Re: Payments to College Athletes

Turnpikeunited.com says, "Turnpike United is not affiliated with the Hofstra University in any way."

And I have never seen anything in writing from the University where Hofstra endorses this organization.

But other than that, seems as legit as Bernie Madoff. Where do I sign?

Re: Payments to College Athletes

Personally, I think you're an idiot if you give to this. Let's start with this...who is auditing their books?

Re: Hofstra Lacrosse 2024

The fact that none of the top 100 LI players are coming here implies they don't want to play for Tierney and the losing culture he has created. It's squarely on him.

Re: NCAA 2024 MBB Transfer Portal

This is not cool. The NCAA represents all member schools, not just the P5. Is this what they are trying to foster? Nearly 75% turnover on teams? This is good for student athletes? It's malpractice!

Re: Turnpike United - Hofstra's NIL Collective

I would feel a whole lot better about it if Hofstra actually made a statement endorsing it. (Like Pitino/SJU did for their version)

Re: Turnpike United - Hofstra's NIL Collective

Not affiliated with Hofstra University. The site is very sparse on details about who is behind this and where the money goes. Who is accountable for oversight? I'd be wary about forking over cash without an explicit endorsement from someone within the Athletics Department. Too many scams out there. ...

Re: MBB Game 31 @Charleston, March 2 (Sat), 2 PM

Carlos gets the ball bounced off his head when he drives to the basket. He is short and cannot jump. He will occasionally go baseline to baseline, then pull back. He really needs to have literally no one on him to shoot a layup. There have been times when teams play off him and he does drive, just t...

Re: Newsday Coverage or Lack Of

If Hofstra promoted the game on their own Twitter account, that's pretty useless. They need to do a little research and target social media where they can effectively reach potential customers. And Newsday is probably not reaching the desired demographic.

Re: Newsday Coverage or Lack Of

Why do we care so much about Newsday? Most of the people who still read it have had their driving privileges taken away by their kids already. We need to be advertising on social media. For the past 2 weeks, whenever I open Facebook I get an ad for Princeton-Penn at the Palestra on March 8. We need...

Re: MBB Game 27 Northeastern, Feb. 17 (Sat), 2 PM

McKillop gets the credit for landing Curry, but a lot of the legwork was done by his assistant, Jim Fox, brother of Hofstra walk-on Jeff Fox. The Fox's are products of Levittown's St. Bernard CYO. Their father, Jim Sr., coached my brother in baseball and basketball, back in the day.

Re: Next Year's Team

The problem is the "one time transfer" rule. I thought the barrier of having to sit out a year was reasonable. Now it's de facto free agency, and the schools that go through the cost of recruiting and developing players are the losers.

Re: MBB Game 22 Stony Brook, Feb. 1 (Thu), 7 PM

They may not want to spend money on this but just a thought, especially since they're conference rivals now: I normally don't like when teams stray from their traditional team colors and designs with uniforms except when there may be a reason to, so what about special uniforms (maybe not every year...
