Not sure.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

People are big mad about the SeC

 

[UnKnOwN_SeRb]

I dont know, Dan, should you?

 

[Monster]

People are big mad about the SeC

Everything is a fucking conspiracy these days.

 

[KitKatApples]

Lol. Welcome to the last 20 years

 

[ISUFan98]

When you have four teams from a conference that take half of the top eight spots in the tournament, it stands to reason it was a pretty good year for said conference.

 

[WCFHawkeye]

Not sure.

I dont know, Dan, should you?

If true, absolutely.

 

[Talkin' Goat]

Woof.

 

[ISUFan98]

I'm assuming Indiana and OSU turned down bids?

The Big Ten, Big East and Big 12 top two teams automatically qualify for The Crown tourney now. Indiana did turn down their invitation for that apparently.

 

[WestMifflin]

Turning down the NIT sucks.

 

[ISUFan98]

Turning down the NIT sucks.

Indiana is the basketball version of Nebrantska.

 

[Silky Johnson]

A lot of players/schools act like they’re Saban-era Alabama football missing the playoffs with stuff like this. It’s a weak, quitter move the vast majority of the time. Players should want to play and it’s a red flag if they don’t.

NIL this, my agent said that, in the end if you don’t care about playing you can fuck off.

 

[Pinehawk]

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Who could have thought that was going to be a good idea

 

[iowa4ever20]

Indiana is the basketball version of Nebrantska.

I assumed it was mentioned in here over the weekend but Iowa also turned down invites for postseason. That’s just how it is now when have a coaching change and majority of the roster is likely to enter the portal. The timing of the new Crown tournament is also stupid.

 

[Verbal]

I agree with the spirit of what you are saying, but the bottom line is that college basketball is now a profession. Kid should be looking to maximize their earnings potential within the small window that they have. Coaches have been disloyal to schools for decades. The only constant has been the fans, and the current environment will slowly erode that over time.

 

[Creed]

Yeah but the Patrick mccaffrey era continues because of the crown.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

wait, really? LOLOLOLOL

How many times is that kid going to play his final college game?

Agreed, but yet another example of how if this is what it’s gonna be, everyone needs to sign contracts and both parties need to be held accountable. You sign to play until the season(s) is done, schools/collectives pay up or get sued. No contacting players under contract until a designated period after the season.

Much like shitty bowl games, these tournaments are only good for programs heading in the right direction. Ascending from the depths.

 

[rodg12]

 

[ISUFan98]

Lol. That's pathetic.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Gonna be a long line for Fran McCaffery.

 

[douglasbader]

Fran is still a good coach, he will take one of these jobs and magically recruit incredible black PG's. Seriously.

 

[rodg12]

 

[tallperson54]

Is this his 5th time in the portal?

 

[brantshawks]

Holy shit.

Also......if he was 7' at Iowa, he's the smallest and shittiest 7 footer that has ever lived.

Texas' stud freshman took stupid ass shots down the stretch. Haven't seen that many long twos since Isaiah Moss.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I Feel like there should be a separate thread for the Tournament?

 

[The Incredible Hawk]

[Uli Kunkel]
