Fran to Penn...

[Fryowa]

The Powerball is at $1.2 billion right now.

292.2 million combinations x $2 = $584.4 million.

$1.2 billon - $584.4 million = $615.6 million * .67 (estimated next after taxes) = $412.5 million.

That would give us 13 years of NIL at $30 million a year.

We need to find someone who can put up $600 million (to hedge against any smaller winnings that happen in the same drawing), and we can go buy Duke's basketball team and OSU's football team. Natty's for years once we start the process. There's no way it can go wrong.

Get the ball rolling, Beth.

Helpful post. The 3 you mentioned, assuming they stay, would be a good way to connect with the new guys and at worst could add some depth. Isiah hanging in there is a big +. Yeah, we are gonna lose some guys, but new coach will be aggresive, for sure. He has been through this before.

Yeah they have like 30 days I think from the day Fran was let go to hop in or without any of them announcing. Anything can happen with more deciding yet. I'd hope we'll have more clarity amongst those on the team in the next week or so once Bens had time to meet with them.

Happy for him. They got a coach that will play exciting ball and recruit places a lot of coaches wouldn’t. Can only wish him good luck.

Should have played in the Crown Tourney. Champion gets $300,000 NIL package. The runner-up will earn a $100,000 package, while $50,000 will go to the semifinalists through a new venture labeled the Vivid Seats Ambassador Program.

I still believe that to be successful in the B1G you have to have size and strength. You need the big ass heavy bodies down low to muscle people around like Purdue, Illinois, Michigan, et al have. You can't get it done in this league (or in the tournament) with skinny shooting guards and forwards. Fran tried that for years and it's pretty proven IMO that it won't work. You need to prioritize size and athleticism over what you'd call pure basketball skills like shooting and passing. Kinda like Tyler Cook if we're talking about Iowa players. That dude would be in the NBA right now I think if he had landed at a Purdue or Illinois. But he didn't fit Fran's style and it didn't work out for him the way it could have.

If Run BMC can make that happen with the money he's got it will work, if not, it won't.

Totally agree with your Cook assessment.

Agreed, Beth needs to get the POWERBALL rolling.

I wonder if Penn will ever play Penn State? If so, the Penn State fans can rest easy knowing that Fran doesn't play a molesting defense.

Ooooooohhhh, you didn't go there!!!!!

Hey, got to jab at Penn State when the opportunity presents itself.

If you buy a powerball tick, or if you don’t. Your odds of winning are about the same.

Not if you buy all of them...
