2026-27 Staff and Roster

[leo from jersey]

The NCAA board of directors are made up of presidents (or designees) of 20 different schools. Only six of them are from P4 institutions, with four of those from B1G/SEC schools. The remaining 14 are spread out across D1, including mid-majors and FCS programs.

That is the official allotment. The thing is money does the talking and just a few schools bring in the money that are distributed to all in various measures. I think we know who sets the procedures. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Who carries the clout Ohio State or Ball state. I think we can plainly see that by who is picked to go to the various championship tourneys. TV needs marquee matchups. Who will many watch this year Texas Tech v, UC or East Carolina v. Charlotte. Who gets the games on prestige networks.

I am probably wrong in the make up of board members but I stand by the premise that upper eschelon schools rule and vote on matters that benefit only them and not college athletics as a whole. The state of college athletics wouldn't find itself in this mess after COVID if it wasn't otherwise.

So, basically the courts say NCAA can’t make rules on eligibility of athletes, and can’t stop athletes from gambling. There really are no rules anymore. The judge today said the athletes would suffer irreparable harm, but the NCAA would suffer no harm. I don’t think that’s right.

Bad news, at least temporarily. MJ Collins is ineligible again due to a stay in the Colorado ruling that made all the 2022 players eligible. Appeal coming by the players. Collins himself urging people to keep the faith and doesn't seem too bothered by it.
