re: NIL has neutered the SEC in the 2 big money sports
Posted by John Casey on 3/29/26 at 6:28 pm to Lgrnwd
It’s cyclical and I don’t necessarily think this is all NIL related.
In basketball, last season, there were 0 Big 10 teams and 2 SEC teams in the Final Four, with the SEC winning it all.

To try and fix Guidry’s psyche and see if he can throw strikes in a no pressure starter situation since he’s been blowing so many saves?
re: The fifth foul on Grace Knox was a crucial play in the game & was wrong, wrong, wrong

I only had a chance to watch the 2nd half but the refs seemed allergic to giving LSU any “And 1” opportunities while it seemed they gave Duke multiple.

Can't wait to see the hoops they jump through when a major school hires Pitino
Pitino isn’t going anywhere at this point.
A better analogy will be what hoops they jump through to excuse another coach’s decision to accept one of the better perceived jobs like UNC or Kansas.
They just can’t believe that a school like LSU is swinging its big ol’ tiger dick around and getting whatever coaches they want.
re: LSU has committed $200M to Kiffin and Wade

Who cares.
The money is spread across multiple years and is total athletics spending is probably still in the ballpark of the other major programs.

Will Wade fans don’t even think this, lol.
Fans want Wade because he got to the NCAA tournament more consistently than any other coach in LSU basketball’s history not named Dale Brown.
No one is expecting championships or even Final Fours. We just want to be able to be in the tournament each year and then see what happens because anything can happen once you are in the tournament.

Aww, shucks, you mean all of my hated rivals are losing? Bummer.
Conference pride is only fun for a year or 2 on the come up. After that, I want everyone to lose.

The Big 10 might talk just enough trash to bring back my SEC pride that I abandoned years ago in favor of rooting for just LSU.

Irrelevant to the question at hand
The question was would the LSU fanbase be happy if Wade just achieves the same level of success.

Yes
We were getting to the tournament every year and had a top 5 recruiting class on deck when Wade was fired.

Based on winning percentage Will Wade would be the 8th best coach in the SEC
Which would have LSU in the NCAA tournament every year, if 8th best, and a shot at catching lightning in a bottle with a deep tournament run.

I feel for him.
It must really suck to see everything you worked on and devoted your life to over the past 6-8 years be rendered meaningless.

Might be the dumbest logic I've ever heard. How bout you stay in THIS century.
NC State has 4 Final Four appearances in 4 different decades, with the most recent being 2024, lol.
Outside of Indiana and Maryland none of the other jobs that were open had 2 more recent Final Four appearances than NC State.
Jobs that were needing new coach and Final Four appearances:
Florida State - 1 (1972)
Indiana - 8 (2002, 1992, 1987, 1981, 1976, 1973, 1953, 1940)
Iowa - 3 (1980, 1956, 1955)
Maryland - 2 (2002, 2001)
Miami - 1 (2023)
Minnesota - 1 (1997 - vacated)
NC State - 4 (2024, 1983, 1974, 1950)
Texas - 3 (2003, 1947, 1943)
Texas A&M - 0
Virginia - 3 (2019, 1947, 1943)
West Virginia - 2 (2010, 1959)
Xavier - 0

All we truly want at LSU is someone that can get to the tournament every year, and Wade is the only coach outside of Dale Brown to get there consistently and the last time Brown went as many years in a row as Wade was 1989-1993.

I have just as much fun during LSU’s runs in Omaha as I had during the 2006 Final Four run.
I don’t care about national prominence of a basketball title over a baseball title.
In the SEC and at a baseball school like LSU, they are kind of equals from a fan perspective.
re: IF Will Wade Returns, What Are Our REASONABLE Expectations?

The same as his first tenure.
Significant improvement and NIT / NCAA bubble team in year 1 and then NCAA tournament every year after.

Not sure what you're saying...I said best offer.....not every open job
Wade was ready to be a head coach at a major program, again. Those were the major programs with an opening at the time Wade was wanting to make the move.
I don’t think we know if Wade had offers from any of the schools other than NC State.

Only Indiana (8) has more final four appearances than NC State (4) on that list.
