We sure did.
Now that's $8 mil over 4 years I believe but not all is guaranteed. I haven't seen the contract personally just going off internet rumors.

Hah man I immediately saw that too. It’s set up to be the recruiting version of a catfish. We sure this guy is real??? Vols fans always assume the worst so I didn’t even want to go there.

Hey! You suck!
Bruce Pearl would still be the Vols coach if he hadn't lied about having a Sophomore over to his house for a BBQ. The pivot really is pretty crazy.

Hell Pruitt got fired last offseason for paying players. I know he really mainly got fired because he sucked but that was nominally the reason we fired him with cause.
Supposedly his NIL deal has a no transfer clause so if that's true he won't be a leavin us.

The key word in that is lying. It's the same thing that got Petrino fired at Arkansas. There aren't too many jobs where you can get caught red handed lying to your boss and keep your job. Especially with that kind of pay.
Right, and I don't disagree that you shouldn't lie, but just keep in mind what Pearl was lying about. They wouldn't even ask about that now... at least I would hope not. Wouldn't it be funny if a rule like that is still in place but you can pay a kid $8m?

I don't suspect we will see much out of the NCAA from here on, at least not in the regard. They lost in the courts so any push from them and schools will just leave and restart a new sanctioning body, if they don't anyways.
Wisconsin's point guard had his ankle literally go 90 degrees sideways with 3 minutes remaining in the first half. He came out with a boot on for the second half. The #2 PG has a long term COVID issue and isn't playing. They had to use their SG as their third choice PG because they didn't want to put in a freshman who had played about 3 minutes all season. The Badgers played better than Dayton did in the same situation. The Badgers lost by 5 IIRC. I think your are over stating it a bit. It is a lot easier to be prepared for disaster when you have more than 15 minutes to plan.

I don't know man- once again they have by far the easiest path to a #1 seed and once again they can't get it done. This Gonzaga team was good, but not even close to their team last year. Had they played an SEC/Big 12/Big 10 schedule they probably would not have had a 1 seed.
Wow - St Peters! And the clock refuses to strike midnight.

I think there are occasionally team like this that nobody realized how good they are because they play in a low major conference and never get a chance to show their stuff. It would also be so good for the sport if they won it all
What is so impressive about St Peters is that in none of these 3 games have they looked like the "underdog" or some Cinderella playing above their heads or out of their minds. They have pretty much controlled the 3 games. If they stripped the name off the jerseys and you knew nothing about the teams, you would not ever guess that they were a huge underdog.

Holy f***balls this is almost about as bad as could be imagined. Would have only been worse if somehow UCLA was in there instead of Villanova

They play each other in the semis thank goodness.May we be spared a NC/Duke final, please.
Gov Lee says the state will pitch in $500M for the new Titans stadium as long as it has a roof.
