This is a business case study. I see it all over, ESPECIALLY at the collegiate level where it is so easy to blame so very many things rather than grapple with truth, honesty and integrity.
That isnt me taking a shot at Drexel, it is me taking a shot at the industry.

The Red Sox didn’t lose their way overnight. Their incentives shifted. When private equity enters sports, the questions change — and so do the answers. Inside the organization, some describe the culture as “toxic positivity.” The story behind it: open.substack.com/pub/joonlee/p/…

@BGMull @selfscout_ I love this. Great idea and youre the right guy for the gig.

After two decades as a reporter, I learned this quickly: the truth inside a program rarely reaches the head coach.
My new venture, @selfscout_ conducts confidential interviews inside programs to uncover that truth and show coaches how they’re actually experienced.

@MilesMcQuiggan CT doubles the width of the Merritt, allows the far western part of the State to officially be part of NY, and it can maybe make #4.
MA, VT, ME are a locked in top 3. You're absolutely right about the summers.
English
Two challenges with ranking New England states:
- Not many are well-versed in summer in RI, ME, and NH, which are all wonderful. (Give me an August week in Narragansett, personally).
- CT should put tourism dollars into driver's ed and immediately improve public perception.

Great question! 1. Massachusetts 2. Vermont 3. Rhode Island 4. Maine 5. New Hampshire 6. Connecticut

Now that they have the new airport terminal, all major indoor sporting events should be in New Orleans. Full stop. This isnt hard.
Having been in Indy a number of times, both as a tourist and with locals, my only Q is why its a city at all.
Curry Hicks Sage@CurryHicksSage
Indianapolis isn’t actually a cool city in any way, including as a final four host site
English
@JTansey90 Imagine seeing this and STILL backing Ernst off the field actions too.
Its staggering, @PhilaUnion
English
Either the coaching isn't good enough to put even a decent on-field product out there each week.
Or the Union front office failed so spectacularly that the players aren't good enough in parts of the XI where good coaching won't matter.

@CheckAnfro @CoachKennaKV @ryanhammer09 At the CAA level, you dont need a bunch million more dollar. You need about 1 million.
That shouldn't be insane for a significant D1 institution. And its not.
English
@DCrain_AAD @CoachKennaKV @ryanhammer09 Yes, the fix for them was to Spend massive amounts more than they ever have, and run the biggest fundraising campaign that the school ever has.
So yes, a bunch more millions of dollars would likely fix Campbell. I am not denying that.
English
“Campbell has made the decision to shift their commitment away from basketball”
“There are no pathways that the institution will fund the program appropriately”
Sad day for Campbell, sad reality of the current landscape of the sport for mid majors who can’t/won’t spend a lot

@JerryBeach73 Is it? The dub sure, but even that gap isn't world changing. The other three are capable, to compete with each other, and Id argue NU spends the lowest today but they COULD easily become the highest.
English
Of course, even if this were to happen, the four non-FB schools in the CAA probably couldn't all move to one league. The NIL/infrastructure is wildly different from UNCW to Hofstra to Drexel to Northeastern.
Jerry Beach@JerryBeach73
What needs to happen is the NCAA needs to allow a one-time waiver for new leagues to form with an instant automatic bid. The CAA has a football/hoops schism & is oversized w/too much travel. But of course the NCAA is not gonna do that for the CAAs of the world.
English
@CheckAnfro @CoachKennaKV @ryanhammer09 Indiana is like 75 seasons into football and almost always loses.
Same logic.
English
@CoachKennaKV @ryanhammer09 There isn’t one without a new President of the school.
Campbell is 40 years into having a basketball program for men and they have had a losing record for like 75% of their seasons.
English
@brodskyme Yeah, like that ever goes well with academia admin.
In the business world, I might agree with you.
English
I respect a man a lot more when they stand for what they believe in. Credit to coach here who took action and out himself in a better place, even if it meant temporarily giving up on a dream job to be a D1 HC.
John Andrzejek@CoachAndrzejek
English
@brodskyme Mmm, not sure i agree there. Future employer want to pickup someone who Flames former employers? Will give some pause...
English
@DCrain_AAD Basically positioning himself for the job he will get after Louisville.
Going on the record by daring Campbell to a debate.
Agent is a genius.
English
@ChucktownHoops @holycityhoops This is true. Amazing escape act.
Flip side that we look past sometimes is he is also the one who put them in the bind...
English
Matt Roberts is the best in the business, simple as that. Unfathomable levels of back when it looked like we were in a bind that we’d never get out of a couple weeks ago.

Charleston has hired Akron head coach John Groce, source told @thefieldof68. Groce, 54, has taken the Zips to three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances and gone dancing four of the last five seasons. Groce will replace Chris Mack, who left Charleston after two seasons to take the South Florida job. Groce is 377-225 in his career. He was also the head coach at Ohio (2008-12) and Illinois (2012-17).
English
He did the thing. Built a platform, camps, and brought excitement, joy and at times opportunity to a ton of kids in our area. He had an impact, and this experience, regardless of how it ends, will serve him well in the future as his career continues.
Failure, it is not.
English
Hate seeing @jmverlin use the word "failure" here.
Its a hard, if not dying industry.
Josh and I dont always see eye to eye, but he carved out a space, and an income, chasing his passion. I have a ton of respect for it, 99% of people don't have the guts to do that.
Rich Flanagan@richflanagan33
FYI you won’t be seeing bylines from me or fellow writers on CoBL for the near future. Josh has done a remarkable job growing the site but as many can attest, this is a brutal business and the model for success is difficult to emulate. Hoping for the best cityofbasketballlove.com/news_article/s…
English
@TheSeahawkPerch @DalyDoseOfHoops I dont think it matters. USF did them an epic bailout regardless.
English
If Charleston ends up with John Groce out of this, USF did them one of the biggest favors in the history of mid-major basketball.
Burns Alley Bombers@ChucktownHoops
English
@JerryBeach73 Neither did this guy.
The venn diagram here is likely a circle.
English
@DCrain_AAD Most of those people don’t realize their faces are being eaten.

I can't believe the face-eating lion ate my face.

NC State AD Boo Corrigan isn't pulling any punches about Will Wade: "Over the course of the last year we developed a relationship that I believed was on trust and accountability." He said Wade told him on Tuesday: "I want to be at NC State." Corrigan said he was surprised with the LSU move.
