    If he really wants a natty we should offer him a rowing scholarship

    I think we need to redraw the “Most Popular Poster” bracket. Bread’s taking P.E.D’s or something.

    Agree this seems like a desperate move to stay in the game the way it did for Washington when they did it. Kind of surprised Altman went with it and always assumed he wouldn't since he runs a pretty legit ship down there as far actually knowing how to coach and run a college basketball program.

    There's zero downside to this from a basketball perspective. A football player can only take a football scholarship. What's JTT's basketball recruiting ranking? Is he a 4-star? Let's say he's "just" a 3-star. That's still somebody with D1 potential. And the basketball coach would get him for free. Even if he's not good enough to play in games that aren't well decided, what coach doesn't want a guy that physical under the rim in practice to teach his bigs not to be pussies?
