@aycock1926 @awfulannouncing That’s what P5 schools do. They get 20 chances every year to get a quad 1 win. They’ll be under .500 but beat a one team and say they deserve to be in because them losing to “better teams”means more than winning.

@awfulannouncing They will get blown out in there next game. Don’t get me wrong I would to see them win. But coach get one win and running his mouth.

Flynn Clayman: "High Point and Miami (Ohio) are 2-0 in Quad 1 games. We couldn't get games. They couldn't get games. Akron couldn't get games. UNCW couldn't get games. Belmont couldn't get games. We won 22 of our 23 last games, and we didn't move up one spot in the metrics..."

@TheNCSportsNet @undecidedAce I like Jones but he failed to mention one of the reasons he was terminated is because he didn’t have fan support. Fans didn’t like the hire and a lot of support was lost when he was brought in. He never was able to get them back or others to come.

$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. #NCPol #NCGOP #NCDEMS #FiscalResponsibility #Budget #Priorities #ShouldUNCGbeDivisionOne #CollegeBasketball #MarchMadness

@TheNCSportsNet @undecidedAce For clarification, Jones is also talking about what players from previous seasons were paid at the beginning of NIL.

@TheNCSportsNet @undecidedAce UNCG’s basketball program has been competitive and in contention for first in the conference every year for the 8 of the last 10 years. NIL also has nothing to do with student fees. This post is pulling from all different directions.

@UNCGBasketball @UNCG @uncgspartans @SoConSports Come on G. Outside of previous years in Asheville, Mike Jones did a great job especially given the resources he had to work with.

Good fight @UNCGBasketball . That’s a tough loss but that was championship effort. #UNCG

@worthless_peon @SuperBob1826 UNCG is the 7th seed with 1st game exits the last 3 years. That followed a long period of success. I always went to the tournament but haven’t the last couple. Asheville is a 3 hour drive from GSO. It’s not the 1 hr from Western, ETSU, Wofford, or Furman. No driving up and back

@SuperBob1826 And then there’s UNCG

3 of the squads left have very strong crowd turnouts Good for the league!

Spartans!!!! #LetsGoG Let’s Freakin go!! @UNCGBasketball

@Jacobtheclipper Jordan is the same size if not bigger than LeBron in this video. Always making MJ bigger and better for the narrative. LeBron in reality is 2 inches taller and 50lbs bigger.

Y’all wanted to see what would happen if prime 1991 Mike played prime 2013 Bron 1 on 1 AI know balls, Bron can’t do anything on an island with the GOAT 🤝 No contest 🔥

@JLewis562 @theespnhater @Realrclark25 Only Wade was with Miami when LeBron decided to go. A team was then built around him which included Bosh.

@theespnhater @Realrclark25 I’m not gonna play games with you.

Stop blaming LeBron for everything! No way he’s ruined ball the way some say he has. In fact, for 2 decades he’s only elevated the NBA. Bout time y’all acknowledge that! He didn’t ruin the All Star game or the dunk contest, & if he wants a farewell tour he’s earned it. Dude is going to retire sooner than later. An era will end, & the game will miss him! @ThePivot “Pivotal Points” #ThePivot #PivotalPoints #RCconfessionals #LebronJames #NBA

@kobewldvplayed @JLewis562 @Realrclark25 If “the goal is to win” Larry won less championships so he can’t be the best small forward. Unless you want to change the logic used in this post.

@JLewis562 @Realrclark25 LeBron isn’t even the best small forward ever. That’s Larry’s spot. LeBron isn’t top 10

@UNCGBasketball is in the hunt! I didn’t see this happening based on how the season started but am excited to see how they finish! #LetsGoG

I’ve tried to get World Cup tickets throughout the whole process and have been unsuccessful. These allotment draws are dumb and annoying. I’m annoyed it’s caused me to waste so much of my time.

@carolineoprice The US is very safe. This is a terrible take

As much as it pains me, the World Cup and Olympics need to make the decision and pull out of the United States. It is not safe.

Panthers absolutely blew that game. Terrible defensive plan in the last Rams drive and followed it up with 3 awful play calls on offense. geez

#Panthers why play soft coverage and let the throw short passes all the way down the field?! Such a stupid game plan.

The commentators are in shock the Panthers are in this game let alone have the lead. All of NC knew the Panthers would make this fight. Bank of America is jumping!

The refs are truly cheating the #Panthers This is ridiculous

That’s not targeting and he shouldn’t have been disqualified. Thats a terrible call. He wasn’t a defenseless player. #UGA #Georgia

The Panthers make me so mad
