I watched the last 47 seconds, and I don't believe I have ever seen a BB team shoot themselves in the foot like Houston did!

Does anyone think that the fix was in?  It’s happened before.  I can think of Boston College and Arizona State.  It may be more likely today with increased gambling.

I seriously doubt it considering most of these kids have NIL money that is higher than what some highstakes gambler is going to pay them to through the game.  And those kids were torn apart by losing that game.

I seriously doubt it … And those kids were torn apart by losing that game.

Hmmmm.  It has only taken a couple of the right two players to shave points.  The remainder of the players were unaware.  My opinion—it’s possible.  I was just asking if anyone else has an opinion.

Anything is possible.  I find it highly not probable

I don't have an opinion on that game, but the NIL money worries me in a team sport.  Maybe one player is seen as "the Star" and gets a good chunk of NIL money.  So another player thinks, "I am not being respected and I want some of that and can get it another way."  Not saying it happened, I am just concern about what NIL might do to team cohesion.

It looks like I would have done a lot better if I went with the Frozen Four and not the Final Four! Congratulations to the Western Michigan Broncos on their hockey national championship. While I was never a student there, my dad was. I have spent some time on campus for various events. It is a very good school, I was glad to see they won.

I was also pleased to read today that they did not have a single player receiving NIL money.

I'm looking forward to seeing Bump suited up in the black and orange for the Flyers!
