The point is that Belichick himself is all about zero distractions off the field. One of his first chapters in this new book is entirely dedicated to this idea, so it’s pretty funny that an interview about said book is really what set this whole situation off in the first place lol. To be...

Brother don’t get me started on the current state of NBA jerseys. I am firmly in the old man yells at cloud camp there.

Celtics choke again as Tatum turns it over and can’t even get off a shot on the final possession down 1. Just hate to see it! Couldn’t happen to a better franchise and player.

Apparently it’s not legally considered SA, so I probably shouldn’t have worded it that way. Regardless, my take is that playing for a prestigious D1 basketball program is very much a privilege, not a right. To me, what this guy did warrants getting kicked off the team permanently. Not saying...

Not sure if this is a hot take but I think how the program handled the Zayden High situation was pretty sketchy in hindsight. Understand that some of the details need to be kept under wraps for the sake of the victim when something like this happens, but even with that in mind I feel like the...

The age old Internet forum question lol. Over the years I see people on IC talk about how they sometimes do meetups for tailgates, etc. On the one hand I would be curious to meet some of the more “out there” posters just to see what they are actually like in real life, but at the end of the day...

Lol. Circlesky88 says “it’s UNC football, we’ll find a way to step on our dicks”, and right on cue we get this. “Hey guys we know everyone saw the interview a few days ago where the psychotic girlfriend clearly wanted to control the narrative, but we want to set the record straight that what...

Idk guys, like most fans I find the whole relationship bizarre and don’t love the negative news headlines, but I’m still in the camp that we’re going to have to see how the season plays out before declaring this to be anything more than off-season tabloid chatter. If the team really struggles...

Yeah not sure why this is getting so much pushback lol. We get it, there’s no salary cap or above the board accounting to pin down the exact numbers being spent on players like you get with professional sports, but people that are the most in the know about this stuff (IC staff) are saying that...

Like I said, I don’t think anyone knows the exact numbers. Norlander is as reputable and plugged in as it gets when it comes to CBB coverage. You can chalk up the article as pure conjecture or whatever if you want, but he’s not really the type to push clickbait junk and I don’t think he would...

Nobody reputable has the exact dollar amount that each school has spent on their rosters. There’s just no good way to get that info. The closest thing we have is this report from Matt Norlander that gave a ballpark budget of the top spenders this off-season. For what it’s worth, he is as...

I saw that number floated too by that Tarheel Illustrated account. That may well be true but honestly I don’t put much stock into those guys. Taking a step back and removing Stojakovic from the equation (doesn’t sound like we were ever a serious contender there anyway), the IC staff has been...

Didn’t say that they weren’t.

One of the most frustrating things about this new NIL era from a fan’s perspective is that we don’t actually know exactly how much money each program has in its budget and we don’t know exactly how much each player is getting paid. So in a situation like this people can speculate that we simply...

Lol this has great meme potential.
