Props to any AD who really pulls off the 'they cut higher ed spending to our profitable sports program, and also our higher ed funding is still insane, so I have to cut costs that tend to screw over the players and fans but never myself' move

kiimo posted:^^^^really? I'll stop saying that then. Kansas is a lot like the Starship Enterprise in that it flies through a bunch of space with zero intelligent life. Going to be really fun to sell kids from Chicago and Baltimore and New Jersey on coming to a campus with open-carry in a state with a recent mass-shooting.

You can thank Illinois's dysfunctional government for screwing over nearly every state school there is. Illinois, Illinois State, and NIU will probably be ok because they are very large, and tend to get more money from other sources. Every other smaller state school in Illinois is looking at possible laying off huge chunks, or even closing if the state government doesn't get it's poo poo together. Glad we elected a poo poo Republican as governor!

Chicago State obviously shouldn't have been in the WAC at any point, and probably should not be competing at the D1 level period. Of couse that begins to get on the dangerous ground of the sustainability of college sports generally. I'm really worried about Chicago State because it's the only decent educational option for many students in the metro area, and one of the strongest schools in the country for Black and Afro-American Studies. I'm a bit less worried about their sports teams, though it's extremely admirable they're doing everything they can to fulfill the scholarship commitments. As much as I wish it were simply just an R vs. D or red/blue divide, from the inside you definitely see the hostility to educational structures from both sides; it's just more veiled on one side. And this sort of thing has been coming for a long, long time in Illinois and Chicago specifically, it's just been accelerated by the impasse. Anyway, enough of that for now, gonna watch some college ball while it still exists.

I do not like it and I'll never like it, but I'm prepared for UNLV to make an underwhelming hire like Pasternack. At that point all one can do is laugh at how bad the administration and basically everything has been through the years. So many different people, so many of the same dumbass mistakes.

I think Texas will do well and Baylor too if they can make their free throws unless they play a wheelchairbound deaf kid who wins the game with a fullcourt shot while his illegal immigrant retarded dad collapses on the sideline with a seizure the rest of the big 12 sucks who cares they always lose every year, at least Baylor had the every other year affmsn champ going for them

All of their sports programs don't suck, and they're in the top half of the Big Ten in terms of contributing television revenue.

The new Illinois AD gave Groce the official vote of confidence while firing our football coach only one hour and 53 minutes into the job. So I think Groce gets another year to drive our program even further into the dumpster.

A 2.0 gpa on a 4.0 scale means having all C's which is pretty easy to do as long as you actually give a gently caress about your grades

Should move down to save much needed money going forward.

For anyone who follows Wisconsin, this probably isn't a huge surprise. While they won't say it's the reason, it sure looks like Bo Ryan stepped down because of an affair he was having. And the fact he was taking her around the country on recruiting trips is especially sketchy if it came on the University's dime. http://host.madison.com/wsj/sports/...6687535c82.html Bird in a Blender posted:Bruce Rauner is Scott Walker or Rick Snyder with less charm.

The last few decades of fiscal mismanagement that led to the state being massively in debt had nothing to do with this.

I just partied on Franklin Street with a mosh pit of UNC fans. I had a chance to go up to Roy Williams and tell him, as a Kansas fan, I was happy for him, but I decided not to be that awkward. Tonight owned in every single way.

ACC bracket is ... uninspiring. I dunno, BC aside the conference is pretty solid top to bottom, but it's pretty clear that without a gatecrasher only five teams are making the NCAAT, and out of those 5 no potential storyline seems worth getting excited about. At least there's no possibility of a Duke-UNC final.kiimo posted:I respect but also am confused by the state pride it takes to feel this way. It's cool to see but at the same time, mother gently caress K-State and Wichita State. I admire UNC and Duke as institutions of higher learning, but can't imagine wanting anything but doom for their athletics teams. Especially UNC, where the athletic department actively poisoned the academic well.

I'm sure he's dogshit, but Illinois has basically been insolvent and completely hosed financially going back well before he even dreamed of taking office also gently caress Minnesota so much. Kick them out of the Big 10 immediately

I'm extremely happy and impressed that we managed to beat Arkansas on the road tonight, especially since it was without arguably our best player (Michael Carrera). At 24 wins, we should be locked into the NCAA tournament despite taking some dumb losses near the end of the regular season. We finished third in the SEC and secured a double-bye for the conference tournament. I'm hopeful we can at least reach the semifinals there. Regardless, I'm really loving excited about the postseason.  As someone who is also a UNC fan, I pretty much always have a rooting interest in the NCCAT, but it's just different when your alma mater is actually (finally!) involved.

Would be terrible to lose to UGA for the third time this season. Although, it would at least spare another beating by UK.

We used to be totally pathetic in the SECT but we've gotten a lot better there under Martin, so I have some hope.
