Re: Talk of giving seniors another year of eligibility.
I'd be surprised if they get an additional year.
This post is likely straight up poor sarcasm and cannot be taken seriously.

There is 0 chance Sam would come back. He’s ready to move on to a pro career.

This is the best thing for Sam. He needs to move on and make money for his career.Roy McAvoy wrote: ↑March 12th, 2020, 8:56 pmThere is 0 chance Sam would come back. He’s ready to move on to a pro career.

I understood the coaches to be fighting for the tournament to be rescheduled, not for additional eligibility.ProvoAggie wrote: ↑March 12th, 2020, 8:55 pmA few coaches have said that they're fighting for it and a few media outlets have proposed it as well.Aggie19 wrote:Who's talking?

It would not make sense for those teams that were projected to be in the tourney, to want teams that weren't, to get another shot at it, when simply playing the tournament solves the issue for those that earned it.
Go Aggies!

Re: Talk of giving seniors another year of eligibility.
I doubt it will happen and doubt Sam even would come back but his #1 goal was to win an NCAA tourney game for the Aggies and after what he did last weekend that getting taken away stings for us but is probably devastating for him. I feel for him most of all.

Re: Talk of giving seniors another year of eligibility.
Yeah at some point players want to get paid even if it isn't the NBA. Merrill would be leaving hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table and if he already has his degree I would also put it at zero that he would come back even with the option to do so.Roy McAvoy wrote: ↑March 12th, 2020, 8:56 pmThere is 0 chance Sam would come back.

Re: Talk of giving seniors another year of eligibility.
You also got to look at his age too. Since he’s an RM he’s probably what, 24? Most guys going in the draft are 19.Aggie formerly in Hawaii wrote: ↑March 12th, 2020, 9:18 pmYeah at some point players want to get paid even if it isn't the NBA.

Re: Talk of giving seniors another year of eligibility.
He'll make good money wherever he ends up. As much as I'd love him for another year, he needs to move on. He's already delivered way more than we could have expected.Aggie formerly in Hawaii wrote: ↑March 13th, 2020, 10:21 amYeah and I believe he is married.

I know we are pretty close to unanimous that even our Seniors could return, we know they wouldn't or shouldn't. But looks like the "life isn't always fair" adage might be impacting more than just winter sports. In a nut shell the 60% reduction of funds that member schools will be receiving because of March Madness cancellation, might cause seniors to have NO senior year in any spring sport.

Re: Talk of giving seniors another year of eligibility.
Yeah that sucks especially for players that dont have an option to go pro. At least Merrill will be getting paid real soon. The track athletes won't be and will lose a year through no fault of their own.

Re: Talk of giving seniors another year of eligibility.
That's a bunch of crap. The NCAA got insurance money for the tournament cancellation and saved money by cancelling the spring sports. They may not have come out with as much profit as years past, but I don’t buy this “whoa is us” routine.Bank Shot wrote: ↑March 29th, 2020, 1:58 pmhttps://www.cbssports.com/college-footb ... s-to-vote/

Most reports are that the insurance money was only about 1/3 what they normally make from the NCAA tournament.hipsterdoofus21 wrote: ↑March 29th, 2020, 3:56 pmThat's a bunch of crap.

Re: Talk of giving seniors another year of eligibility.
Yeah I don't think insurance money is paying out a billion dollars. Definitely unfair. While I admit I mostly only care about football and basketball, I have seen firsthand how hard other athletes pour into their sport with zero chance of a payday even if they are elite. Sad they'll lose a year of college eligibility.

Re: Talk of giving seniors another year of eligibility.
I don't know that it's none of the expenses. A lot of money goes into getting ready for the tournament. They paid for logos and marketing materials. They had contracts in place with venues that they may not have been able to get out of. Money was spent. I also doubt that the expenses are 2/3 of normal revenue which would mean they still came out in the hole.USU78 wrote: ↑March 29th, 2020, 5:51 pmBut none of the expensesProvoAggie wrote: ↑March 29th, 2020, 4:00 pmMost reports are that the insurance money was only about 1/3 what they normally make from the NCAA tournament.hipsterdoofus21 wrote: ↑March 29th, 2020, 3:56 pmThat's a bunch of crap.
