There is no getting around what was in that decision. Guys will go to the highest bidder, if they want. If we feel we deserve a raise, we ask for it. If we don’t get it we move on. It has been determined that 20.5 is the number (salary cap). Problem is the current athletes do not have any say in that. Litigation will come, so temporarily a current athlete will have to adhere to the rules of a conference, while the litigation continues. Of course a judge may hit pause on this, and things continue as is until the issue is resolved. Either is possible. When does the issue finally get resolved? Who knows.

What’s crazy is even with collective bargaining you can still have strikes. It will be a negotiation for eternity.

I would agree. Anything involving the NCAA is a road to nowhere.

The problem is “what school” is qualified to determine a players worth? They are not qualified to do so, neither is a clearing house or database.

All it means is when is the next court challenge.

Basketball is a revenue sport and getting Toppin last year paid off big time. Many people thought they were crazy. They just gave him another four million. These guys really want to win. A billionaire can do anything he wants. He seems to want Tech to be great in everything, but I don’t think that’s possible. It will never work in football. Talking about paying for twenty two starters and their second team (in case of injury), will never happen. What’s funny is that is how much money it takes to get athletes to go to Lubbock. It literally takes millions to get one player to go there.

Is this the team? Are they still looking for one more player?

The game is constantly evolving. Players are more developed. The regular standard (Princeton offense) has gone away. Forwards and centers have developed guard skills. You want to get into who goes harder in a game? Check out some European leagues. All they know is going hard. Did you expect players to never attempt to learn other skills besides low post play? There are European offenses in basketball at the NBA level and College level. I don’t see pansies when I look at Joker, Luka, etc. The game will continue to evolve.

Somebody gave Toppin four million for next season.

If Jonah is going to smirk at the pitcher, don’t strike out on the next pitch.

If you feel that way then stop watching. The title of this post is not true. Do you truly believe Texas baseball sucks? The entire program and its history?

Who did Texas replace Ryan Conwell with? Coach Miller said they went after him, but couldn’t get him (high price). It will be interesting to see how the shooting guard position plays out over the year.

If Duke loses their guy to the draft then they probably get Sarr.

Both Dallas stars are over thirty. One is always injured and the other will be recovering from an ACL injury. Can Cooper develop fast enough for the Mavs to win? What’s left when Davis and Irving start to decline?

Copper Flagg wouldn’t go. They have no draft pics because of previous trades and have a high player salary roster. They would have to blow it all up and start over.
