Everybody in college sports is looking for more money. @MattBakerCFB and I looked at one strategy a growing number of schools are employing: Mixed-use entertainment districts. This story is free to read, but these developments cost around $250 million. nytimes.com/athletic/72715…

DePaul AD DeWayne Peevy on how the facility has already helped recruiting: "I think this is a huge opportunity for us. We've actually already seen the impact. In recruiting with this transfer portal cycle, we were able to talk to each one of those student athletes because five of the six have eligibility remaining that could be in this building. We start seeing the impact to having our best off-season in the modern era."

Source: Creighton’s Alan Huss will hire High Point’s Corey Edwards as an assistant coach. Edwards and Huss worked together at High Point before Huss returned to Creighton prior to last season.

"State lawmakers have approved a $10 million tax credit package intended to keep UConn basketball and hockey games at Hartford’s PeoplesBank Arena for roughly the next two decades... which allows the arena’s qualified operator to claim up to $2 million annually in tax credits for five years if it enters into a long-term agreement with UConn."

The Big East needs to be at least be a six-bid league in a 76-team NCAA Tournament. bit.ly/4lmjETP (Apple) bit.ly/443aDt9 (Spotify) bit.ly/4wpu7UO (YouTube)

Outstanding news for college basketball. The sport's menu of heavyweight non-con clashes only keeps increasing. It's needed and very healthy. And if you aren't challenging yourself in November & December, why not?! Nobody's ever been severely harmed by losing a big early test.

Schedule News: Xavier will host Cleveland State as part of its 2026-27 non-conference schedule. The date is set for Tuesday November 17th. The guarantee is $95,000.

My NBA international scouting friends are sick of the these young college assistant coaches texting and asking if a certain international player is good enough. They get an answer & the scout doesn’t hear from them for three months. Not a way to develop relationships. 🤷🏼‍♂️🏀👍🏼

Redemption season

I apologize to all my Butler people, this will be a Western Carolina account on 11/17. Talented backcourt, and returning a big who could be an all-league player in the SoCon. Shoutout whoever scheduled that game, you’re the real MVP.
