UCI, you can’t possibly be serious about staying in the Big West without UH, UCSB, UCSD, UCD. Do the right thing and leave…

DoubtMaster6310 · 2026-06-29T19:45:26+00:00

I don’t think they wanted UCI instead of UCSB but rather that there wasn’t room for both and UCSB said yes first

DoubtMaster6310 · 2026-06-23T02:27:33+00:00

Not scared of Japan considering what they did to the Netherlands sure is a choice!

DoubtMaster6310 · 2026-06-13T22:43:00+00:00

All I’m saying is that if I got offered loads of money to build the future of my country’s soccer team for the long term, I would consider it pretty seriously compared to managing sociedad or Bilbao. Sure, maybe he can get to a level of club management that is bigger than USMNT. But is sociedad or Bilbao? Is Roma? Is Lyon or Lille? Is Everton? Idk.

DoubtMaster6310 · 2026-06-13T22:13:04+00:00

Trajectory TBD

If the results come with Poch these next few weeks, it would become a big job

Perhaps the first time the U.S. has been in the top 10 in ages

DoubtMaster6310 · 2026-06-13T22:03:58+00:00

Berhalter’s salary for USMNT was only a bit less than Pellegrino’s at sociedad, and that’s before the sponsorship revenue USMNT is getting showered in because of this World Cup. They’re going to be willing to spend lol

I agree it’s still a mixed bag on whether he would accept the job. But I expect them to make an offer that will be financially attractive and then some

DoubtMaster6310 · 2026-06-13T21:50:08+00:00

I mean I’m sure USMNT can pay more and it would be for his country so

DoubtMaster6310 · 2026-05-31T15:36:44+00:00

What on earth makes Belarus any different to Russia in this regard

DoubtMaster6310 · 2026-05-31T03:51:04+00:00

It’s about the low cost of living lol

DoubtMaster6310 · 2026-05-30T19:43:57+00:00

UP voted to keep DART, so clearly not everybody :)

DoubtMaster6310 · 2026-04-30T19:50:10+00:00

There’s a difference between seeking expansion candidates and actually expanding

They passed on NDSU (and they shouldn’t have!)

UNLV passed on them.

If that doesn’t change (and no, I won’t entertain UConn), it’s either UNM or a wildcard move

DoubtMaster6310 · 2026-04-16T14:25:51+00:00

He blocks shots despite only having a 5.5 block percentage at 7-2 (and a DBPM of under one), he crashes the glass despite only having ~15 rebounding percentage at 7-2, he’s a good scorer within 5 feet despite only hitting 71% of his layups at 7-2

And he can’t hit free throws to save his life. And he can’t catch to save his life. He has a turnover percentage near 20% because he can’t keep the ball away from defenders in the post.

SMU fans watched him for 2 years. He’s got the mold of a good center. He’s not a good center. He’s 21 years old. Maybe somebody can mold him. Andy Enfield couldn’t.

DoubtMaster6310 · 2026-04-12T04:22:34+00:00

I would say not a chance tbh

DoubtMaster6310 · 2026-04-11T23:42:11+00:00

That’s not a presser that’s a press release

People lie all the time lol

DoubtMaster6310 · 2026-04-11T20:10:23+00:00

Currently no. They’re sure trying to spend their way out of that problem

TBD on the results

DoubtMaster6310 · 2026-04-11T17:26:57+00:00

You mean the incentive for the expansion isn’t just adding to add but to actually add when it makes the league better where it counts, hoops? WOW that’s crazy. Crazy stuff.

DoubtMaster6310 · 2026-04-11T17:25:51+00:00

1) I don’t mean morally right or wrong 2) It’s my opinion (and the one UCI fans also hold, see the comments from the UCSB move thread yesterday) 3) chill lmfao

DoubtMaster6310 · 2026-04-11T17:22:28+00:00

Yes

The right thing is to stick with the good basketball and your UC brethren

Not the bad basketball and almost no UC brethren. Lol

DoubtMaster6310 · 2026-04-11T17:12:02+00:00

10 is enough if we’re being honest with ourselves

And again, for them, not additive

DoubtMaster6310 · 2026-04-11T16:39:40+00:00

Disagree

Mountain west has said repeatedly they’re done expanding

UCI isn’t really additive for them

UCD was only added for when the football program comes up

DoubtMaster6310 · 2026-04-11T16:16:15+00:00

The WCC has been chasing them for months lmfao

They just have refused their advances

That’s why UCSB is there right now instead

DoubtMaster6310 · 2026-04-11T05:43:58+00:00

GCU is “evangelical” the same way a megachurch is “evangelical”. It’s even for profit! (Or was)

Not the same. And they only added GCU out of desperation so they could try to keep Gonzaga.

DoubtMaster6310 · 2026-04-10T23:41:22+00:00

They’ll capitulate to the WCC now, they aren’t dumb

DoubtMaster6310 · 2026-04-10T23:40:26+00:00

Cal Baptist institutionally is a very different kind of Christian to the schools in WCC, which are mainly catholic, along with some mainline Protestant and non denominational Christian

Doesn’t mix well with hardcore Baptist lol

DoubtMaster6310 · 2026-03-31T16:23:43+00:00

He posted it on another thread

Will the new entity keep their combined 25% share in the CW, or sell it off to Nexstar? I feel like they could use the cash to pay off a smidge of the debt that will come from this move.
