@yinzer_g@ianweir93 "It's a declining market" - It's actually a top 10 largest media market and one of the richest parts of the country, but okay, you say it's declining so it must be true
@Vince_R_Jansen It also always strikes me that Powell almost always just defaults to describing unemployment as "low" as long as there isn't a major economic crisis occurring at the time 😂
@Vince_R_Jansen I think that's fair. I wonder how much of it is just trying to communicate a simple narrative that makes their mandate digestible to the public broadly. But I take your point that they could achieve this without having targets.
@BrunsonDak4@NUBALLKNOWER Yeah, seems pretty clear to me NU shouldn’t have the same academic standards for basketball recruits as regular students. Not sure how that’s controversial
@BrunsonDak4@NUBALLKNOWER Lol you seem friendly. You said NU can't get good talent because of its acceptance rate. I guess my claim is, lots of schools with low acceptance rates find a way to get great basketball talent. How do you square that?
@aayushyagarwal7 That’s not a reasonable expectation anymore. Got lucky with Boo, Brooks, Mart partially b/c they started before the NIL era was what it is today. But to hold out thinking we just need to only focus on finding unicorns who want to stay 4 years no matter what seems incredibly naive
Sources: Utah State and Northern Iowa coach Ben Jaconson are finalizing a five-year deal to make him the school’s next coach, per me and @jeffborzello. Jacobson won 397 games over 20 seasons at Northern Iowa, including five NCAA appearances.
@NateWalder17816@BoilersBeyond I’d love to see the screenshot if you have it handy. Collins seemed to heavily imply he was out today after last night’s game
