This does not exist. You merely make this up that there are those (on this board at least) who celebrate this. It might be mentioned as a stat, and we might even say it is better than sucking. However, I don't think anyone views this as having arrived where we need to be as a program. This is where I think you put some of those words in people's mouths. We probably put words in your mouths that might not be fair too.

I think Towson should do another Zoom meeting about NIL for football and basketball to explain about giving to NIL. What it means and what's the difference between giving to TAF (Tiger Athletic Fund) and the TU Collective for NIL. From my understanding, these sponsors are mainly about giving these kids their products. There is not a ton of $$$ involved, but I don't know the exact details. In other words, we have to, for the current coach and future coach, to buck up and make payments towards NIL. I'm not saying pay something that you can't afford. I give a monthly/yearly fee in NIL for both sports because I want to do and I feel if I'm going to talk the talk, I better walk the walk. My understanding is that not everyone is on board with paying student-athletes. That's not even an assumption. It's the truth and I get it, but it's an arms race. If the few wealthy donors we have and the rest who can afford a modest amount, are not willing to give a nice sum for NIL, we're going to miss out on key transfers and will end up with the "meh" players we've added over the last two seasons (Jones, Tarke, Sulaiman, Sylla, Russell). I think what we have available is good enough to retain most of our young returners. https://towsontigers.com/feature/TowsonNIL?path=nil https://gohcollective.com/ https://gohcollective.doubleknot.com/registration/donate.aspx?activitykey=2973795

UConn likely returns the core of Clingan, Castle, Karaban & Johnson plus have a bunch of current freshman and sophomores. Add more shooters and make a run at a 3 peat which we haven’t seen in 50+ years. Towson should fire Pat now and hire Luke Murray ASAP but of course won’t happen.

I’m getting stoked for football season. Trying to not drink my own kool-aid but can’t help but feel like Towson football is going to take a major step forward this season (regardless of what happens in Cincinnati).

38-16 is equal to the Orioles dominating Spring Training....just something meaningless to talk about

Pray we didn’t lose a possible recruit because of this natural disaster!

East Coast Earthquakes- 2 Number of Times Towson has been to the NCAA Tournament Since 1991- 0 Sorry couldn't resist the low hanging fruit. Bay Area Tiger we just sampled a small taste of the California life.

Will get to a Panthers game this summer to support Simpson who played for Towson State 🫣

Finally ranked https://x.com/towson_mlax/status/1774825791932797041?s=46&t=nScacl1TWT-KyOwj5stBaw

If you really think that I am not sure why you watch any of the games until the conference tournament. That is 22 games over .500 in 54 conference games (70.3 wining %), which is over half (53.5% to be exact) the games we have played the last three years. I know it is not really a great version of the conference, but it is the one we compete in every year. I don't say this to stick up for Skerry or try to give us moral victories. I say it because wining in conference play in the regular season is part of the equation for being a good program. I think it is noteworthy. Not making an NCAA Tournament or having any significant non-conference wins are other parts of the equation, but you can't just ignore the fact that of all the good teams in our conference we are within three games of having the best record the last three years, and are one of only three teams to have finished first or had a share of first in one of those years. If we hired a new coach would you want them to do well in conference play, or does it just not matter at all to you? I know the NCAA Tournament is what matters most, and that is true for everyone here. However, there are other aspects to being a good program. You can say this coach hasn't done enough to lean on those numbers and that is fine, but having a 70% winning percentage in conference games, which are the most important games we play outside of the conference tournament, does not equate to Spring Training.

Thurl Bailey and Lorenzo Charles played great games. And Wihittenberg and Lowe weren’t bad either. Survive & advance

James Scott left Charleston for Louisvillle, which means they are going to spend some of that 900 grand in the portal https://x.com/tiptonedits/status/1774469759184068745?s=46&t=nScacl1TWT-KyOwj5stBaw

Nilan played against Fairfield and wasn't very good in the pouring rain. Probably not fair for his first start. Downs struggled against Drexel and then got injured. But he was fine today. Did make the big save at the end when his defense and some awful last-minute penalties nearly sent the game to OT.

I thought Downs played well for the most part. The offense and decision making by the players down the stretch were lacking.

Agree. I’m not advocating for fully playing the way Alabama and Charleston play but watching that game and last nights Bama Unc game, the offense is quick and free flowing. Such a breathe of fresh air from what we do. Of course it’s about the Jimmys and joes too, but should be able to play without running 22 seconds of clock before getting into our offense for an iffy look at best

Having the NIL all-stars won’t mean anything if they’re not developed correctly or toss up dud efforts. Supposed ‘meh’ players can be turned into all-conference players with the right development. We’ve failed with that.

Sorry. 😂😂😂

The Towson 9 hung on and got a win yesterday against GW!

Everyone on this board would sign up to have such a problem.

This 10000%. Vcu. Uncw. Charleston have this done. Coaches shouldn’t stay a mid major longer than 1.5 full recruiting classes
