Is there some sort of benefit of the faux home games vs Cal in San Jose & San Juan Capistrano? Confused as to why they haven't done a true home & home. Neutral site losses have less impact on a team's NET rankings rather then a possible loss while being the home team. Home and home's have a lot of risk to them now. |

Yes and they beat us in Viejas when we had the much better team. It was a bad loss plus I had to listen to incessant sh1t from a couple Cal friends for quite awhile. |

Remind your friends that yes, the Bears won that game, but Bears' fans didn't take over Viejas and completely embarrass our program like we did in 2010 when we took over Haas  |

correct CAL 's coach has added numerous players for their up coming season including the 5 from MSU Mady that vistited SDSU a couple of weeks ago
CAL is also a new ACC team as is Stanford if they are also added to the schedule
yes even a loss to Quality team on the road or Neutral site is worth a lot more then home wins against teams that are not rated - Dutcher knows this and has tried to get as many quality games as possible - that is the reason SDSU got the 5 seed last season

Yeah, we played really bad that day I remember. No chance Cal was better than us that year. We're 6-4 against them, so you still have bragging rights. |

Here ae some highlights of the Forbes April 8th article entitled, How The Vegas NIL Tournament Could Lead To A Breakaway Hoops League From The NCAA"...The proposed eight-team tournament will award each team $1 million in NIL money, with an additional $1 million guaranteed to the winner. When discussing the event at last month’s East Regional, Dutcher confirmed that the program has expressed interest in the tournament.
Away from the bright lights of the Power 5, programs such as San Diego State need to brainstorm creatively to lure the nation’s top recruits. An opportunity to generate additional NIL funding for his players should largely be viewed as beneficial for his program, Dutcher noted.“To stay relevant, we have to raise NIL money in order to stay competitive,” he emphasized.Dubbed the Player’s Era, the proposed event will be operated by EverWonder Studio and will be backed by RedBird IMI...The Vegas tournament could also serve as a harbinger for the entrance of private equity into college athletics. RedBird IMI is part-owned by U.S.-based RedBird Capital and majority-owned by Abu Dhabi's IMI - which is backed by the UAE'sUAE +0.6% deputy prime minister and Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Although the tournament could lead to increased NIL opportunities for the players, the long-term implications are still unknown. One possibility involves a breakaway league from the NCAA, which has the potential to revolutionize college sports as we know it.Beyond San Diego State, others such as Duke, Kansas, Alabama, and Syracuse have been mentioned as potential entrants.The climate, he noted, has changed dramatically over the past three decades. Ultimately, Dutcher is focused on helping his players attain a modicum of success on and off the court.
“You try your best to give your guys an opportunity to make money playing basketball, but you have to do it the right way,” Dutcher said. “They're not all going to make a living playing pro basketball. Maybe as a young person you can't appreciate that as much, but our goal has to be to graduate players.”www.forbes.com/sites/mattrybaltowski/2024/04/08/will-vegas-nil-tourney-lead-to-breakaway-hoops-league-from-the-ncaa/?sh=7d1403cf69f4 |

It is set to be played in the MGM Arena in Las Vegas. The event is likely to be held on Thanksgiving weekend.EverWonder Studio and AND1 CEO Seth Berger will operate the event.
According to On3 sports, each team invited would get a $1 million guarantee in NIL money, which would be shared either with the school’s collective or NIL arm. The money would be shared with the players for that team.
The tournament’s winning team would get another $1 million in NIL funding.This isn’t the first time this has been done. Last year’s College Basketball Invitational offered NIL payouts to players — but not on this level.
For that reason, some of the sport’s best teams may be extended an invitation. On3 reported that Alabama, Duke, Florida Atlantic, Houston, Kansas, Oregon, Rutgers, San Diego State, St. John’s, Syracuse and Virginia are all on the list of potential participants.www.si.com/fannation/name-image-likeness/news/new-mens-college-basketball-event-to-offer-2-million-in-nil-deals-matt9#:~:text=The%20tournament%20is%20expected%20to,to%2016%20teams%20in%202025.&text=Front%20Office%20Sports%20reported%20the,be%20held%20on%20Thanksgiving%20weekend.

Thus far, 6 out of the potential 11 out-of-conference games appear to be tentatively set. These include 3 games in the LV NIL Tournament over Thanksgiving weekend, the conclusion of the Gonzaga Home & Home series, a buy game versus Cal Baptist, and a neutral game in San Jose against a rejuvenated CAL Berkeley team.
Up to five games are yet to be scheduled. Should the LV NIL Tournament be confirmed, our Strength of Schedule and presence in high-profile out-of-conference matchups would be favorable with the Tournament Committee. All we have to do is to win a handful of those games.
3 Games, November 2024
Proposed Thanksgiving weekend 2024 Las Vegas NIL Players Tournament - Alabama, Duke, Florida Atlantic, Houston, Kansas, Oregon, Rutgers, San Diego State, St. John’s, Syracuse, and Virginia are potential participants. Eight-team Tournament.

The Zags recently added another quality transfer K. Battle from the Razorbacks add him to the other Zags coming back and other transfers could easily make them a top 10 team in the 2024-25 season
they will be very experienced quality team and the home game for SDSU should be a very tough game

We're nowhere in sight there, or in Joey Brackets 5/2/24 too-early MM Bracket. A couple weeks ago, Boise St was listed as the MWC Automatic Qualifier and New Mexico was in there too, both as double-digit seeds. Now that the Lobos have lost Toppin, they're out too with Boise St being the only MWC team and as a #11 seed. How the mighty have fallen. We better beat some good teams in OOC or we may have to win the MWCT to get in with a whole lot of NET landmines on our conference schedule. |

Has the Lobo's Toppin officially transferred to another school ? you know they will gladly take him back
BSU has added a center / transfer from Arizona is he any good ?
SDSU has lost all its starters and a top reserve so is a reload to one of its least experienced teams -

Remind your friends that yes, the Bears won that game, but Bears' fans didn't take over Viejas and completely embarrass our program like we did in 2010 when we took over Haas I was at that game and it was awesome. Taking over Haas was an understatement! It felt like a home game on the road. It was a great experience….loved every second of it. And the on court domination was icing on the cake. |

Me and my pops were there as well, epic. Unfortunately the "Aztec fans just owned us in our own arena, EMBARASSING!" thread on the Bear's Lair board is no longer there - was always fun to revisit |

If the nil rumor with us being in a pod with Creighton/A&M/Oregon
Here are the current ranks by bartorvik in ooc schedule so far, I do not at all say this is a be it all but a nice idea of fair baseline to have:
4. Gonzaga at home
6. Creighton neutral
25. Texas A&M neutral
46. Oregon neutral
78. Cal neutral
142. Cal Baptist at home
This is a very strong start to the ooc schedule
