet to make a Sweet 16 under Fran's leadership. I like the roster and possibilities, but we've had better rosters with more complete bench's come up short under Fran. Hope I'm wrong and would love to eat crow, but I remain skeptical and feel we're a...

Never in my wildest mind did I ever think I'd be a women's hoops fan as I was one of those that never gave it a chance, because of the way it was played below the rim and what I blindly saw as a lack of athleticism. Bought in a few years ago, as nothing more then a spectator watching them win...

Agree with you that while Clark gets the recognition (and rightfully so) the team is 100% behind her and have bought into it. I read an article the other day talking about how Clark carries her teammates, but I think they've made a great deal of personal sacrifices to accept supporting roles...
