Good question, it did until the last 5 games. LOL
The inside information would be helpful if it were of a positive nature. Instead you come on here and tell people how hiw and mighty you are. And your inside information affirms the good old boy network is happy with mediocrity. Maybe you should get a thick skin and stand up to these guys and demand better.

We have already become more and more used to it. Probably move the needle from .55 to .51 or so in my unscientific estimate.
I apologize if how I speak makes you feel inferior. Sounds like you have some self confidence issues. So anyone that does not agree with your views is unwelcome on the board?
So our voices on this board are not equal, they are weighted based on how long we have participated on the board?
That is not a nice thing to say about your fellow posters. Although, I disagree with your statement, I do think fans should try to support the basketball program in whatever way they can.
well that's one way to shut me up!So to fix that, you will only be able to post on this Board by donating to Nil. Each $100 of donation equals one post…
Which would include advocating for new leadership, which is where many of us are.
I know you are trying to be funny, but the NIL program would be run by pretty sharp alumni. I don't think we would have that issue.
Well, the good news is there are a lot of people that support the program who do not participate on this board.
Agree. And that is logical, and the data supports it. Time to move on to better possibilities. The same ole same ole is LT stale.
Right, but enough about the coaches and their families..
Wow. Our coaches must have some big families. And, they sure were loud at the A-10 tourney last year. Find some class at some point. Your act got old a long time ago.
Very true in that situation but there will be plenty of (now legal) $ oportunities in the future for the best player at a smaller school like UR to get poached by a higher bidding power 5 with larger NIL backing. That shouldn't change anyone's fandom but it would simply suck (For lack of a more articulate explanation).
sucks for the coach and the fans. it's great for the kid.
Absolutely. Of course a lot of the "big boys" have been paying football and basketball players forever but your point is very well taken.
I hate that excuse - cause those "barriers" you say are self imposed. They are not imposed by the NCAA or the A10, they are something UR has decided for themselves. So you can't use it as an excuse for why we can't reload. Because we could lower our admissions, we could create majors that are easier for our athletes, etc. I am not saying we should, but we have that option and we, as a school, have said - we will not do that. So if that is the case - then you gotta find a way to work around that and still be able to produce winners. If not - then like I have said before, maybe we are in the wrong league. Maybe Patriot league would be better - where academics are more of a priority in that league probably more than others outside of the Ivy league.
If we don't need to change anything (and I am not saying I disagree) then people need to stop saying - well, VCU can let this kid or that kid in, we can't, or they don't have kids graduate, etc. Stop saying those things if you think we can be competitive at a high level AND have academic standards. I am not picking on you directly Kneepad- just saying people in general who make those statements.
