How is the effort going on this? Roger Wyland speculated that likely the NIL money helped Marcus Jackson make his decision easier. All this talk about a big announcement has me wondering if the concerns a major donation towards a NIL fund.

Nothing to prove here, just a reflection on the reality of the length of your list...lol

Sometimes the act of acknowledgement is important, Marcus Filien received that acknowledgement during the season. Perhaps, an athletic scholarship from UAlbany meant little however, the change of scenery and opportunity meant more. If there was a transfer portal for fans, I probably give strong consideration.

At a time that I am at a crossroads with my sports relationship with UAlbany, both in game attendance and financial support, I cannot imagine what could be worthy of keeping under wraps. So, forgive me for a healthy dose of skepticism about this potential bombshell announcement, which make this area truly Great Dane Nation.

LOL, why would he enter the transfer portal as his came to UAlbany under an Empire Scholarship. Further, he was deemed a walk-on, which did not change in his sophomore year, something that Killing never addressed and which I strongly believe meant something to Marcus.

As I pointed in a recent posting, we gotten the best of Siena teams this season and Siena's seemingly singular focus of their sports program. Can you blame Marcus for leaving UAlbany for the athletic scholarship that never came his way at UAlbany. I bet some N-I-L money will come his way too. Yes, Marcus will now have to prove himself or he will likely be looking for a new team a year from now, but Coach McNamara must have saw something in him.

Your list is getting long....

After three years, all we have seen from Dwayne Killings is three losing seasons, players coming and going with one of our players leaving for Siena (a few people are chuckling at Siena this evening) and no immediate hopes or prospects of being a top 4 America East team. We will have a team of one-year wonders in 2024-2025, like in wondering why they came to UAlbany.

During the Thompson years, as I recall from reports, the Drexal players committed similar actions. However, we continue to play the Drexal Dragons.

Haudenosaunee Nationals have posted a statement about the incident via a posting on their Instagram account.

The game announcer acknowledged the UAlbany contingent and their ability to make themselves heard. Shout out to the moms, dads and families of UAlbany MLAX.

Huge skirmish at end of the game last year .... involved University Police, refs, coaches and I believe Vic got involved. So no surprise to me yesterday,

No, more like he did not want to be last person leaving Broadview Center and responsible for turning off the lights. Perhaps some good friends, more likely for family.

Where is the thread for today's game? LOL, place is falling apart. Time to raise some money for a full-time thread starter.

The above action plan is a great; however, did you flip the coin to see what was on the other side or think about how this would affect other programs in place to raise money just to support day to day operations? This seems to be our operating mode. I have stated in the past the names of potential people to lead campaigns however, I am of the opinion there is no one who will put their face to a NIL campaign under our current circumstances, in particular with MBB. The only way is to bring in MBB, WBB and/or Football coach who is attached with a big money donor or aka the $iena way.
