Thats my fear as well.

If you are a coach and have aspirations of winning an NCAA title you have to be coaching at a school in a Power 2 conference or at a private school with a large NIL bag (Think Duke/BYU)

BTW, just a small correction but Flagg is rumored to be making MORE than our whole team makes.

Agree - That was my worry at the beginning of this season and was why I was bummed that our Cats looked so lackluster to start this season. I feel our time to win a NC has run out. I’ve heard all the arguments about why college sports is where it’s at today, but I miss the tradition and rivalries I grew up with because they existed in a microcosm that didn’t appear to be that heavily influenced by other factors. So be it….I can’t do anything about it. Betting companies will figure something out between the universities and the NBA and I probably won’t watch it.

And screw you, Cooper Flagg….I hate you because you’re a Dukie

I hope you suffer from chronic hemorrhoids your entire life!

I really want Duke to lose this weekend. Flagg's perfect season has been nauseating.

So Vessar aspires to be in the play-in game for two more years?

I have AU/UH in my pool, and I am the only person with both, so I would appreciate if FloRider and Puke both lose on Saturday.

He’s leaving the 97s unis (the best looking unis ever) for the lame baby blue….I hope he diarrheas himself during a game next season!
