MBB: Midwest Conference

[The Roop]

How the MWC does it is very simple and rather clever. They backload player contracts so that the signing bonuses hit in the 5th year of eligibility. Since you rarely if ever see any redshirting in the MWC, the monies paid in that 5th year are considered off budget because the player has graduated. So it only counts against the cap if a player actually uses his 5th year.

gobucs-

great to meet you and Danny this afternoon! always a pleasure to have D3hoops visitors-especially one who are willing to actually PAY for Roopacinnos! I know, I know...I wouldn't actually LET you, but the $65 Dollar pricetag we have to put on 'em makes 'em a bit out of range for a family sending a kid on to med school.

Best of luck to you, Sir!

Gobucs, we will look forward to seeing you many times over the next 4 years as you make the trip to DSM!

Well, we're home, with an apartment rented, right across the street from campus, and a new bike courtesy the bike shop next to Saint's Rest......Thank you again JeffP for the hospitality and I plan on making many future stops when passing through.....Thanks for sparing us the $65 price tag for the Roopachinno, but it would've been worth it......LOL....

Seems as if Jeffp has taken over the Grinnell Chamber of Commerce... even making sales for the city's best businessman.

lol... this is turning into the "board of tall tales" from it's former category of the "board of haikus"

hmm... maybe the real question is... can we do both at the same time?

jeffp = C of C.
Could Grinn City survive the
absence of Saint's Rest?

Who is this Grotberg?
Lasers for eyes; can fly too
He might be a god.

[diehardfan]

There we go, karma for both of you. 

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

The Roop gets jealous
Of Grotberg talk; guess we must
Deify him too.

[The Roop]

Grizzly Bear story
fan of hoops it was told by
deified The Roop

[matblake]

White Castle again
food eaten not digested
late night heartburn lives

[proudofLU]

that's the worst haiku I've ever read 

Irony defined
Is a haiku written for
One sans LU love

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

This year Lawrence will
wish they had a player to
replace the Bopper

[proudofLU]

Bopper is now gone
Tharp will craft a revised plan
To win conference

Gillespie will moan
His talented team beaten
By Vikings again 8)

While Schultz rides the refs
LU will open a lead
Tourney at Alex
