B10 media days are October 2nd.....and I heard/read something about practice starting in that same time frame....anybody know exactly when that will be?
 
Iowa media day is later next week so practice probably starts wed or thurs.

In other news I see that the PSU transfer to ISU got immediate eligibility.
I know that we benefitted on Oliver Martin case but it seems the waivers are now the norm not the exception.
Huge break for ISU bb...he is a very good shooter which is a big need for them.
 
42 days before their first regular season game.

So, the first regular season game is 11/08......and 42 days prior to that is September 28? My calculations could be off, but that would mean that practice starts this Saturday.

Let's get this party started!

I thought that was a possibility as well.....one day sooner is all the better!
 
Yeah, should be Friday, 9/27, since the first game is Friday, 11/8.

Michigan and Michigan State open the season on 11/5 and started practice yesterday, 9/24.

That’s nice timing having both Andre Jackson and Jamari Sibley visiting on the first official day of practice!

The Iowa is so bad at self promotion— who even cares??? No open practice, no Chris Ruth hype videos, no glances of the new guys— I just decided to quit giving them my money for season tickets. Will stick to watching Iowa wbb

Talked to a person that has some knowledge of the NCAA operations.

He thinks the NCAA are in a legal dilemma. They want to reduce transfer waivers because the waivers are swallowing the rule. They're afraid to start denying because a kid denied now can make an equal protection claim resulting in legal exposure.

I opined that a relatively narrow exception (HC fired, school death penalty) would end the problem. The response was the NCAA BoG thinks that would be viewed as unfair. I think that's nuts because the rule would apply to everyone and no discretion would obviate legal exposure.

Anyway, a little insight to pass along.

We are really bad at PR. Barta is a disaster at promoting Iowa. How could any Big Ten team not do some media blow out opening night. When they're done have a blow out party for the media that covers it live.

If you build it they really will come.
 
With the PR team mbb has— we will be lucky to know when the first game is!!!!!! They suck!!! No Chris Ruth hype videos, no open practice , no news on what the new guys are doIng
