I moved to New York for about 5 years and got super out of touch with college basketball altogether. Back in STL these days.

It's not a unique situation to Mizzou, as APR affects all teams and their transfers the same way. The reason it's such a big issue now though is because of how much exodus their was when KA was hired. Those transfers put mizzou in a more precarious spot APR wise.

Coaching movement that might affect SLU

I don't take this personally. -

I love billikens.com. I get older and it stays the same. -
I feel like you're making that up? St. Louis ponied for the Eads while Chicago lawmakers attempted to block the plan.
-
You're probably correct. I guess my feeling is probably based on my own perceptions of cities I've never been to or heard much about based on how many teams they have.

Would relocation of Rams open opportunity for SLU?
cheesycow replied to bk18's topic in Billikens.com Main Board
Yeah. It's so crazy that they still attempt to have Cardinals, Blues, and Billikens games in such a rough area. -
I'm not an economist so I can't truly say this for sure but it was my experience in living downtown that the Dome anchored a lot of development downtown, which has in turn indirectly led to a small but vibrant startup boom in and around Washington Ave. I'm not saying that losing the Rams would be catastrophic to those efforts, but I can't imagine it would help.

It's just amazing how much the cost has risen in the last 10 years. Tuition for me at Mizzou was around 5k as an Missouri resident. It's now doubled. I seem to recall SLU being closer to 20k? I'm a little fuzzier but that's roughly doubled as well. Has the value of an undergraduate degree doubled? I really don't think it has.
-
A terrible load of bull, and with 38k a year representing "value" I wouldn't be surprised if there are plenty of SLU alumni who are perfectly happy when their children elect to go to some of the fine public institutions in the state of Missouri. Most of my peers (who went to both private and state schools) are just now, almost a decade out of college, making more than that a year.

Obviously I'll never be a Quin Snyder fan, but it's hard to denigrate the path he had to take to this point. He was pounded by fans and media alike on his way out from Mizzou, took his lumps in the NBDL, Europe, and as an assistant and is highly regarded by people like Popovich now. Perhaps the pro game was always better suited for Quin. College certainly wasn't.

My bad, dog.

I like debate. This isn't the only board I go to but in general I like most of the people on here, especially the ones I've had the pleasure of meeting in person. Just because we disagree on lots of things (most notably SLU v Mizzou) doesn't mean I don't enjoy the back and forth. I also enjoy reading what other people have to say. Suffice it to say my day isn't predicated on winning arguments on here but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy the act of doing it. Same reason people respond to me I'd guess.

How many communication majors on SLU's bball team?
-
He's a troll but it's good to be trolled by him. The fact that he talks about SLU at all speaks to the increase in recognition the program receives now.
