Exactly. It’s just marketing. HS programs roll out 5+ uni combos these days. I’ll take the Tahoe uniforms over the grays or the all navy from recent years. Agree that some gold would make these better.

Hasson followed his HC to Wake. That’s a good get. If healthy he can plug in anywhere.

Tells you all you need to know about Marion. Conklin is a complete stud and wasn’t planning to leave until things turned into a circus.

The key is to avoid trying to fix yesterday’s problem when you’re in a dynamic landscape. We don’t know exactly how this shakes out but as with prior iterations of realignment, the programs that focus on the main things are best positioned to deal with change.

Soft as they come.

Wood is peddling magic beans and has been for some time. Enjoy the entertainment while it lasts because he will not.

He’s at Stanford now.

The athletic departments at both schools do rely on contributions from the general fund to survive.

The solution is to replace the plastic with natural turf and to build up over the west side.

Showing Les the door without making other changes is not a winning strategy. Sac State is taking big wild swings because the president needs to in order to make a name for himself. Davis isn’t in that situation. There’s no need to counter crazy.

Even a lot of the guys that find a home have been pushed out. The landscape is crazy.

Get a grip.

Basketball budget of 3.5 to 4m to be competitive with the top of BWC. Need about 15% of that for NIL. MWC will require more, and a greater percentage of that amount to the NIL budget.

Start with what it costs to be competitive in the Big West, which is 3.5 to 4. Add 50% to compete with Nevada.

Wife is former UCD coach. She bolted to Oregon and took her best player along. Joyner played for Bob and coached under Randy Bennett. Must be desperate to get back west to take that job.

Totally agree. The program will not be successful no matter who the coach is without an investment of resources and an institutional commitment to be competitive. These changes can’t trickle in following the move up, they need to happen now to lead the move up.

Which makes him the oldest coach in the conference.

The academic excuse is just not reality. In this era just about anyone with a pulse can get into Davis as a transfer athlete. What is the vision for the program?

Santa Barbara was early shifting donors into NIL. They had to do it to keep the top 25 baseball program from defecting to the SEC. UCSD has the potential to become a juggernaut. Their central campus runs like a business and they have a fundraising machine in place.

Kinda. The funds are largely redirected donor contributions that would otherwise go to team Aggie, facilities campaigns, etc.
