I apologize for ruining a perfectly good Friday, but Emmert got over $4M in severance for helping to destroy the future of the NCAA. Just absurd.

Marquette commit Sheek Pearson (6’11 | PF) DUNKS EVERYTHING! 😤 The Top-50 national recruit averaged 12.3 PPG & 5.6 RPG in @BradBealElite’s Peach Jam Championship run. #mubb @Sheek_Pearson 🎥 via @athleteaiapp
We don't yet know what Kyle Neptune made last season, let alone what Willard will make this season (though he was getting $4M+ at Maryland), but seeing Villanova's coaching payouts laid out like this makes it even more baffling they went with Neptune.

Let's get to know Freshman 6-6" SF Michael Phillips #mubb 247sports.com/college/marque…
Former Marquette teammates and All-Americans Tyler Kolek and Kam Jones went head-to-head today in NBA Summer League action. Jones and the Pacers came out on top vs. Kolek and the Knicks. Jones: 21 PTS, 3 REB, & 11 AST Kolek: 14 PTS, 2 REB, & 5 AST Bright futures ahead for both
The best part about the interactive salary dashboard in the link, you can see the salary a bunch of different ways. So if you were wondering which Big East coaches have made the most money since 2018, you could see Patrick Ewing beat out Jay Wright at something.

In 2011, the NBA TV rights cost about $925M a year, compared to $771M for the NCAA tournament. In 2021, the NBA TV rights cost about $2,700M a year compared to $771M for the NCAA tournament. I would fight back pretty hard at any argument made that it saw "solid increases."
@MikeOzanian The step-up in March Madness TV rights has leveled off but has seen solid increases the past two rounds.
Oso once more making a big look like a statue going left. Put up 18/9 with 3 steals and 2 blocks today and is looking like a vet out there. #mubb
OSO WITH THE LEFT 💥
#mubb
HIS DUNKS EVEN HAD THE COLLEGE COACHES HYPE 😮💨🔥 @NikeEYB @BradBealElite @Sheek_Pearson
The dunk is filthy, but being able to get that much separation off the dribble (with his off hand) is special. #mubb
OSO IGHODARO GOT UP 🤯 #NBA2KSummerLeague on ESPN
Shouts to AE for putting together the #mubb players participating in NBA Summer League as well as their team schedules. anonymouseagle.com/2025/7/10/2446…

Wow! Good for this kid, outstanding
Pacers signed 38th pick Kam Jones to a 4-year, $8.7M deal, sources told @hoopshype. The first year is fully guaranteed. Half his second-year salary is guaranteed. There’s a third-year trigger date and fourth-year team option. He was a unanimous All-Big East First Team selection.
Take my money. I'm so excited for this
I’m thrilled to announce a new college basketball outlet called Basket Under Review. New podcasts, shows and written content coming July 14. Follow along here: @basket_review
With rebounding being a recurring area of concern for #mubb Zaide's ability to end possessions on the defensive end with a board is going to be crucial.
Marquette's Zaide Lowery (@LoweryZaide) is a junior leap candidate in the Big East. Averaged 6 PTS & 4 REB on 50/52/100 shooting splits over MU's final 12 regular season games—versatile defender with strong rebounding instincts and positional feel. Somebody to monitor in 2025-26
Tyler Kolek (in person) and Oso Ighodaro (from China) taking time to send Kam Jones love is a reminder the relationships portion of Shaka's RGV #mubb mantra isn't just a token word.
