Jordan’s 10 scoring titles sound impressive—until you take a closer look 🤔
English
Jordan fans insist he would have gone 8-0 if he hadn't quit in 1994. They delusionally pretend that 1995 vs Orlando never happened.
English
@GoldnTickit @Fabrizi0Ronamo Any p4/BE can drop 500k on their 12th man and it is couch change to them without even touching booster money.
English
@Fabrizi0Ronamo Clearly we have been fielding good teams with terrible resources. I have to wonder what potentially 6 300k players look like. Or 4 expensive players and our old route of JUCO/HS. Just so hard to understand
English
I’d love to know market numbers. With our money going up, what caliber players are 300k for example. I genuinely don’t know what caliber player is likely too expensive vs. affordable for UAB right now.
English
@Shane00 Watching you Klutch Klowns coordinate and amplify the talking points is hilarious
English
And Jordan checked his stats on the bench

@theyDREAD75 It could be argued that UAB basketball is the single most valuable marketing asset in the history of the school. It should be treated as, an invested in, as that.
English
We’re either in it or not. Time for our admin to fully pick a side! I think we’ve been seeing some willingness and some work on their end.. pedal to the pedal guys 💯

Coach Cal praised HPU for flying students out postgame. He added: “Administrations win championships. Coaches win games. In this era of NIL, if you’re not totally into it and they’re not committed, you’re not winning. You just can’t. And High Point is.” Worth the full listen.
English
@GoldnTickit Yes, many schools now are including what could be termed as a buyout although they do not use that language as a buyout would indicate employment and these are not employment contracts. There are also questions as to how enforceable those clauses are.
English
Does anyone know if Basketball currently makes players sign any type of contract? For example a player like Salim we snag as a freshman from HS, if he were to portal this off season (this is a made up situation) would there be any repercussions?
English
English
@TheTimStephens @DarrienStarling @theyDREAD75 The sustainability of the way things are currently being done in college sports is a question mark for everyone regardless of conference.
English
The American Conference might be the best talent incubator in college athletics.
Develop a coach? Gone.
Develop a top player? Gone.
It’s the most efficient springboard to the P4.
If everything changes year to year… what do fans tie their loyalty to?
English
Everyone is panicking about a “lack of upsets” but condider how many close calls we had in Rd 1:
Kenn St scared Gonzaga
McNeese scared Vandy
Siena scared Duke
Cal Baptist scared Kansas
Hofstra scared Bama
Wright St scared Virginia
And more…
English
@WinterSportsLaw @MattBarnthouse Right now, there is zero incentive for the top programs to be fair to mid Majors. If anything cartel behavior rewards them to suppress competition to devalue and then poach their assets.
English
Transfer fees like those described below would be good for college basketball and make sense.
But need a complete reworking of the college athletics model (at least for basketball) to make it happen and make it legal.
Another example of why that reworking should happen.
Anthony Dabbundo@AnthonyDabbundo
The best comp for modern college basketball is soccer When Arsenal and Chelsea raid the English midtable, the selling club gets a transfer fee as a reward for their talent ID/development How can we engineer college basketball’s structure to help MM reinvest and try to compete? The problem is the sport is run by people who have no incentive to give MM any of the reward
English
It’s more than NIL especially now that the house settlement is in effect. Lousy P4s can pay their worst player more than most mids can pay their best player without even touching nil. That means the likelihood of a mid major holding a decent player more than two seasons is very low.
English
Saying NIL killed the mid majors is lazy. Dudes have been getting paid long before NIL came around.
English
@ayoungpro2424 @HHHardwood Oh I don’t know, let have a few hundred million in leech money like 2/3 of the so called P4 and then let’s see what they do with it
English
@HHHardwood Or make them play a grueling Power conference schedule week in and week out, finish 6-12 every year in the conference and never sniff the tournament
Can’t justify who should/should not get in on 1 game results
A sufficient amount of mid majors get in as it is
English
The selection committee either needs to admit that they need to look at the selection process or just come out and say that they only want high majors. VCU wasn’t even in the field without winning the A10 tourney. They just beat UNC. Add it to Miami (OH) and High Point already…
English
Well when he graduated he specifically thanked UAB, AK, the fans and supporters. He’s done so multiple times. While here, he was nothing but gracious, gave of his time, was a terrific ambassador and helped AK recruit. He graduated. Is an alum. Played out the eligibility he had at UAB, and then exercised the unexpected opportunity he EARNED. He doesn’t control media, doesn’t control what Michigan does, doesn’t control how others describe him. He more than fulfilled his obligations an expectations in Birmingham and AK will say the same.
English
Now that this has been cooking a while, I’ll share my answer. I’m in the No boat. I think he’s a UAB great, and the age of a dude being here 4 years is gone, but ending at another school makes it hard for me
Golden-Ticket@GoldnTickit
Would you be in favor of UAB retiring Yax’s number now that he met the requirements (technically)
English
@uabblazers7 @GoldnTickit Please define how he has not done so
English
@TheTimStephens @GoldnTickit The dude should be appreciative of what WE did for him not the other way around.
Different world view, I reckon.
English
@pensign @JonRothstein They are exhibiting true late stage cartel behavior — freeze out competition, diminish that competition then poach their assets.
English
@JonRothstein The NET is the devil. It encourages power conference teams not to schedule non power that are any good.
English
VCU didn't own a win this season over a team that earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament.
It just erased a 19-point deficit to come back and beat North Carolina approximately four hours from its campus.
Anarchy?
Nope. Just College Basketball.
English
@uabblazers7 @GoldnTickit He was probably the best all-around player in the history of the program.
English
@TheTimStephens @GoldnTickit What did Yax accomplish at UAB?
NCAA wins?
Scoring record?
Rebounding record?
So, he has AA year at another school and WE are supposed to reward that?
A big F no.
English
@CoachHamzaAZ @BiGGCAiN24 Because this program can’t sustain 2-3 more years like the last 3, yet they are not far from a turnaround. It would be silly to load up on high school kids when you need grown men now to fill 40 slots.
English
@TheTimStephens @BiGGCAiN24 The bigger question is why is UAB in the quick turnaround business? They’re not Auburn or Alabama.
For my understanding, people that went to UAB are a prideful bunch that loves their school and is going to ride with them regardless of the record.
English
High Schoolers you probably don’t want to go to their camp
