Scone reported that we spent a little over $2 million on our bball roster compared to other SEC schools which reportedly spent $5-8 million dollar range on their rosters. If our donors and athletic department refuse to fund our 2nd biggest revenue-generating sport to the extent where the roster will be competitive comparatively, then their priorities are completely skewed and we deserve whatever bottom line result we get on the ledger. Now, Scone also reported that the department and donor base expressed their intent to allocate the funds needed to help the basketball program for 2026 re the roster. We need to see if that plays out.


We addressed the Mascona comments in a thread the other day - there were others who took issue with other parts of his rant, but my main issue was - what is CMM's responsibility in that.

Do you think Pearl or Oats would sit still if that is what they were getting in hoops NIL? I don't think anyone one here believes that. And while I know that some don't want to hear this and want his name to no longer be mentioned but I can gaurantee you and I don't think anyone would argue because they know it's right....but if Wade were coach it would be much higher than $2 million.

That’s it, that’s the thread.


In a top 1-4 conference, definitely. I don’t think he’s capable of anything more than an NIT berth in the SEC, and even that seems like a stretch today.

He’s good enough to win in a mid-major conference, but he also landed in an ideal situation at Murray where he inherited a program that was rolling at that level. Who knows if he could turn a program at that level around.

Tale as old as time- G5 coach can’t handle the move up and falls on his face.

Woody has only made one bad hire and he needs to bite the bullet and correct it.

And yet, he has had more success and made more $ than you ever will. Sucks to be you.

I cannot disagree. But I do not think he deserves the buyout and I think I would rather spend it on nil and keep him as a coach.

So is that suppose to be a reason for someone else to change your mind? Some of YOU PEOPLE need to have your OWN opinions.

The "change my mind" threads are old, unoriginal, lazy, and an admission that the OP has completely given up on life.

He`s was a good coach at Murry St.I supported him give him a chance
to show he was the right choice for LSU.I try to give the hires my support
until they prove me wrong not because I don`t like the hire.Havin g said that
it`s obvious something just isn`t working out here at LSU for MM.I don`t
like the name calling or dogging a coach because he`s losing but his record
pre LSU wasn`t bad.
SW AND the administration seems to have decided to keep him for at least
1 more year and I hope they are right ,if not the next coach might be put
into a worse situation than MM.Remember SW doesn`t make hire,fire
decisions on his own, money talks BS walks.
