Sounds like he can replace Shelby no problem...

Currently, not very well. I will predict the future here..... Consider the history of major league baseball. In the early years, the teams owned the players in virtual involuntary servitude. As the $$$ grew, the players eventually organized and for a while were in charge. Finally the players organi...

The dumbest thing ever done was NIL as it makes no sense. If players wanted to get paid they could go to Europe or some other avenue. Once they opened the door it became the demise of college sports Well ... one correction. The dumbest thing ever done was the NCAA deciding it was OK for *them* to g...

Yeah, I agree with you all. Jay Cutler, who in the grand scheme of things was a fairly mediocre NFL quarterback, was a legit stud at Vandy. He took a couple of really bad Vandy teams and made them competitive. Levis at UK was ... fine. He threw a lot of interceptions. Wasn't a scrambler. Started for...

It remains baffling to me that Thomas, who has zero prospects for a post-college career as a basketball player, would value 1 year of increased playing time at BGSU over a Vanderbilt degree. As has been pointed out, do realize that the increased value of the Vandy degree is very context dependent. ...

Honestly, there is no difference in these athletes and everyone else in there generation. They want a job where they can work from home, start at $75 an hour, play with the cat and watch some tv during work hours. If someone pushes back, they quit and sit at home collecting their unemployment until...

You know, technically you are an alum of a school if you ever attended there.

Of course, I'm not sure who wants to see Beth Ann Rhozaski play against her cousin Charlie Rhozaski in an alumni game...

Big money for athletes and VU are not a good match. Could be the end of schools like ours competing in big time college sports if that is what the model is (very quickly) evolving to. From what I've read in other posts and elsewhere, it does seem that that players like Tyrin get approached by other...

This is most likely about the money I see a few possibilities. Option 1: It's all about the money. Other schools can potentially offer more NIL money than we can. Option 2: It's about perception. Vandy has never been to a final 4. Vandy has not been to the elite 8 in over 50 years (thanks Jeff Gree...

Regarding QMB -- haven't grad schools completed determining who's coming in the fall by now and so informed the applicants, both athletes and non-athletes? Unless any of us know QMB personally, it seems possible to me that he *has* found a school and that the grad school *is* more important to him ...

Surprised we are looking at yet another frosh as opposed to the portal. Though I suppose with all the guys that left, we can take these extra 2 frosh and still have room for 2 or 3 portal guys ... who will be upperclassmen ... and probably more ready to immediately contribute ... making some of next...

You needed to look it up to get your own perspective about this. Maybe their school size, I'm not really sure if that the case but you would think so. I know that often schools are split in those divisions because of school size, but (at least in Kentucky ... I assume elsewhere) schools are allowed...

You made me look it up. Looks like a combination of sour grapes and legit complaint. If this Marhsall team is considered among the best teams in the country (which they apparently are) ... what the heck are they doing playing in a AA playoff instead of a 4A or 5A (if Virginia has one)? It is also fa...

VU now in the finals tonight!!

We haven't had a coach successful enough to get hired away since Fogler.

Um … Kevin Stallings WAS hired away from Vanderbilt. Saved us from having to fire him. I wonder if Pitt paid VU a buyout.

No, I think VU payed Pitt a dowry...

Or David Przbyzyzewszybysbzski?

We haven't had a coach successful enough to get hired away since Fogler. I think the idea of the OP is that we should hope for a coaching tenure successful to the degree that blue blood programs want to hire him. That's not true CKS's name came up several times and I remember him turning down at le...

NBA mock draft dot net says after Vic Web, the second pick is Brandon Miller who was shown to be a mere mortal in the NCAA tournament. Even if he is really good otherwise. After that is a 6-2 guard from the G-league. So you see how severe the drop-off is after a once-in-a-life-time generational phe...
