Kofi is...just returning to Illinois. Back in the contender mix they go. Curbelo and Cockburn is a heck of a duo to play around.
LOL, he announces he's in the portal.  Then announces a final 3 of Kentucky, Florida State and...Illinois.  Then announces for Illinois with a post stating "KING IS BACK"

I'm all for player empowerment, but jesus

I'm definitely pro-paying players because it felt like organized theft from them. But getting that right - change the rules to give schools certainty.

I've all along said that in order to give them every freedom in the world, except the ability to get paid, they destroyed the format that made college sports interesting.

In a group text re: the Olympic basketball team, I was saying that if the best NBA players weren't playing, and we were getting JaVale McGee and Keldon Johnson, I'd rather just go back to college players, and then tried to create a college roster, and couldn't do it.  I couldn't name a feasible roster simply because I don't care that much anymore about following a sport where you build your roster off transfers and freshmen.  Gonzaga and Baylor were CLEARLY the two best teams in the country last year, and right now, off the top of my head, I could name two players off those teams COMBINED.

MSU agreed to move their neutral court game to Durham last year, in exchange for a home game this year. Shocker, the rat is bailing

The Men of Mackey (Purdue obv) face the Ballinteers (Tennessee) in TBT tonight at 7 ET. 

Quite a few names you'd know going to make it for the MoM. Isaac Haas and AJ Hammons should be able to hold down the paint, and of course there's Robbie Hummel at the 4, bringing a wealth of NBA experience, and Evan Boudreaux. Lewis Jackson playing point guard. Kelsey Barlow is back. Jon Octeus, who played one season as a GT for Purdue and forever posterized Collin Hartman of IU apparently is unavailable tonight, but may be able to join the team if Purdue advances. Jacquil Taylor will miss TBT as his minor league TBL team is in the championships, but as he plays the 5 his absence may not be meaningful now that Purdue has Hammons and Haas.

Filling out the team are a number of players I don't know, mostly having attended other teams around the state of IN. 

Should be fun.

Carmen's Crew get by the Men of Mackey. BTW, couldn't the BTN get some #content by staging this kind of thing?

Bu seriously, couldn't the BTN field this kind of thing? An annual B1G tourney of ex players divided by team. Hell, they could do football, too.

 And it's time to go to the Elam ending. Wouldn't it be awesome to put that in B1G games?

Last year of Crossroads Classic.    All risk little reward apparently.    Weak sauce.  

Seems like none of the four schools really care about it.

They absolutely should, to fill summer programming.

Football?  Do 7 on 7s.  You could do that by just being in shape, without being in football shape.
