Super donor Mike Repole talks St. John’s resurgence, NIL landscape: ‘Evolve or die’
America!Can't stand the guy but he's right.
So if we spend more $ next year, we have to win a NCAA game for it to be money well spent? Getting huge crowds, coverage, some level of success on the court and the like wouldn't be worth it?Let's see if it's money we'll spent with a one and done tournament..
Based on what they are boasting and spending yes. I'm talking about them not us.So if we spend more $ next year, we have to win a NCAA game for it to be money well spent? Getting huge crowds, coverage, some level of success on the court and the like wouldn't be worth it?
Of course they will. It happened last year. And back when teams were paying kids under the table -- as we were, and everyone else was -- you saw plenty of situations in which mid-majors upset high majors. Other high majors with less resources upset high majors with more resources. It's an absolutely wild take but par for the course.If we are getting 8-10 k in the stands but lose in the 2nd round I can accept that. If we get that many people it usually means aw are playing well. I bet one of theee big time program with all the money will lose in the first or 2nd round this year.

We've already established that going one and done in the NCAA isn't enough here. Two of our last three coaches left after an NCAA season and few lamented their departures.Based on what they are boasting and spending yes. I'm talking about them not us.
Goes back to Louis Orr RIPWe've already established that going one and done in the NCAA isn't enough here. Two of our last three coaches left after an NCAA season and few lamented their departures.
The last guy made five of six (six of seven) tournaments but only won one game so that was deemed to be his ceiling.
If Sha gets to the point where we're making NCAAs most year but he isn't winning games, the same issues will eventually crop up.
Yes. But with most of those teams it wasn’t’ considered an outright failure or all for naught It depended on the year but most of the time I think 65-75% of the board was happy with making the dance and the rest so long as we won a game. Only 19-20 was probably different because of expectations and what we had with that group.We've already established that going one and done in the NCAA isn't enough here.
