@RickyB_official @CBBcontent We all know that’s the right answer- but a comp of greed, arrogance, and stupidity will prevent it from actually happening.

@MattNorlander @thestateoflou As a Louisville fan, I'm going to be petty and hope North Carolina is humbled and left scrambling to hobble a staff and team together. A weak demoralized North Carolina is good for us. 🤷🏿♂️
Blue Blood ain't worth what it used to be. 🤷🏿♂️

Sources: UNC offered Tommy Lloyd a top-two contract in CBB. Lloyd took less to stay, but will still bump up to $7.2 million starting next season. Staff pool also will get a huge bump + incentives brought back to their contract structures. He'll also no longer report to the AD.

BREAKING: Tommy Lloyd just announced at his Friday press conference that he has turned down the North Carolina job and will be staying at Arizona.

@mikewhitePR @SEisbergWCIV The use of loyalty is interesting. The issue isn’t loyalty. It’s power. S-ships are 1yr-if he moved after 4 yrs or 6 yrs he still moved -the people he left. I’m sure didn’t feel a lot of loyalty to him. It is hypocritical to advance ur career by moving &wine when players do it
English
He’s actually shown a great amount of loyalty. Those are tenures at each spot that are longer than a traditional four-year degree. What we have now with S-As moving year-after-year is not healthy for college sports and actually a detriment to those S-A’s ability to complete a degree.

What a quote from CofC AD Matt Roberts.
In part...
"If they sit in that room and hear that speech from those 2 coaches and that's not good enough for them, get out of here. Get out of here, go somewhere else. If money is your motivator, you are not wanted at CofC. That is a direct message to those student athletes"

@djgist @JimMcIlvaine @darrenrovell You seem really smart citing human rights for a company with a long history of child labor.

@JimMcIlvaine @darrenrovell Interesting way of saying they care about black people and human rights so it’s political 🙄🙄🙄

Three things missing on Nike collapse.
1. Focus on retro cushed them. Literally embracing a customer growing older.
2. Today’s kid doesn’t get excited about the swoosh. They lost all buzz. My boys would rather GOAT or The Drip Shop.
3. Completely abandoned storytelling.

Nike wiped out $200B+ in market cap since November 2021. And the chart actually understates how bad it is. This company made one bet that destroyed everything: the direct-to-consumer pivot. During COVID, Nike's online sales surged, and management convinced themselves the stay-at-home economy was permanent. They pulled product from Foot Locker, Dick's, and thousands of wholesale partners to push buyers through Nike.com and Nike stores. That ceded physical shelf space to On Running, Hoka, New Balance, and every competitor happy to fill the void. By the time Nike brought Elliott Hill in as CEO, customers had already moved on. The China numbers are staggering. Seven straight quarters of declining revenue. Greater China sales dropped 17% last quarter. Next quarter Nike expects a 20% plunge. Meanwhile Lululemon is posting double-digit growth in the same market. Anta and Li-Ning are eating Nike's share from below. Nike's China revenue contribution fell from 18.6% in 2021 to 14.2% in 2025. Yesterday Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and Bank of America all downgraded the stock on the same day. Net income fell 35% year over year. Gross margin has declined for seven consecutive quarters. And the stock still trades at 38x forward earnings, a premium over the S&P 500 average of 22x. This is what a slow-motion brand collapse looks like with a luxury multiple attached to it. The turnaround keeps getting pushed further out. Management promised growth by early 2027. Wall Street priced that in. Now it's late 2027 at best. The scariest part: Nike is still the #1 sportswear company by market cap. If this is what #1 looks like, the rest of the industry is running a different race entirely.

@Bfrom916 @A_grain_ofsalt @darrenrovell See you are missing the point- good for you and all the love you show Nike. That doesn’t diminish his point- Nike took a brand founded w “culture” and for many- turned to politics. Agree or not- consumer data says it’s fact.
English
@A_grain_ofsalt @darrenrovell Well I got 8 kids and 4 grandkids and we all have Nikes. I still play BB 3 times a week in a local gym every single person playing in there is wearing Nikes.
I have daughters in junior high and high school playing sports, 75% of the kids playing are wearing Nikes.

@JStreble82 @WildcatFan2523 Man, it seems your hate for Matt gets in a way of reality. JMI is a detriment to NIL for UK. NIL should not be used to generate revenue for the university in the media rights.

But I thought Matt Jones said JMI and UK were destroying their NIL prowess 🤷♂️
Tyler Thompson@MrsTylerKSR
NEW: UK Athletics has signed a 12-year extension of its deal with Fanatics to include a first-of-its-kind NIL program. Select UK athletes will be able to promote officially licensed merchandise through the retailer in exchange for compensation. on3.com/teams/kentucky…

@rigbonam @NicolasEdny Only fact here is that the only time Trump won is when the Dems nominated a women. He lost to every man he competed against.

@NicolasEdny Trump is what happens when a bunch of people realised "stop racism and sexism" meant more. than just not doing in public USA got a black president, almost got a woman, saw they were about to get a black woman and subconciously decided they'd crumble and decay on their own terms

@MattSakR2NG Their Jack P equivalent has been signaling a mass exodus- major departures expected these past couple days.
At minimum, we’ve forced Kansas to pay absolute top dollar in the Stokes sweepstakes. Bill banking on TK and Tyran, and having to overhaul in the portal sounds horrid 😭.

A black man is piloting a rocket to the moon, and all the right-wingers who have been saying all black people are hired because of DEI are going to try to cheer him on as if nothing happened.

@FredJohnsonf2 @SEisbergWCIV Looks like he stayed at least 4 years at every stop...

@DarenStoltzfus @SEisbergWCIV Never said anything about time- his time is his time- just like the players is their time. He left for more $ or better OPP- no reason they can’t.

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

@ChucktownHoops @SEisbergWCIV Nah- it’s twitter grammar doesn’t matter.

You gotta go back to grammar school man.
It’s a false equivalency. He’s not saying you can’t leave for better opportunities, he’s saying if money is yours sole driver and motivator than he doesn’t what you in the program, simple as that. Nobody’s sole driver and motivator in college athletics should be strictly money, and money only.
