You'd think we are going to start reaching a point where the players stop remembering what Penny did as a player, and instead have just grown up with Penny being an underachieving coach.

Originally posted by Maizerunner08 View PostAs much as it would hurt the league, I hope Memphis continues to fail. Act like a D-bag team and you get what's coming.
AAC avg: 4258
MVC avg: 3896
If you take out their 12276 per game, the AAC is at 3690. If you factor them back in at 4000 per game (probably well below their floor, granted), the AAC would sit at 3711.
I know this isn't portal related, but losing Houston (7400), Cinci (9600) and now SMU (5100) has really hurt the league's overall attendance. Hopefully schools like UAB, USF and UNCC can continue to draw better. It will help if WSU, Temple and Tulsa can get back to their historical averages. Tulane and UTSA need to get their acts together. Sub-2000 is abysmal.

Their 7,200 would be a nice add. But Dayton's 13,000 would be even better! If we're just considering attendance, of course.
They would also fit in nicely from a geographic perspective with Temple (5 hour drive), Charlotte (4 hour drive), and ECU (2.5 hour drive).

Maybe at first it wasn't all that clear, but by now it should certainly be clear that Memphis is not where you want to go if you want to make a deep run in March.FINAL FOURS:

The shift in kids thinking to being paid better is all that matters these days. Winning is secondary. Cheapens the game and losses it's integrity. Again...great for the kids but sucks for the fans.
1) Get $30 or $40K for starting on a team with little or no chance of making the tourney
2) Get $150K to be a role player (or even a bench warmer) on a P4+BE teamThe future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.
We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings.

”With that being said”
I can’t find who said it and where, but whoever you are…you are absolutely correct and I’ve never noticed it before. Maybe I just never cared to notice it…IT IS on every transfer portal post!
Maybe we should just change the title of this thread to “with that being said”.
