Naming rights breakdown:
"Little Brother": $25 million over 10 years
"Big Brother": $15 million over 15 years

Maybe I am missing something, but the way I read it is 250K over 10 years to get to the 2.5 million.

...gifted $2.5 million over 10 years...

Correction. It’s $2.5M over 10 years. Still small time.

You're right. I'm an idiot. That makes way more sense. I was getting seriously concerned about our fundraising abilities.

No worries. I think the lead would have been Micky Neese receiving a $25 million gift. All good.

I'm sure RD will respond, but I remember either Fulks or maybe Williams friving to the basket, making a shift to the left in the lane, and the McNeese defender falling, clearly with no contact. Our player is going up for the layup a step after that.

Wait for Dave though, for the real story.

That is exactly what happened, the only reason that McNeese got possession of the missed basket was because the player hit the floor and the whistle immediately blew and our player stopped moving. Again, if the player does not flop it is either a made basket a foul or the two player fight for position and see who gets the rebound. Once the whistle blew and the McNeese player hit the ground for no reason it changed the complexion of what was going to happen.

McNeese benefited from the call more than we benefited from it. It doesn't make any sense. I agree it should either be a two shot technical and possession back to the defensive team or 1 shot Technical and possession back to the offense.

Anything else is just not going to change a team from choosing to flop. Okay let me get this right, I flop you get 1 point and I have the immediate chance to get 2 or 3 points on the next possession. Win for the floppers.

That’s exactly what happened. What I’m saying is the reason mcneese retained possession is because the flop was called on the missed shot that they rebounded. I don’t agree with it.

I thought the flop occurred while our guy was moving to his left. That happened before the shot. The play shouldn't have counted and there shouldn't have been a rebound. I had turned off the sound at that point so I really didn't know what was going on. Just new the commentators we're bad so I wasn't gonna listen to there hot takes anyways

So I immediately knew what happened but the bozo's doing the commentating were lost. They kept saying, I am not sure what the call is or what is going on. Anyone with half a brain could see what the call was. The flop did occur before the shot, that is why I could not understand how McNeese got the ball back. I am not blaming McNeese or even the refs for this. I am more concerned that this is a rule that the NCAA needs to address and correct in the future.

Our 4-4 FBS team playing the best team in our division with $10 tickets drew 7,888 fans. A week earlier McNeese put 8,068 in their stadium to see their 1-6 Cowboys. The day of our 7,888 we outsold 1-7 “little brother” by a whopping 350 tickets.

Who cares if their venue only seats 4K? How many times in the last few years would we really have needed more seats than that? As for their students and the crowd tonight, they were 3-7 coming in, and their semester is over just like ours. Did you notice our last couple crowds and student crowds? All the status and resources in the world won’t get us far with the way we operate.

Excellent post.

Does anybody know why Isiah Richards did not play?

I am worried about the answer.
