November 17, 20205 yr Couldn’t happen to a better guy. He’ll end up at liberty or something. Probably never sniff big time basketball again.
November 17, 20205 yr So Marshall is also a racist and just all-around despicable human being who gets paid millions more to go away. His former players should be allowed to take him to court for their share of his settlement.

November 18, 20205 yr Talking with a Wichita friend yesterday and he’s astonished with the buyout. Doesn’t even know what to read into it... was the program just ready to remove a stain and paid him to leave with little evidence to conclude the investigation? Did the AD and school admin know so they are covering their ass by paying out and sacrificing Marshall? I think it’s pretty clear they didn’t feel they had him dead to rights on the legal front.
November 18, 20205 yr Quote Eight of the top 13 teams in college basketball will highlight a two-night slate of marquee games from the Champions Classic and Jimmy V Men's Classic at the start of December. The State Farm Champions Classic is set for Dec. 1, featuring No. 9 Duke facing No. 13 Michigan State and No. 10 Kentucky playing No. 6 Kansas. The Blue Devils will host the Spartans, while Kentucky and Kansas will play at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The Jimmy V Men's Classic will take place on Dec. 2, with No. 12 Tennessee going against No. 1 Gonzaga and No. 2 Baylor playing No. 8 Illinois. Both games will be played at Bankers Life. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/30342714/eight-top-hoops-teams-play-two-nights

I'd say he had all the leverage it appears yes. It became a story and they had to do something. President hired then resigned. Trumps daughter visit got canceled. My guess is Koch put in .02 as well. School PR has a bad look about now.
November 23, 20205 yr Yeah with Covid ramping up like a mofo, I'm not real optimistic that you can have teams flying all over the country for 2-3 games a week. At this point, I'm just hopeful that conference schedules are relatively stable and we can have a tourney in Indy. All it takes is a couple of players to wreck a team for a couple of weeks.
November 24, 20205 yr Why in the world is CBB not delaying this thing 1-2 months? There’s been so many unknowns with this virus but one of the few constants has been that it was going to flare up come late fall and early winter. This, coupled with a potential vaccine on the near horizon and it makes all the sense in the world to push back the start to avoid the ‘bad’ season and reap the rewards on the back-end come late spring/early summer. So March Madness becomes May Madness, who cares? I just don’t get it.

November 24, 20205 yr It's a mess, predictably, but it's basically the same as what CFB has gone through, with the added burden of being indoors. Every single sport has had COVID issues at the re-start, from the women's pro soccer league to even the vaunted NBA having to hold players out in the bubble for a while. It's harder with college kids for obvious reasons. I would argue having the messy re-start, where a bunch of meaningless non-conference games don't get played, will actually help teams get into a routine of living safely in time for conference season. If they just punted until January, then all these cases would start popping up in January.
November 24, 20205 yr SFA flew to Connecticut for a tourney only today to have a positive test and have to leave. Maine did the same thing. It’ll be impossible to keep straight what games are happening as this virus will only worsen the next two months.
November 25, 20205 yr Whenever they figure out what portions of the season will exist, it will be difficult for teams to have a decided home court advantage this season. No way they can pack in a bunch of students.
November 26, 20205 yr jesus the Zags look good. i know it's November, but i'm looking at a team that should legit be disappointed if they aren't playing for/winning the national title. Edited November 26, 20205 yr by shadow_operative

November 30, 20205 yr Still a lot of game to play, but Michigan is down against Oakland (0-3) early in second half as 30 pt favorites. Oakland lost by 52 last week to Xavier. Lulz, Michigan fans have it worse than we do. Edit - Heading to OT. Edited November 30, 20205 yr by Blotto
December 1, 20205 yr UNLV 13-0 over #14 UNC. In the first 6 min Thats some Shaka-level opening of a game
