He’s the biggest douche among the NU media and that includes the HOL crew.

And he's not even NU media any more.

Hang the fuckin banner!

They’re gonna hang a banner right?

I mean it’s a fox specific product, and it’s a tournament that if we are being honest means pretty much nothing

Yeah, this was a FOX tournament made for and by FOX.

Notice the conferences represented: Big Ten, Big East, Big 12, AAC, and Pac-12. All of whom have deals with FOX. FOX conferences Big Ten, Big 12 and Big East are the only conferences that get automatic bids to the Crown.

No SEC, ACC, A10, CUSA, etc., conferences that have exclusive deals with ESPN, or at least no deal with FOX.

So yeah, ESPN isn't giving an ouce of publicitiy to the Crown.

Why yes, in fact, that would be the precise reason why I specified in my previous post that this is unsurprising.

Then after taxes they'll end up with about 60% of that. It'd buy Jacobsen a solid wrist watch.

90% of these dudes will struggle to earn that type of inflation adjusted income in a short timeframe the remainder of their life.

I doubt they have that much taxable income to take 40% of this.

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Equal split is a cool gesture if that's what they do. And I wouldn't doubt Fred suggested that to Brice & Juwan before the tournament started.

Dudes that redshirted or play mop-up duty = $5,000 each ($25K total).

Griffiths = $7,500

Meah & Ulis = $12,500 each

Jacobsen = $15,000 (no homo)

Hoiberg, Essegian, Berke*, Morgan = $25,000 each

Williams & Gary = $63,750 each

*Not sure Berke qualifies as an international player?

(Fuck Worster)

I’d give essegian more. Was a big reason why they beat asu & UCF.

Except ESPN will go out of their way to push women's basketball and all kinds of other crap that they could at least show a highlight of the game.

Those are espn products, they have the WNBA and womens NCAA tournament.

I know. It SHOULD be about reporting sports, but it obviously isn't anymore.

I agree, but unfortunately those days are long over. Seems like a lifetime ago that I'd watch SportsCenter every morning.

Facts baby. Facts.

The Crown champion and runner-up are a combined 26-1 this year. I bet all those teams that passed on it last year are feeling pretty stupid right about now.

Both with big wins this weekend too.
