@JoJoAndMe absolutely. I’d have to go pencil it out but it probably would cost more to not do it than do it given the commitments of everyone involved.

@JoJoAndMe nah it’s already financed. Not doing it would open up a huge can of worms since there are federal, state, and local funds involved. Going back on those would be very, very bad.

Good rule of thumb: until a visit gets locked in take all interests with a grain of salt. Sorry for the mixed metaphor

@approxinfinity yessir

Congrats to everyone for playing

@BShark yep, Kohl is very active in the community. He seems to really enjoy it here but yeah I don’t think he’ll be around

Flory isn’t going to Duke. There’s a world where he comes back but the market conditions would have to change somewhat.

@BShark said in 2026 Transfer Portal Chaos/Madness Thread:

I come to you with more names...

Roberts Blums and Braden Frager

Blume is an absolute flamethrower. Frager is a really, really good player but I’d think it would take a small mountain of cash to get him away from Lincoln. He’s from there and Nubs seems like they’re ascending.

I think Case and Dooley out at minimum. Maybe Doc as well but he’s a glorified travel agent so really who cares either way.

LETS GOOOOO

Sweeping Missouri was fun

There was no actual date set so there was also no date pushed back.

Absolutely epic, epic choke job from dook. On a braindead play from Boozer

The dook luck is real. A good shooting team starting 1-18 from 3 is insane.

I have a better chance at playing at KU next year than DP

Wait but I was told the players are the ones who lack loyalty?

I talked to a lawyer friend of mine earlier. A court might not look at it very fondly because non-competes generally aren’t enforceable if there’s no geographic issue (Tucson to LFK is a long way) and there are no trade secrets really at stake.

Even if a judge rules on it, by the time that lawsuit would make its way through to a conclusion, that's a lot of extra money and time wasted if KU tried pursuing it.

Like most cases, it would give both parties a very strong incentive to settle. It’s in nobody’s interest to drag it out.

Saying we’re Indiana is silly. They haven’t made the second weekend in a decade and haven’t won a title in my lifetime. Ditto UCLA. They’ve missed the tournament a handful of times over the last decade. Especially lol at Louisville, who’s a never was and not that long ago won 4, 8, and 13 games in consecutive seasons. I get hyperbole is your thing but this one is something

@kjayhawks2.0 said in Money next year:

Maybe we can start off not giving hundreds of millions to a football program to win 5 games a year or stop getting top 5 recruits for a WBB program that can’t even make the tournament?

Football is the AD’s big revenue raiser and if we want a ticket into the P2 it has to be a huge priority. I’ve waived the red flag about this for years but some were like meh whatever an additional $30m+ per year in tv money isn’t important. Well when we can’t afford an elite basketball hire or to buy out Lance if this year goes south those folks should just be happy we still get to play ISU every year.
