That absolutely HAS to be the expectation

My expectations for Husker hoops is that you’re playing meaningful basketball in February. Which means you’re on the bubble or firmly in the tournament every year. You don’t have to make the tournament every year. But you do have to be in consideration.

Placing the expectation on any coach you have or try to get here that they need to make the tournament every year strikes me as Husker fans shopping outside of our budget.

I think making the tournament most years should be the expectation. It’s really not that difficult. Missing a year here and there is going to happen and that’s ok.

However as far as Fred is concerned, it’s tournament or bust imo.

There was obviously some hard lessons learned during Fred’s early time. Lessons I’m still legitimately dumbfounded had to be learned from a guy who was good enough to be a head coach in the NBA.

Had we had football in order and we didn’t switch ADs, I’m not sure Hoiberg would still be here.

Having said that, I do believe he’s found something here that will work most years and I consider the roster he put together for 24-25 one that should have played in the NCAA tournament.

My opinion is irrelevant, but I don’t think Hoiberg survives a collapse next year like the one we had this year. If he gets completely snubbed like Indiana and WVU did for a team with 1 quad 1 win like UNC, I don’t think he’ll get canned.

With rev share and the talent continuing to funnel to the top of the NCAA, the expectations most certainly do rise. With middle of the conference level resources at Nebraska that probably makes it a top 50 job very shortly. The history isn’t there. But does our history versus a big east school that will pretty much get eliminated by Rev Share really matter anymore? I don’t think so.

Think we're overplaying how much rev share is going to help us football schools. If we're going to be like Georgia and give roughly $3 million toward basketball that probably isn't as much as basketball only schools will devote.

The 3 mil is just from tv contracts though. Basketball schools are starting at 0.

I agree with this. My concern is Fred has hit his ceiling here and next year is going to be disappointing. Hopefully the portal heats up for us and it alleviates some of that concern.

Just going off that USA Today article that came out. Found it interesting. If the cap amount of 22 million is utilized at Georgia, and they commit 15% to mens basketball, that's 3.3 million.

I'm assuming VCU has squat for tv contracts, yet they're committing $5-6 million to basketball via revenue share.

Basketball-centric schools without football may soon gain major advantage. Here's how.

If House vs. NCAA settlement is approved, opening door to revenue-sharing with athletes, schools that care more about basketball may have an edge.

The issue is that basketball only schools aren’t going to have the money to devote.

Yes, the NCAA is going to allow up to 22m, but basketball only schools aren’t going to have that level of money to earmark for just basketball.

VCU is dedicating 4-5m total across all sports. They’ve even admitted they’ll have to find new revenue sources to cover this as they can’t now.

Which is the entire point.

You're correct. I don't think it'll affect a lot of these higher tier basketball-only schools as much. But agree that the mid majors will be royally screwed.

There’s quite a few basketball only schools with athletic revenues of around 40-50 million that simply won’t find the money.

I just texted a couple buddies pretty much the same thing. It's killing me watching these other schools hire quality coaches meanwhile have to sit here and hope and pray Fred figures it the fuck out.

McCollum, Devries, and Medved have a combined 1 year of P5 head coaching experience with 3 NCAA tournament wins (1 was a play-in game)

Thats got to be coming from donations though. We should have 3 mil plus donations.

Not sure how a program like VCU goes from operating in the red to operating 5-6 mil more in the red.

I get what you're saying. Be interesting to see what happens, as I've heard different opinions on it regarding what happens with basketball. I personally don't think we'll see much of a difference, but could be wrong.

Looked it up. Over half of VCU athletic budget is from student fees. So they'll just increase student fees so the other students can pay for the revenue sharing.

I think you’ll continue to see the talent funneled up with more money to purchase said talent concentrated amongst a smaller number of schools.
