Is it really necessary to run this MAC update multiple times a day?

Any MAC impact players with unknown plans still? Carbuccia at UMass comes to mind as the biggest ? left in the league if Skaljac and Ipsaro are indeed confirmed from our exclusive MHT reporting.

I get it doesn’t feel great to lose Elmer, Byers and Perry but we may actually be returning the most minutes of anyone between Skaljac, Kirby, Atlason, and Ipsaro.

SMU’s center who we neutered in front of several million people on live tv is in the portal

Brizzi from Buffalo, I think he still had eligibility left?

He was honored on senior night, but who the hell knows anymore. Looks like he played 9 games his freshman year at ‘Nova but not sure if that was injury related. If not, he should be done.

It is clogging the thread up and making it almost impossible to use on mobile

I enjoy seeing it. Thanks.

Not really. Pretty simple to scroll past. Once it slows down then won’t be necessary to update at such a frequency.

=>I will start a new thread. No biggie.

Biggie has been dead many years. I’m sorry you are finding out now.

I guess “Mo’ Money, Mo’ Problems” could be the theme song for NIL and the portal.

That or the theme from The Crying Game

I think this is going down the right path finally. You can’t have 26+ year olds playing “college” ball. Even the medical/redshirt process has become a mess. Simple rule. Some guys will have bad luck with injuries or other circumstances, but that’s life. Especially with the increase in European transfers in hoops, we need a simple age rule for eligibility.

According to the concept, NCAA athletes would have five full years of eligibility from the time of their 19th birthday or their high school graduation, whichever is earliest. No waiver requests, redshirts or exceptions will be permitted, except for a small group of outliers (those on maternity leave, military service or religious missions).

…

Most notably, as currently written, the proposal eliminates the ability for athletes to regain seasons of eligibility through redshirts (even for medical reasons) and waivers, which have complicated the eligibility system and resulted in many of the organization’s legal entanglements.
