Doesn't it look like there is a lot of unnecessary people there capitalizing on a free trip France?

There is a doctor (strongly advised by tour organizers), trainer, senior student managers and trainers (as a reward for 4 years of work), an academic advisor to give talks to the players about scenic and historic sites they’re visiting ahead of time, coaches and an administrator to help communicate and arrange things with tour manager. I don’t see anything wrong with any of these. The big benefit to these trips, in addition to the intrinsic value of exposure to different cultures and historic sites, is the extra practice time with coaches before the trip.

Good grief. 25 people?

Roster of 12. 13 extras.
THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS.
Shoot, imagine Dabo taking 210 people on a "football team" field trip.

ONCE AGAIN AN IDIOT CHIMES IN. THE BASKETBALL YOU CAN HAVE 13 SCHOLARSHIP PLAYERS PLUS 3 WALKONS. THAT IS 16 FOR YOU MORONS. THEN YOU HAVE COACHES AND SUPPORT STAFF. MAYBE YOU DO NOT REALIZE FOOTBALL HAS OVER 50 INCLUDING SUPPORT STAFF. BUT HEY, WHAT ARE FACTS. LETS THE MORONS HAVE THEIR FUN.

IF YOU ARE SMART ENOUGH TO IDENTIFY 4 PEOPLE THAT AREN'T PLAYERS, COACHES, NOR SUPPORT STAFF THEN HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHY TF PLAYERS 13-16 SHOULD BE ON A FIELD TRIP INSTEAD OF IN THE GYM GETTING BETTER THATS 7 HUNKS OF FAT RIGHT THERE THAT NEEDS TO BE TRIMMED YOU KNOW HOW MUCH A TRIP TO FRANCE FOR 7 COSTS BIG BOY?

Are you stupid, or just a miserable person that wants to complain about something?
Let's use that same dumbarse logic.....
Pj Hall and hunter Tyson we're both hurt last year. They were our top 2 players. That's the equivalent of having our top 14 players on the football team out with injury.

Hate to interrupt your dumbarse logic rant, but 2 out of a starting 5 is 40%, so like 9 football players (maths and all) would be a similar comparison, which actually happened last year +, and Dabo still coached us to 10 wins.

Hate to make you look like a complete bozo, but you do realize basketball teams are allowed 13 scholarship athletes right? We only had 12 on the team last year. Our top 2 players out of 12 were injured for part of the season. 16.66%
The football team is allowed 85 scholarship players. If we use the same dumbarse logic that the OP did, that would be 14 out of of 85 scholarship players.
Again the logic was dumb and I was proving that it was dumb. Move along

I'm complaining about the sheer number of people on the trip. You are making MORE excuses for why the hoops program svcks.
Are YOU stupid, or just someone that defends our failing hoops program in a tourettes-like manner.

I know your point, but all college basketball teams make these tours. As a school, You can have one every 4 years. The schools don't shell out much money either. Funded through the shoe contracts, NCAA, etc.
A lot of other non revenue sports do these international tours also. Soccer is one of them.

Amazing how a thread about how much fun we’re having on this trip turns into a whine fest questioning how many people are on the trip and how much money it costs.
