@SoConJohn22 And UNCG won 29 games that year got to conference final and was 89 which was bs. after 2020 they changed the ranking because they didn’t want to see mid majors sniffing at large bids

@TheNCSportsNet @undecidedAce Because the school doesn’t care about sports is why If we had a chancellor that gave a shit about our athletics program we would have a bigger collective. Basketball is not the flagship soccer is. Basketball shoukd be but it’s not.

$95K for men’s basketball NIL?
For what is supposed to be UNC Greensboro’s flagship sport?
That number ought to embarrass people.
Because while UNCG is trying to play Division I basketball, its students are already paying a very real price to prop up the athletics department — and the scale of that burden deserves a whole lot more scrutiny than it gets.
The current UNCG athletics fee is $843 a year for a full-time undergraduate. Stay on campus four years, and that is $3,372 out of one student’s pocket.
Put that in plain English: at North Carolina’s $7.25 minimum wage, a full-time UNCG student is effectively giving the athletics department the equivalent of 465 hours of labor.
That is not symbolic support.
That is not loose change.
That is real money.
Now multiply it.
With roughly 18,700 students and an undergraduate population that appears to be about 80 percent of the student body, UNCG likely has around 13,100 full-fee students in 2025–26.
That means roughly $11.1 million a year in student money is flowing into athletics before you even start counting students paying reduced or partial versions of the fee.
So let's stop pretending student fees are some minor line item in the background.
They are a pillar of the operation.
Which is why the obvious question becomes impossible to ignore: If students are pumping more than $11 million a year into athletics, why does the flagship sport reportedly have just a $95,000 NIL budget?
What exactly are students buying here?
Because if you are going to reach into student pockets year after year, you had better be prepared to show something resembling a serious competitive strategy in return.
This is where the conversation gets uncomfortable for administrators, but it should not be uncomfortable for anyone else.
If the average student is effectively paying more than $3,300 over four years to support Division I athletics, then this should not be buried in a fee schedule and waved away like business as usual.
It should be debated openly and honestly — by students, parents, alumni, taxpayers, trustees, and state leaders.
There is nothing inherently wrong with using student fees to support athletics.
But the size of the bill matters.
The results matter.
The transparency matters.
And the return on investment matters. At UNCG, this is not pocket change. It is a multimillion-dollar annual subsidy from students.
And that should trigger much tougher questions than the school is probably comfortable answering.
How much of the athletics budget depends on student fees?
How does UNCG compare to peer schools?
Why is the NIL number for men’s basketball so low if this is the program’s flagship?
And how long do schools think they can keep leaning on students to fund ambitions they are not fully willing to explain?
Because if you are taking $11 million a year from students, “trust us” is not a strategy, it's an excuse.

UNCG has hired former Stanford and UAB head coach Jerod Haase, source told @thefieldof68.
Haase has agreed to a 5-year deal, per source.
Haase, 51, was 126-127 in eight seasons at Stanford (2016-24). He was 80-53 in four seasons at UAB (2012-16) - including an NCAA tourney appearance in 2015.
UNCG athletic director Brian Mackin hired Haase when he was the AD at UAB.

@Sam_Federman One of the best coaches in the game but also a better person
English

Sources: Cincinnati is firing coach Wes Miller, who did not reach the NCAA Tournament in five season there, per me and @jeffborzello. Miller went 100-74 over five years, two in the AAC and three in the Big 12.
