Looks like Brian’s brother was killed last night and Brian himself was shot in the head and is fighting for his life. 

Yeah. Until he actually moves into campus, anything can happen. 

I wonder what happened

Did they schedule that or were they invited? I'm not sure how those tourneys work ...

I don’t either. Hence my question if anyone had heard anything. Wouldn’t want to win the conference again next, lose the tournament and be left out again because of lazy scheduling. Then again we may have no say in who wants to schedule us.

FAU can schedule whoever they want, their run is O-V-E-R. Their head coach and top four scorers - Davis (Arkansas or Kentucky), Goldin (Michigan), Martin (UF) and Boyd (SDSU) - are all gone. May also took their top high school signee with him to Michigan. They lose 64 ppg. Back to obscurity for the Owls. 

I get that they are over. I was just wondering if we were gonna start scheduling better competition so that we don’t run into the problem we had last year. 

FAU are already setting up their q1 and q2 match ups. Hopefully we can get something like that. 

Any word on our out of conference schedule for next year. We all know how it went last year because our week out of conference schedule.

I asked very simple questions and received no response.  I will not be donating to any organization that doesn’t respond to emails.

I agree with you. They don’t have to give names but at least give us an idea as to where the money going or is it all just going to pay for the salaries of the collective staff? We couldn’t pay any of our players last year. Are any in our current squat being paid. My guess is Reid otherwise he would have left too.  Did he get paid after they tried to poach him?

Y’all excited about a juco player while our conference mates keep getting stronger. I get that CAAR did amazing last year. But this year every team is gonna be out to beat us. And we really haven’t upgraded any aspect of the team while the other teams have. If you say the juco transfer and the fsu transfer are upgrades then I don’t know what to tell you. 

I wish one of our local pro teams would do this for us. 

Bunch of you seem to have a lot of faith that we will be picked up. If those teams leave for the big 12. We will be stuck in the aac for a long time. Might as well get used to it. Maybe the aac will pick up the rejects from the rejects. 

This how little people care outside of people in this message board. Only 374 views. 

I know it’s just random people on twitter. But still funny to see. 

How do you compete with that 

Guys. I got 4 extra ones. Let me know if anyone needs any? Reply with your Ticketmaster email for transfer.

What did he have to say?

It was all talk about the acc letting fsu and Clemson walk only to the sec so that espn picks up the acc 2027 deal. Basically blackmailing them into taking it. Espn is trying everything possible for fsu and Clemson to not go to the big 12. If the acc keeps on putting a fight they will not pick up the 2027 acc deal and let them die like the pac 12

I don't like these twitter personalities anymore than the next guy, but this sounds more insider than speculative, so I'll share. Read thread - 

 

I’m just gonna mentally prepare to be skipped. We had our chance and blew it. Sometimes you only get one opportunity. We got 2. Couldn’t do **** with it. Now we get to see ucf getting to play an awesome schedule every week. We get to see them get 4 and 5 star recruits. I know some of you refuse to see it. But I just don’t see us every catching up to them anymore. 

You really can’t blame people like this. I donate cause I’m stupid I guess. But other people will have a harder time when you don’t know where it’s going. 

I just have a hard time believing we didn’t have enough in the fun to at least keep Youngblood. A 100k and a car lease keeps him here. He knows he’s a starter and most likely goes to the tournament next year. So where is the money? What players have gotten what?

No way they are getting 6 figure nil deals. 
And money is cool but I know they want to play. A example of that is Battie, he probably had shot at the NFL by staying here forget about it now. He wanted to come back but we said no. 

That’s what I’ve been trying to say. You’re telling me they wouldn’t have taken 100k each. 50k? We don’t have that? Again where are our donations going? What players are getting what? Or are we just paying for the salaries of the people that run the Fowler collective? 

You’re telling me you couldn’t throw 100k to cy?

I saw this on the Mean Green forum. No idea if it’s legit

 

NIL Collectives – American Athletic Conference Schools – Listing of all NIL Collectives & Revenue by School

NIL-NCAA.COM

 

If that’s legit. Where is the money going to then? Who is getting paid?

There is good players that stay at mid major programs for their coach, like FAU and this year UAB.i know they don’t have Big NIL money.So the coach and school must not mean nothing to them which is fine, it’s understandable.

I wish them nothing but the best, but I think 2 out of the 3 will be disappointed next year when they aren’t getting the play time they like or the freedom to shoot like they want. They might get some money but might be taking 2 steps back in the process. 
 

I think as soon as CAAR gets a good P5 of he will be gone because good players leaving like this doesn’t make his job easier.Unless we start being able to pay these players there is no other way.

It’s just sad. I know a lot of us donate to the nil. But no one knows how much is there. No one know if they even offered anything to them to stay. Where is our money going? Just football? Is it time to make a separate fund for. Basketball? 

I blame ourselves. Not enough of us are donating to the NIL. UAB managed to keep their team intact.
