Sure, so Louisville should have given Kenny Payne five years to figure it out. I honestly never wanna see this guy do an interview ever again.
Asked Coach Boeheim today how long he thinks a head coach deserves to establish his program? His response? "Every coach should get five years." "Now, it's a rebuild every year. And you're putting a coach in a position of 'I've gotta have enough money to get good players.'"

I’m tired of this narrative. JB said the same thing last year, Syracuse raised its budget significantly and it lost a buy game anyway - something last year’s cheaper team didn’t do. What’s Hofstra’s budget? X’s and O’s win more in college these days than Jimmys and Joes.
Jim Boeheim told us today that he believes Syracuse men's basketball needs a $10 million budget to be competitive in NIL🍊🏀 He did not say how much the team spent this season, but said they had more money than last year - when the budget was reportedly slightly over $2M

This had to be so good for Del Sol’s metrics. Like jumping 30 spots in the KenPoms
The Del Sol (NV) Lady Dragons remain undefeated, improving to 10–0 after a 104–1 win over Cheyenne 😳🔥 See more: https://t.co/e1zof9h7rj

As the Red Sox continue to search for a big bat to add to their lineup, they made an unusual trade Monday to shake up their pitching pipeline and shipped Luis Perales to Washington for a massive...

Tim to Boston Strong 34:
@BostonStrong_34 I did not report that they “continue to be in contact and continue to show interest.” I did report that they have sniffed around this offseason, as The Athletic reported. If you are going to rip off what we write, at least do it accurately.

Where do things stand with the Red Sox and free agent starter Michael King?

One Red Sox possibility on the relief market, according to a source, is a reunion with veteran Chris Martin, who plans to pitch in 2026. Martin had previously opened the door to retiring after 2025 but is intent on pitching next year. There's Boston interest.

My breakdown of Syracuse’s final play of the game I’m certainly not a division 1 basketball coach, but this seems relatively basic to me. Tell me if you disagree. @McAllisterMike1

Per sources, Michael King remains in discussions with a number of teams on where he could sign. He has strong interest in being in Boston as a RI native who went to BC. But it's a crowded field at this point.

Hofstra is a good team, yes, but to be SYRACUSE, and to lose AT HOME to them is an absolute embarrassment. Aside from the first two games of this season, Red Autry's team has been extremely unconvincing in buy games over the last two years. Just a horrific sign with ACC play

Syracuse just paid Hofstra money to come to the JMA Dome to beat them and they are posting about Adrian Autry’s favorite animal on Facebook. This is from an hour ago when Syracuse’s tourney hopes ended 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The Red Sox did not make an offer to Jorge Polanco before he agreed to a two-year, $40M deal with the Mets. https://t.co/lgSWxXFMKp

The Red Sox kept tabs on free agent infielder Jorge Polanco before he agreed to terms with the Mets on Saturday. That pursuit wasn’t a particularly serious one, though.
