First ACCT game goes 13 innings before Miami finally sees off Georgia Tech, ending the Jackets' season apart from a meaningless (for them) game against Wake. Coming up: NC State prepares to go 0-4 against BC on the year. Meanwhile in the SEC, South Carolina beat Vandy in 11 to keep very slim tournament hopes going; they'll need at least one more good win to have a chance.

Glad if mildly surprised that Yurtseven is coming back to State next year, coaching change must have made a big difference considering how bad Gottfried hosed up using him last year. (Also how low his draft stock dropped after being misused.) Not ideal for Keatts' run-and-gun but I'm sure a lot better than the team would be without him, considering how thin the frontcourt was getting.

Braxton Beverly, fresh off his release from Ohio State, could well be ending up at NC State. Would be first but not definitely not last benefit of Keatts's Hargrave connections.

NC State confirmed the signing of Braxton Beverly today. That's not even remotely an NC State name but if he can shoot even a little bit I think everyone will deal.

NC State has to appeal the NCAA for Braxton Beverly's eligibility because he enrolled in summer school at OSU before Matta got the boot, which means the NCAA might decide to treat him as a transfer. Obviously, since that would be totally asinine, it's probably what will happen, and I expect Beverly will have to sit out a year; not like State's going to be much good with or without him this go-round.

Bowen's recruitment was super weird, I just remember because State was a finalist, though they were never getting him. It seemed though like he was headed to Michigan State or maybe Arizona (hmm) but Louisville just came out of nowhere and snagged him.

Amateur sports is an exploitative sham, highlights at 11. Seriously though, we as a country brutalize entire communities through generational poverty and intractable despair and then hold out the one above-board lottery ticket of big-time sports, only to snatch it away if the students and families involve dare to reach for that money? And the system will only ever act when its illusions of virtue and self-betterment threaten to get crushed under the sheer mass of money the whole system is hemorraghing to make sure the athletes can't get paid a second too soon? gently caress this whole thing.

So glad NC State cleared house this year now we can just forget how borderline shady Gottfried was and move on with our carefree lives.  (Dennis Smith Jr probably was legit since he's a lifelong State fan but goddamn if I'm not sweating it anyway. Also it would be such an NC State poo poo move to cheat and still suck.)

Could cost Louisville upwards of $44 million to fire Pitino. Obviously that's a starting point for the buyout negotiations, but still, goddamn. Highlight of the article is a list of other things Louisville could do with that much money, including boring stuff like wipe out student debt, or give free rides to needy students, or pay off big retention bonuses to the faculty, etc., but then there's also this suggestion that could lead to some uniquely unsatisfying bedroom roleplay:

Former Louisville player and present assistant coach David Padgett (no relation to Scott) is now interim coach. Supposedly they're going to make a huge push to get Gregg Marshall as soon as possible, whatever it takes; I imagine it will involve Papa John personally defeating the Koch Bros. in hand to hand combat.

Yeah, they're straight up saying that even though it appears athletes appeared to receive fraudulent credit, since UNC insisted the courses met university guidelines and since there were a small number of non-athletes in those courses (hence not an impermissible benefit), it's not the NCAA's call. So you can open up a Fake School Department of Fraudulence and make every class a no-paper no-exam independent study and as long as you have that in writing and toss a few non-athletes into the mix, you're golden. Any school that doesn't do essentially that now is gonna be behind the curve. I guess in the most cynical light you could say that layer eligibility was formerly mostly a matter of bureaucratic paper shuffling, now they're just eliminating the shuffle. edit: also UNC paid lawyers somewhere around $18 million to get this result, which is great value as athletics go and absolutely suicidal in every other institutional respect

Oh and by the way the same loving day the NCAA announced that Braxton Beverly is ineligible for this year because he enrolled in a summer class at his former school before transferring out when said coach got fired.

Thoguh posted:Which was such a bullshit argument by UNC because the classes were clearly created for and full of athletes. They just weren't officially restricted to athletes. It's actually worse if over many years you're allowing classes to go forward that have no pedagogical yield. That means they've survived multiple reviews and show you're incapable of evaluating your own programs. Something on this scale should endanger UNC's accreditation but, like the NCAA, accreditation boards tend to reserve punishment for poorer schools.

Gonna take my games class in the spring on a class trip tour of different arcades so technically they will get some fractional credit for going to Dave and Buster's. They'll earn it by writing though. mastershakeman posted:also re : UNC its extra crazy that they pulled off this argument since they're one of the five public ivies. replace them with uiuc IMO You realize the Public Ivy thing (and there were 8 of them, same as the regular Ivies) was just one guy, right?

I think NC State will be a little better than their Kenpom but probably not enough to add any extra ACC wins. Thankful for Pitt bottoming out, at least. UVA could very well finish first in the ACC again before doing their usual tank in the tournaments. Kyle Guy should be pretty consistently good, and they're hoping Mamadi Diakite has a breakout season too. They might even lift the tempo once in a while...

Louisville picked to finish 5th in the ACC by the media, is their talent really good enough to get by on inertia? Especially don't see them finishing ahead of UVA but I'm obviously biased there.
