Kind of a school house rock vibe to that rhyme

Every day I wake up excited to read about the goings-ons in the transfer portal!

Big thanks to, Ivan, I know you’re working hard!

one of the worst things about the current landscape of college athletics is the number of great coaches who will simply get sick of it and move on. nil has ended up about as poorly as it could have

I was pretty surprised when Belichick decided now was the time to start coaching a college. You'd think it would drive him mad.

No one in the NFL wanted him, and someone was stupid enough to pay him 10 million and to also let him hire someone to deal with everything he doesn't want to deal with.

Outside of a few obvious examples, older coaches leaving and younger ones taking over is good. In the grand scheme, coaches still hold on for far too long.

I hope he retires there after making a few tournament appearances. The Ivy League seems like the best place to minimize the NIL bullshit.

at least you know if you have anyone good they're gone after the season to somewhere they'll get money and a scholarship

He’s 65
Rick Pitino is going to be 73 next season. When he was 64 he was still at Louisville. He's gone to 3 different places (Greece, Iona, St. John's) since that.

Fran could easily coach 2 years at Penn and move on to a bigger job in 2 years and do that for another 6-7 years.

I can see wanting Pitino at an old age. I can’t see the same for Fran. Not the same market value. Unless he happens to have some miracle run or something.

I know it’s common, but I think it’s a little weird that a 15 year coach is just one day gone with no comment or anything.

I hate to agree with you, but there is nothing strange or Iowafan in wondering where the guy ends up.
