Correct. They are the best team out there, and it would be nice to see a non-P5-or-Big East school win it and go undefeated.

No. I could give two shits less though. He's not as polished as South Building and the Rams Club would want, but I think he is a great coach.

yea I'd like to see Gonzaga win too, they are due

Screw Gonzaga. They play a soft schedule and for an IU fan that is the only thing we have left to hold onto is an unbeaten season.

Hey guys

Mick is loving life

A season that 2/3 - 3/4 of IU fans never witnessed....

Okay so, is Gonzaga truly unbeatable or does Baylor even stand a chance at this point?

Got 3 of 4 Final Four. I have Baylor beating Gonzaga but damn. UCLA is playing probably the best basketball of the 4.

UCLA may very well be playing the best ball of the 4. If Gonzaga is thinking past them, they will lose to the Bruins.

I'd take that.

for anyone that cares, there is 1 freshmen starting in the final four

Cal should learn from that

but he won't. He's going to try to rape everyone in the transfer portal now.

Sounds like the supreme court is close to ruling in favor of students getting paid by the NCAA

I don't agree with the logic being applied comparing the players to workers and stating college has a monopoly

players don't *have* to go to college and college does not have a monopoly on athletes playing basketball

they are also compensated by an industry standard scholarship which equates to roughly $100K to $200K depending on the school

but I'm not a judge on Scotus.

I agree that it's a slippery slope but the NCAA is the most inept institution in all of sports and has pretty much shit all over itself with this and it's probably the end of college sports as we know it.

If they rule that students are employees, then the bottom line is this

students go to class, employees go to work.

If the school is paying these kids to play sports then the incentive , which admittedly is pretty low anyways, its completely gone for them to get any kind of education, or even pretend that is still a priority.

Looks like UNC will be in a coaching search soon

unless this is a fucked up April fools joke

Wes Miller come on down?

This appears to be real..

Chris Beards buyout went from $5m to $4m today btw

Some fools at IC think Brad Stevens is going to leave the Celtics to come coach college ball in Chapel Hill. Absurd...

I would think he'd go to Indiana over UNC, just for personal reasons. And he wasn't going to Indiana

Speaking of Indiana, they are the 3rd highest revenue producing basketball program in America behind UK and Louisville.

How the fuck do they not throw money around at a serious coach?
