    If fans stopped spending money, absolutely they would care. That just isn't happening though.

    No he hasn't. Every single time he's moved it's because his coach has left.

    Curious, without literally knowing anything that went into his decision, how you could possibly comes to this conclusion about Conwell?

    Reading between the lines in that interview, it seemed pretty clear players aren't likely to get what some of these reports are suggesting.
    Not in a good way for who?

    In the Grammer interview, he made the comment that Dent should make sure he's going to get what is promised. I took it as warning that not everyone is getting the payouts they were promised when they transfer.

    I'm happy players are being compensated after years of seeing the value of their labor go elsewhere -- but there isn't a sport on the planet that operates successfully with this level of turnover every single season.

    At some point, sanity is going to need to prevail.

    Its an opinion.....what I do know is that he's liked at Xavier and would be a cornerstone for the team next year. Sure, no idea what Pitino thinks but would be shocked if that isn't the case.

    This is pretty amazing and reason number 1 the old coaches can miss me with their whining about players transferring. Every year Conwell has played his coach has left after the season.

    That doesn't change the fact that he's in a great spot with us. He must think his value is higher somewhere else.
