Sure. But there isn’t a ton of value in carefully parsing whether Morgan State really deserves to be a D1 team or if Hawaii Pacific is good enough to be included even though its not D1. Its a lot of work and all you’d get for your trouble is a gigantic political battle over the teams threatened with effective relegation.

Maybe I missed it in all the Rutgers talk the other day, but were y’all aware they play at Jersey Mike’s Arena?

Currently up by 11 at half to Rider.

The RAC was a solid name, and some still call it that, but Jersey Mike’s is a good enough replacement.

I was actually gonna suggest ā€œRutgers, brought to you by Jersey Mike’sā€ when we were discussing name changes.

I find Rutgers bewildering. They get two lottery picks to come there but then can’t surround them with enough other talent, and then just go back to being a normal mediocre power conference team?

VMI’s lawyers (VMI wasn’t represented by the Commonwealth because the AG at the time — Mary Sue Terry — disagreed with the VMI position so they retained outside counsel — Bob Patterson and Anne Marie Wittemore at McGuireWoods) in the 1990s tried to use an MUW ruling decades before to show that its VWIL program at Mary Baldwin was equal.

The team with those top 3 tempo games is IU Indy, who got a new head coach this year. If you remember that article last season about the guy at Nova Southeastern with the madcap style, the new coach is someone from his coaching tree:
