    I don't know how realistic it is, but I think it's an ideal setup if possible. Football at the top level is already walled off to the top conferences. Even if you go undefeated in one of the next five conferences, you're probably not getting a playoff shot. Just make it official. Bowls aren't run by the NCAA, either. Make big-time football its own thing, keep the NCAA Tournament intact.

    -everything is about $$$$, I get it, but I hope some how, some way, if the 4 Conferences do split for football that every other school not in the 4C's does not play them in football, let them beat up on themselves and see how long they like that, my gosh Wake Forest can only play so many homecoming games in a season

    -I realize won't happen, can't happen as those other schools need the paydays, but it would be neat to see

  2. -I get most of this conference jumping is about football but isn't the basketball tournament contract between CBS/Turner and the NCAA? I wonder if the lawyers at CBS were smart enough to put an escape in the contract that if something like 64 teams break from the NCAA the deal is void? it appears the current contract goes through the 2032 tourney, if it matters

    -would those 64 football schools strike a deal with another provider, or even CBS, to have their own tourney? that would certainly have marketability but that leaves out the BEast and of course a lot of others

    -of course, with Notre Dame there are currently 65 teams combined in the ACC, Big 10, SEC, Big 12 and Pac 12

    -will be interesting to see how this develops

    Thames did some work in the second quarter. Fought a crowd for an offensive rebound to get a second chance bucket. Put some pressure on the ball handler all the way down the floor to eventually force a turnover. Got his own rebound after a contested missed layup. Drew a foul on a shot fake. Effort stuff all over the floor. Up to 6 rebounds now. Kramer grabbed a couple more, too, and BBE is up 34-21 at half.

    -this is wonderful, my gosh how often do we go flying for a shot fake? wish our guys used it more

    Just a side note:  Rammer on the Press Box said he hasn't been told by Learfield whether or not they will be traveling to away basketball games.  Apparenlty Learfied hasn't made a decision yet, per Rammer.

    -thanks, I have been wondering about that, they have some time to make the decision but on-site is soooo much better

    Two Jones-related threads tied together in Twitter: 

    Basically this gives us depth and versatility in the backcourt. We still don't know if Williams will be given a waiver but we're deep either way. We can play a lot of different ways, give opposing defenses a lot of different looks. We'll be able to defend.

    -appears we have the assets to do such, how they are deployed is the key

    Fun video of Team Blue at practice.  Okoro jawin' at Robey is kind of neat.  It looks that Thatch Jr has been hitting the weights.

     

    -thanks for posting this

    -guys seem to be working hard, that's great, November 9 will be here before we know it, excited for it

    Tyler Bilodeau - PF, 6-8, 190 - Kennewick, WA (Kamiakin) - AAU: Washington Supreme (Under Armour Association) - Twitter: @TylerBilodeau34
    Offers: Saint Louis, Boise State.

    Interest: Stanford, Utah, Washington State, Colorado State, Loyola-Chicago, Drake, Lafayette, South Alabama, Louisiana-Monroe, UC-Davis, Montana, Montana State, Eastern Washington, Idaho, Idaho State, Liberty, Seattle.

    Latest News: Bilodeau received an offer from SLU. (7/12/21)

    Scouting Report: Bilodeau is a stretch four who runs the floor like a guard. He can shoot it from beyond the three-point line, beat defenders off the dribble, and is effective with his back to the basket. He has great hands and good length, and rebounds well at both ends. He is the son of former NHL first-round draft pick Brent Bilodeau and WNBA player Cass Bauer, and his cousin is 2021 NFL first round draft pick Payton Turner.

    -good bloodlines, looks to be a lot to like

    Slight tweak to the above schedule - Stu is reporting that the SIUC road game has been pushed back a season, to 2022-2023.

    We had SIUC on the schedule and it was bumped to next season. Not sure if that was driven by them or us or both. I assume it'll still be a road game when the series resumes, as that's what it would've been this season.

    -thanks, guess I missed this over the holiday

    Rothstein's A10 Offseason Breakdown.

    https://collegehoopstoday.com/index.php/rothstein-files/atlantic-10-offseason-breakdown-2/

    He picks the Bills 4th behind Bonnies, Spiders, and Rams.  Billikens scattered throughout his 'teams', highlighted by Perkins being POY. 

    -interesting he doesn't see Ryan Daley as a loss for StJ's

    -my only issue with his projected order of finish is we will finish ahead of Richmond so I hope they finish second as that means we are first

    The 2021 EYBL regular season begins next week running from July 13th thru the 19th with Peach Jam to follow, July 20th thru the 25th. In the past I have paid for the streaming service to watch games of interest (I ended up having to pay for like a month subscription to whatever site it was). I haven't looked for it yet, but plan to this weekend. If I find it I will pass it along, but in the past every game was streamed on the site including the younger age groups, so it was worth it for a hoops dork like me.

    -ah, thanks, would like to see what you find
