@WestPineBills Imagine Travis Ford with the resources yall are spending now. You could be competing with GW for like a 9 or 10 seed in the conference tournament.

The lack of certification, standardization, and professionalism of agents for the college games really needs to get addressed whenever the shoe drops on this era of college sports.

@gmuhoops Curious what high for Mason looks like. Any idea what our total NIL and rev share looks like?

@jmcconnell70 I’d be happy to have him it but only if it made sense with roster construction. If both Long and BOC stay not sure if it would work.

@18Judoka Yeah I generally don’t have hard feelings (Hall is obviously the exception), you just won’t find me rooting for 99% of the guys that leave. It’s more of indifference than anything else.

@tblack331 A small caveat to that, because I mostly agree with you, I hold no hard feelings Utah players that leave. I generally want them to succeed; if they play out their contract with George Mason. Meaning I hold no hard feelings to Okoje, but I hope keyshawn Hall gets hit by meteor

That time of year that this is relevant, with only a few exceptions, I’m not a fan of any individual college basketball players. I’ll root for them while they play for Mason, but if they choose to leave they are gone to me, I don’t care if they succeed unless they stick with us.

@Houck_8 And IIRC they still aren’t performing super great with TV ratings despite being a good media market, idk though I didn’t see any numbers for top conference games this year.

@tblack331 But the roster payroll thing is real. They can currently spend like 5-6m a year and be at the top of the A10, or double that to be middle of the pack in the Big East.

This is what SLU and VCU don’t fully grasp yet, its not enough to be good. The financials have to make sense as well. TV markets following SLU and VCU aren’t really there yet. Dayton is the exception here, they not only consistently sell out a huge arena but put up big TV numbers
David Houck@Houck_8

@MatSheltonEide At present, I just don't think vcu being in the BE changes the equation for the BE. Doesn't add a significant market (would be 2nd smallest in the conference) or meaningfully expand the conference footprint. Same reason why FSU or Clemson haven't been attractive to the SEC.

@Houck_8 I think we’re still a few years out because I agree that any conference is going to want to see them sustain the investment, and if they can hire well again when Schertz inevitably leaves. SLU has missed just about as much as they’ve hit on coaching hires.

@tblack331 In the Sweet 16 the seats behind the benches are allocated to the highest seeded teams. That’s Houston and Illinois, so those people haven’t shown up yet.

Why are all these prime seats behind the benches in Iowa Nebraska empty? Arena sounds sold out other than the first 5 rows?

The “more with less” mindset at Mason needs to turn into a “more with more” mindset as long as Tony is here. Administration needs to go all in on both basketball programs and make sure they are well funded.
