He's here now and he isn't going anywhere until he wants to retire. Time to sit back and smell the roses.

Can Billionaire Backer Mike Repole Buy St. John’s a Basketball Championship?
Mike Repole, who loved the homegrown team of his youth, has helped assemble a juggernaut enabled by compensation rules that one critic says created “the wild West.”
There was no NIL 6 years ago, so doing what he’s done in 2 years would be impossible. Take Kadary off this team and it’s a very different team. Likely not BE champs.

Without reading the article, why is everything in sports fine until a team I support starts doing it? Steve Cohen starts going all-in for his team, then it’s a problem? NIL is normal in college basketball, but once St. John’s starts thriving behind it, then it’s a problem? The Devils won 3 Cups playing a 1-2-2 trap and when the Islanders started playing Barry Trotz defensive styled hockey, then it’s boring? I won’t even get on how much the media hates Tottenham.Typical snarky NYT.

How is it national media and a lot of opposing fans hate my loser teams? Shouldn’t they love how much they lose, traditionally?
Honestly it makes me enjoy it more because I think this is literally the most perfect time for him to be here and for our program long-term.
If you read this without any knowledge of college basketball, you'd have no idea that guys were getting paid under the table this entire time + that the same programs didn't win year after year before this. Ridiculous framing.Typical snarky NYT.

Pitino's past made St. John's revival inevitable
"(Insert name) brings with him an incredible coaching pedigree and is exactly the type of person who will turn this program back into the championship-caliber one we expect here at (insert school)."Some form of that statement has become the template for any athletic director who has hired a new...
