Looks like it. There was a tweet that said they were selling the Beckwith ones at the RC. Maybe the Beckwith ones had his name on back. to possibly increase sales. Tho if u adhere to the era he played, as sman pointed out, they wouldn't.

But I kinda doubt these are also available at the online URspidershop.

I believe the #10 throwback jersey did have Beckwith on it. I saw a number of them being purchased and worn at the game. I didn’t notice any of the other Beckwith themed gear though.

I don’t recall an announcement on the jersey auction at any point of the game, which also seemed rather odd.

They said during the game that they were selling throwback Beckwith #10 jerseys at the game Saturday night. Did anyone see them? Are they going to be available beyond that one game?

Interesting that jersey with the highest bid is Jack Graham's number. It say's game worn, so would assume they would have their names on the back if that is the case. And yes, it would be really helpful to have the players name with the jersey. Could be a NIL thing though. All in all it is very confusing which probably part of the reason most of the jersey have zero bids on them.

The jerseys they wore on Saturday didn't have names on the back. Just numbers

Don't you think the players would put aside NIL to raise money for Beckwith Foundation? I am sure if you went to the players and said - do you mind we say on the website this is your jersey from the game so they can bid on it - and by the way, all proceeds go to benefit the Greg Beckwith foundation that all of them would sign on and say - go right ahead? NIL can't be standing in the way of this.

Revenue sharing in A10?

good point. but if you have $50B in endowments, do you really need annual giving?
Harvard's one year investment growth exceeds most school's total endowment.

Idk but it’s still less coming into the school. Also all the schools do say annual giving still matters. It used to be a factor in school rankings but maybe that changed I don’t remember. UR says it matters. All those rules about what they can use endowment for etc. too many rules imo. I’ve made the point that we could easily account for a few million to men’s hoops out of our endowment. We have the ability to be a player in “revenue sharing” if we wanted.

Maybe they r very rich AND very principled. Ha just kidding.

But I disagree a collective costs a school nothing. Unless everyone is doubling their giving. Which isn’t reasonable. If they r giving to collective they r giving less to the school. In many cases.

the Ivy schools collude to not even have collectives, which makes no sense to me. their alumni base is among the richest in the country. a collective costs the school nothing. if donors want to give, then give them the platform.

just a missed opportunity for that league. it's a decent basketball conference already, but they could be strong if they wanted.

one week until armageddon day. Seeing what they have been doing to other A10 teams we are going to have a hard time keeping it within 20. ho hum indeed.

VCU is going to destroy us, particularly at their place. Mooney usually gets blown out there when he has decent teams, so I can only imagine what is going to happen this year. Odom is not calling off the dogs either, we are a Quad 4 opponent for them, and for NET purposes they need to beat us by as many points as possible.

VCU has again risen to the top. I am still not a firm believer in Mason, but they just keep winning at this point.

Dayton - I would not count them out just yet. They have been disappointing in the A10, but they have won 3 in a row and their next 3, if they can win those - @Bonnies, @St. Louis, Davidson - then they might be back on the bubble talk. Then the 4th game in that stretch - is VCU at home - so really, they need to win the next 4 games to have a shot at re-entering the NCAA talk.

Well - this has the looks of possibly backfiring big time.

Still early - but as of Monday morning, there are 17 jerseys available for auction, and only 4 of them have bids on them. Opening Bid for most is $210 - so maybe a little too rich for people wanting to spend at UR? But this will not look good if at the end of the day - they only give away 4-5 jerseys with limiting bidding.

Also possible in true auction style - people waiting till final minutes to bid.

Well, the jerseys should have been out weeks ago for auction. It should have been promoted at every game the past few weeks and heavily on Saturday night. So, not shocked they are not getting a lot of bids, because we haven't really done that much to promote it.
