Many on this board still think we are a nickel and dime operation. I would like to point out this article as an example as to our commitment to the basketball program. This expense would not have happened under Biondi. May and Fred deserve credit for letting Ford recruit at the highest level. 

If SLU can be the institution that develops a working treatment for the virus, I think the basketball team should be an automatic qualifier in next year's Final Four.  

I refuse to read this thread, but saw SShoe’s last post and wanted to post this from Twitter. If somebody already posted it, sorry, but I’m not gonna read through this thread to check.

You only redshirt someone who can help you later down the road.  I don't think Diarra fit that category.

Bad post.  Not cause you're wrong or anything, just it's so depressing to even think about.

Seems way early for him to say anything like that. He's probably wishing for the season to be cancelled given how bad UConn football is...

People need to quit putting all credit/blame at the feet of every president that serves.  They are not all powerful people, even if they want to be.  It's overly simplistic thinking and people, particularly graduates of Saint Louis University, should be smarter than that.

According to this website, U.S. domestic oil production increased from 5.2mm barrels of oil per day in January 2009 to $8.9mm on January 2017 (a 70% increase). Yup, it was all Trump.

this part cracks me up.  It has been noted by pretty much every former staffer that the man won't even read one page memos, but yeah, he rewrote all the regulations involving the oil industry.  sure he did.

Well, now the unemployment rate is going to be 30% and presidents, for right or wrong, get credit when things are good and blame when things are bad.  
Deregulation and tax cuts often seem like good ideas at the time, but sooner or later the bill comes due.  

I've read all 87 pages of this godforsaken thread, but I never actually threw up until a minute ago. 

I have no idea of how good this guy is, but he's a direct fill-in for Hankton's spot in the scholarship grid and almost surely an upgrade given his stats.  And if nothing else, he can play French's minutes during the final stretch to help with foul shooting

If I had a dollar for every time we've said that in April...

Take a test and get back to work or don't take the test and don't get paid. Seems like nearly every American would take that deal and I'm sure athletes will too.

I have no doubt that attempts to reopen the economy will be made in weeks not months because similar noises are already being made in Europe.  The question is will we adopt the only practice that has worked in both Asia and Europe: massive testing of the general population and isolation.  If not, we could be right back here in November, lamenting the Billiken season that could have been.

This virus has killed 26,000 people and counting with the country going into complete lockdown. So if we hadn't gone to the measures we had, where would the death count be? These restrictions can't go on forever and I agree with @kshoe that we're going to have to go back to some level of normalcy once it's time for school to resume in the fall but I also think that the mass hysteria was valid and has saved lives while we work towards slowing the virus and finding a solution. 

We can get back to something resembling normal without eradicating the virus. Most of South Korea's factories restaurants and shopping malls are open.
