Kentucky’s men’s 🏀 payroll this year is around $22M, the highest in college basketball.

That’s up from around $4M in Calipari’s last season at UK and close to $10M last year.

Top players nationally are making up to $5M.

They are certainly being paid for their 🏀 services. https://t.co/44KAfqRVhh pic.twitter.com/zvsUuGXaQh

How high will it go?

Absolutely disgusting.

This bubble is going to burst. But the disparities will still remain.

The ludicrous gets even more ludicrous.

Two former players in the G-Leaue - PROFESSIONALS, mind you -- have been given approvals to play college ball, one at Santa Clara and one at Louisville.

The decision makers at the NCAA are so afraid of getting sued that their destruction of amateurism in college sports continues. What's next? Allowing former NBA players to play college sports?

With Lamar parting ways with Alvin Brooks, we have confirmed that Lamar bought Brooks out.

We have also heard that Lamar will have a 1 Million NIL budget for next season.

Easily a Top 4 job in the Southland#TheCarousel

— Coaching Carousel (@TheCoachCaro) March 3, 2026

The biggest problem with Lamar the last two decades is that it is a top 4 job in the Southland - specifically #4. There's obviously worse jobs, but they have been in a rut where they're not bad enough to overhaul the program or good enough to justify spending more. I thought Brooks did more to change the culture than his predecessor, but it's not an enviable job to take regarding future success right now.

The 2026 College Basketball Invitational (CBI) has been cancelled. This leaves only the NCAA, NIT, and something called the College Basketball Crown as the only remaining postseason D-I tournaments.

"Fee comes to the Golden Triangle from Boca Raton, Fla., where he spent the past two seasons as an assistant at Florida Atlantic, including this past year where he was promoted to associate head coach, helping lead the Owls to 36 wins and a 2025 postseason berth."

I agree, like Coach Braeuer he is considered a rising star.

Well it finally happened, an 8 seed went 4 for 4 in four days.

.@PVAMUPanthers going dancing, shocking @theswac by winning the tournament as the 8 seed..beating Southern in the title game. Per ESPN it’s the 1st time a team has won 4 games in 4 days as the 8 seed in the SWAC tournament. Prairie View A&M in the NCAA Tournament for the 3rd time pic.twitter.com/Wwa6yiJHlO

Projections have McNeese playing Texas Tech, that would have been cool to see the student versus the teacher matchup with SFA and Texas Tech.
