Gregg Marshall makes $3 Million a year, Smart makes $3.1 Million, and Brad Stevens has a 6-year $22 Million contract with the Celtics. For all you UNC fans that nets him $3.66 Million a year, and the NBA season is a lot longer but with no recruiting.

That has turned into the biggest cesspool in college athletics...and has been for a while. AAU, handlers at JH age. Can't blame guys that don't like living in shit for changing. JMO.

Texas had about 137 people in the stands for this evenings game vs TCU.

Really thought he'd do better at Texas but... not to be I guess.

Hope they hire Beilein, make the Big12 better and add some spice to WVU v Texas.

Not to that extent, but I've noticed a lot of empty seats in several arenas lately. Hell, I saw a lot of empty seats Saturday in Norman when Kansas played there. I know the land thieves ain't having a stellar year, but damn, Kansas came to town FFS.

and when some of these kids turn 18, they are convinced by their family that their uncle or older cousin should be the ones that represents them

when the NCAA tried to pass a rule (not sure if it passed or not) that would prevent this, you had dummies like LeBron throw a hissy fit about it over social media

the youth development system in this country is dirty rotten, tbh. People can blame AAU all they want, but i think the NBA should catch most of the blame. Get a real development system, dummies.
