The UT Men's Basketball Twitter Page is tweeting that there will be a big announcement made on Thursday describing it as "a game changer for our program and student-athletes!" Any speculation on what that "game changing" news could be?

Didn't the last big news game changer turn out to be a guy who was going to advise athletes on marketing themselves?

Now, if someone is going to donate $50 million, I'll listen.

season ticket discounts?

We've found better gamblers to get involved with?

Sorry, but I refuse to get sucked into some more hype after the last time we were promised Big News!!

Season is cancelled, changing the game for our student athletes?

This is structured in the same way when the football program announced their "big" news, only for it to be announced some random guy was helping the players build their professional brand. I'd certainly go a different way of marketing this type of news, as it only gets the fans hopes up for some type of renovation, just to be let down by minimal news.

Obviously it’s about branding since a twitter branding tag is attached to the Toledo basketball tweet.

More crap. Nothing is about the game anymore.

Go Rockets!

Probably the same branding deal they did for football

did they announce the new semi trailer decals yet?

Probably the flat screens on the busses have been upgraded from 720 to 1040 HD quality...

Playing on donkeys for social distancing?

Fall Basketball!

This is clearly just MBB making a separate announcement about the Darlow branding deal. FB announced that in early July. WBB announced theirs a few weeks later. Now, it appears MBB is going to announce theirs

How good can these branding educators possibly be if after only three announcements, people are already irritated by them?
