That was horrific….

What happens next?

By Zack Cziryak

TROVE: John, thanks so much for joining us again this summer. You have been an MC/attended various Onward Setonia fundraising events. What do you feel has gone well at these events? Also, what do you feel needs to be improved upon to get more alumni involved?

FANTA: "I think that Onward Setonia has risen tremendously over the last year. I think that the growth of what Seton Hall is doing with NIL has been good over the last 12 months and I give Mike McBride, Michael Frungillo, and Mike Walsh a lot of credit for what they're doing. But we still have a lot to do and there's still things that have to be done. And I also want to say, in addition to Mike McBride, Michael Frungillo and Mike Walsh, I want to give Jim O'Brien credit for what he's doing as well in the NIL space. I think that there are people that have really stepped up to the plate in the last year and they realize that this is what college basketball is about right now. And either you're going to adapt and understand that's how you put together a competent Big East roster or you choose not to.

What I will say is this: folks who are considering whether or not to give or whether or not to get into the NIL space, there's never going to be a better time to do it and there's never going to be a better coach of the program to do it for. Shaheen Holloway is one of Seton Hall's own, and there's nobody with greater pride for the place than Sha. There's nobody that wants to win championships more at Seton Hall than Sha. There's nobody that wants to win the Big East more. There's nobody that wants to lead this program to a March Madness run more than Shaheen Holloway. And so for the people who might be questioning or thinking, ‘how do I do this,’ look: the student athletes deserve to get payment. They deserve to get paid, but you talk to any coach and they'll tell you right now life is difficult, it's complicated. So it's something that is complicated because you can't just choose not to champion NIL or not to propel NIL. Does it need fixing? Absolutely it needs some adjustment. But right now it's about being able to raise money.

And in terms of the Onward Setonia fundraising events, I was just part of a boat event last month. We had a great time. Coach [Sha] came on the boat, we did a Q&A at PJ Clarke's in New York City, and then we took the boat back. It was an awesome afternoon with terrific people and we talked Seton Hall basketball all afternoon and Coach Holloway could not have been more gracious with the people and his time. These events are exclusive events and there are more in the works. They provide a great way to interact with Coach and obviously when the student athletes are around to interact with the players. I think that the events themselves have been great. I think the way that we continue to build out these events is just to continue to find more and more people that are willing to hop aboard the ship, that are willing to hop aboard this wagon because there's no better time than the present. There's nothing that needs to be improved with the events themselves. I just think that it's our alumni base. I mean, I'm an alum and I care about this place. I care about Seton Hall as much as Coach Holloway does, as much as any passionate Pirate fan does. I do. I call games for Fox Sports and other entities so I have to take off that cap that wants the Pirates to do well when I'm calling a game and I have to balance that. But I've got a great amount of love and passion for the university, and I understand that right now these are dire times to be able to find NIL money.

What do I feel needs to be improved? Well, we just have to continue to get the message out. Every dollar counts. I'm a younger alum. I give what I can. I would encourage other young alums, whether you're for NIL or against it, do it for Coach Holloway. Do it for the men that represent this university. Do it because look what happened this past year - an NIT championship. That's worth celebrating. If we could win an NIT championship when our NIL is at this stage, think of what could happen when we get this NIL increased. We need all the help. There's no bad dollar. Every dollar counts and every effort counts in this. That would be my message with where we're at. I just think that for the future no idea is a bad idea right now. We're in an idea stage because that next idea could be the next great concept for us to take off and for us to find a differentiator...there's no bad ideas, and we need all the help that we can get right now. We need Seton Hall Nation, the Seton Hall community, to get behind this team and get behind the women's team because there's no time like the present and we have two great coaches in Shaheen Holloway and Tony Bozzella, who are winners.”

I haven’t seen anything, anywhere, promoting this campaign since it was first announced. A seven figure gift was given to our baseball team and the same individuals put forth a challenge to add another half million to that total through a match, $250,000 donated will be matched dollar for dollar to bring that total to $500,000. Everyone here complains about how our baseball team underperforms and here is an opportunity to do something about it!

Let’s support all of our Pirates and help them get the types of results we all want to see! I think a minimum of $1.5 million could really go a long way in helping Coach Sheppard!

Let’s hope the Athletic Department starts promoting this campaign as well!

11. Stubblefield/Brady
The best I can say is two nail biters against Cooley

TROVE: My goodness John, try to fit some sleep in there. You’ve given plenty of notes to the fan base, in this interview, but any final parting shots for Seton Hall fans that you wanted to slip in?

FANTA: “Hey, Seton Hall fans, now is the time for everybody in this community to get behind our men's and women's basketball programs. You can see the results. We celebrate with a banner here to end the men's season. And with the women's program, Tony has made them a consistent, winning team. The point is, look at the success levels of both programs - there's much more on the horizon. And to the Seton Hall community, we know that the current climate of college basketball is chaotic. But what you can count on is elite coaching. With the addition of this practice facility, it's a first-class facility. And now it's about doing our part as much as possible to help winning. It's an all hands on deck approach. We need everybody. But if you're not willing to get on board right now, when is there going to be a better time? I'd argue that there's no better time than right now. Shaheen Holloway is as great as any coach in the country, and that is not cliche it is the damn truth. And it's time to back him as much as humanly possible."

​

The headline event every July is the Nike Peach Jam in North Augusta, South Carolina. It features the best Nike grassroots teams, and this year it will span the first two live periods.

Let this sink in….again

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/com...it-filed-by-fired-twitter-workers/ar-BB1pLMQq

The NCAA men's basketball committee — a group of 12 Division I athletic directors and commissioners, the same people who determine the bracket for each season's NCAA Tournament — are meeting this week in Park City, Utah, along with select NCAA staff to address a variety of items pertaining to March Madness.

The biggest topic on the agenda is also the most polarizing: potential tournament expansion.

While there is no guarantee a decision on expansion will be made this week, it will be the most consequential talking point. This plot will advance again, as it did a few weeks ago. The selection committee's annual summer summit comes 19 days removed from NCAA senior vice president of basketball Dan Gavitt flying to Florida to speak at a different convocation — the Conference Commissioners Association's meetings — to brief college sports' heads of state on where things stands with potential expansion. We now know the NCAA is considering three options:

1. Keep the field at 68 teams
2. Increase the bracket to 72
3. Inflate to 76

"There certainly was conversation about expansion but it was a clear that no expansion on the table, too," said one source who heard Gavitt speak in June. "It's not like this was presented as a guaranteed thing."

If you've forgotten why tournament expansion is even a topic — other than typical sports greed — we reached this point due to the existence of the NCAA Division I Transformation Committee, a venture created in 2021 by former NCAA president Mark Emmert in the wake of the NCAA losing in the NCAA v. Alston case in the Supreme Court 9-0. In 2022, the committee recommended every D-I sport with at least 200 teams explore whether to expand its championship tournament event, and if so, to put a cap on expansion at 25% of a sport's population. For men's college basketball, that would have meant a maximum of 90 teams. But 90 was never on the table, and we now know nothing beyond 76 is.

It should be noted that the committee was in this spot a year ago, when it discussed expansion at its summer summit.

"The committee must be good stewards for the Division I Men's Basketball Championship," Gavitt said in July 2023. "They are committed to doing their due diligence looking at a few different models to make an informed decision that's in the best interests of the championship, and that may very well include deciding against expansion."

The best interests of the championship is the key phrase there, and one that's been at the forefront of this issue since 2022.

Critically, the NCAA is not moving when the tournament is staged. It will continue to hold the Final Four on the men's and women's side the weekend before The Masters. And conference championship week isn't moving either. March Madness will remain in the same three-week window we've had for decades.

So, as we wait to learn what the committee decides to do, it's time for a reminder about why NCAA Tournament expansion is not only undesirable, it's also wholly unnecessary. Here are five big reasons why.

Remember when weeks back I posted the usa named 12 may not be the 12 to Paris...well Leonard out and derrick white in

Recent survey indicated 80% of Americans are in favor of voter ID requirement .Democrats claim it places too much of a burden on too many people.Reality is they assume any voting by aliens or individuals not voting in the right district will be to their advantage.They say this requirement is racist assuming people without ID’s are primary blacks which in itself is racist.So voting not as important as driving,flying,passports,medical surgery etc.Good to know .

STORRS, Conn. -- Even with a deal that would make him one of the highest-paid college basketball coaches in the country, UConn's Dan Hurley never let his thoughts stray far from what got him to the top of the men's college basketball world.

About a month after declining to become the head coach of the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers, Hurley agreed to a six-year, $50 million contract through the 2029-30 season. He will receive $6.375 million next season in addition to his $400,000 base annual salary.

"It is not something I obsess over," Hurley said Tuesday. "If anything, I dragged my feet because I didn't want to look it over or read it or deal with it. We have been so focused on the basketball part but it is nice that it is over."

Keeping his assistant coaches on the staff and dealing with the current aspects of college sports were a part of the new contract signed by the 51-year-old Hurley.

Hurley knows Tom Moore, Luke Murray and Kimani Young are as responsible for UConn winning back-to-back national titles as he is.

"It is hard to put together a staff because there aren't a lot of people who can work for me, just the intensity of how we go about our business and the way we run our program, it is a different intensity level," Hurley said. "I am tough on the people who play for me and work for me, I am demanding so it is always hard for me to find people to hire."

Hurley was quick to credit David Benedict, UConn's athletics director, for taking care of things as he has done since hiring Hurley.

"Dave is as responsible as any of us for where we are at," Hurley said. "DB has been a good partner. We have had these conversations about the changing landscape of college basketball, the revenue sharing that is coming down the road here, the TV deals, and being able to take advantage and maximize our brand. Our brand is at the pinnacle of college basketball and our basketball excellence is here on both sides, how do we take advantage of that to the utmost so we don't fall behind.

"You want to stay so focused on your work that you can continue to accomplish more and more in your career. He has always gotten it done.

"He has provided us with the resources and does what we need to do to give us the resources to compete at the top."

UConn had four starters selected in the recent NBA draft, with Alex Karaban the only returning starter for the Huskies.

Hurley said freshman Liam McNeeley, who is currently dealing with an ankle injury, is "as ready as any freshman who has come in."

Hurley believes he has a roster that can compete for a third straight national title.

"We are at a similar talent level of what the group (from last season) looked like," Hurley said. "You can see some real potential there."

I was convinced Tyrese Haliburton was going to be a star.

I was surprised that Billy Owens did not make it.
