I have an acquaintance who is an important booster at another university in this region where, like Xavier, basketball is the front porch. He told me that the team's returning "5", who is pretty...

I wonder if we are approaching a top in the NIL market. Perhaps there is a parallel between what is going on with NIL and the concept of a financial market bubble. For example, a stock market top,...

Green may be reacting to addition of Foster. Seems like it is going to be really hard for Miller to get the depth he wants. He adds somebody and an existing player walks. Like herding cats.

For how many schools did he play? That's four, I think. I wonder if he has a college degree or if he just became a basketball carpetbagger.
