Re: Northwestern Football Wins Right to Unionize - 10 years ago
Another good article summing up the other 2 cases hitting the NCAA at the moment. The Kessler law suit could be an even bigger threat since he just wants to blow the system up instead of seeking specific damages.by phillysportsfan - Hockey

It is an endowed position so I don't know how much Cornell actually pays him a year (if anything) vs what the donor pays that endowed the position.by phillysportsfan - Other Sports
Re: 2013-2014 Basketball - 10 years ago
Harvard gave Mich St (a popular champion pick) a real battle, if Amaker sticks around a Sweet 16 appearance for them seems inevitable. Andy, now that wrestling is over time to get rid of Courtney. The conference continues to get better with 5 schools in the postseason and Harvard just missing the Sweet 16 while we plummet to a historically bad year.

Re: 2013-2014 Basketball - 10 years ago
CAS What do you think the revenues for men's basketball (ticket sales, fundraising, etc.) will be in 2014-5 if no changes are made? I would imagine revenues were low this year since we knew from the beginning Miller was out and Courtney couldnt coach. Revenues probably cannot go much lower and we cannot possibly be worse next year, I would think by accident they can get more than 1 win.by phillysportsfan - Other Sports

Weder Keith Olbermann gave a shout-out to the Sweet 16 team last night. video: He told the same story on Countdown when we made the Sweet 16. Hard to believe that was only 4 years ago, Sweet 16 to 1 winby phillysportsfan - Other Sports

Yes Northwestern is on his list but it appears he wants to go to Pitt where he is from, Some of the schools on Cressler's early list; Pitt, Vanderbilt, California, Stanford, Wisconsin, Georgia Tech, and Northwestern.— Matthew Steinbrink (@MattSteinbrink) March 20, 2014by phillysportsfan - Other Sports
Re: 2013-2014 Basketball - 10 years ago
βIt all depends on the fit,β said Cressler, who turned heads at last summer's Pittsburgh Basketball Club Pro-Am, scoring 38 in one game. βI feel I can play at a higher level. If it can work out on the basketball court, and I can continue the high level of education, than that's where I'll be.β Look like its a done deal that he is gone, article has direct quotes from Cresslerby phillysportsfan - Other Sports
Re: 2013-2014 Basketball - 10 years ago
mountainred phillysportsfan mountainred Awful news, if true, about Nolan. The only plus side is if this forces Andy to have to fire Courtney now Cancer, Harmon (who was a highly-regarded recruit even though he never played) and now Cressler. You have to hope that gets Andy's attention once he gets back from OKC. Of course, the school record for losses wasn't enough, so who knows? Well ifby phillysportsfan - Other Sports

ugarte semsox Cressler leaving the program. Hopefully this is the kind of move it takes to get Andy off his ass and make the move that should be made. I'm disgusted Link or is this deep background? First reported by this guy: Cornell has granted release of sophomore guard & Plum grad Nolan Cressler @NacFlow_3. He will indeed transfer.— Bill Beckner (@BillBeckner) March 20, 2014 , lisby phillysportsfan - Other Sports

Re: 2013-2014 Basketball - Amaker to BC? - 10 years ago
Typical media, always trying to put the story out there first I think Amaker can hold out for better jobs, a good job in a bad league is better than a bad job in a good league Will be interesting to see where Donahue goesby phillysportsfan - Other Sports
Re: 2013-2014 Basketball - 10 years ago
yes it doest make sense, BC has a new AD, if you are the AD I don't know how you don't fire him. He recruited too many Ivy level players and should have hired more assistants with ACC experience instead of bringing his whole staff alongby phillysportsfan - Other Sports
Re: 2013-2014 Basketball - 10 years ago
If he does get fired I don't see him going to Penn, it isn't the job it was when Dunphy left. There is a lot of rebuilding to do and the alumni have unrealistic expectations, Harvard isn't going anywhere He would be better of becoming an assistant at a major or becoming a coach at another mid major again. I hope he can put it together nex t year, has to make the tournamentby phillysportsfan - Other Sports

Which reminds me, I'll need to clear out some space on that DVR thingy.

Trotsky Jeff Hopkins '82I guess I know where my allegiances lie.The best thing about the World Cup is it's fun to root for the US. In pretty much everything else that's the equivalent of rooting for Exxon. There is no sweeter feeling than when the US men's basketball team loses.

Meanwhile Zach Spiker has Army at 5-1 in the Patriot league, 9-8 overall. Last year they finished 16-15 which was their first winning season in 28 years. Its a shame he left right before the Sweet 16 year, he would have been the logical replacement for Donahueby phillysportsfan - Other Sports
Re: 2013-2014 Basketball - 10 years ago
On the bright side they did play well in the 1st half, they werent chucking 3's like they usually do. They were really attacking the basket and the defense was good. 2nd half everything fell apart. Courtney has to go. If they finish the year with 1 win, I dont see how he comes backby phillysportsfan - Other Sports

Re: 2013-2014 Basketball - 10 years ago
mountainred Second acts don't typically go well and I don't see this set of players performing well in a Steve Donahue system. I will always remember Coach D and that 2010 fondly, but I think we need a new direction. Weird stat: Oberlin is on a three game road trek. We are the second winless team they will play during that set of games as they handled Cairn on Saturday. How often does thatby phillysportsfan - Other Sports
Re: 2013-2014 Basketball - 10 years ago
Courtney has to go. He can recruit but he doesnt know how to coach. There is talent on this team but they havent improved at all in his 4 years. They dont play like a team. They stand around the outside of the 3pt line passing the ball around and then as the shot clock runs down a player is left to make a play on his own. This winless start may end up as a good outcome because they were neverby phillysportsfan - Other Sports
