The Bluejay Underground: A Creighton Sports Message Board

Athletic Director Marcus Blossom will join me in-studio for a live interview on the recent happenings at Creighton Athletics and a state of the department interview this Wednesday at 4pm.

We'll obviously cover all the main topics, but if there are questions you would like asked, please submit them in the comments and we'll try to get to a few of them.

You'll be able to listen on 1620 AM in Omaha or from anywhere here:

When will the Jays get Lacrosse?

Since Creighton is a private university, will revenue sharing numbers be kept private?

Does the Athletic Department have a plan in place to avoid “NIL fatigue” from donors?

Does he have a response to Terry Pettit's Facebook post questioning his leadership skills?

“When will the Jays get Lacrosse?”

I don’t know if this was a serious question or not, but I always thought it would be cool if Creighton had a lacrosse team! To be honest, it’s still a very elitist sport, but I think perception is changing. Jays basketball is x100 more interesting to me than a lacrosse team would ever be. Nevertheless, I would still enthusiastically follow a Bluejays lacrosse team. I wouldn’t want lacrosse to dilute our NIL for the existing sports though.

Creighton Bluejays lacrosse defeats John’s Hopkins Blue Jays lacrosse in the national championship. Let’s make this happen, people!

Serious question I do like watching college Lacrosse being in the big east I think it would be a perfect fit for another spring sport.

There are some changes involving Lacrosse being a Premier Club sport at CU for men and women (as well as Golf and Hockey).

Sorry, to derail John's thread. I'd be curious about the expected things like the coaching switches, NIL and rev sharing, and NCAA's role going forward.

Ask him why we don't show replays during any (many) referee challenges. I know many schools already do. Also, we lost the stats on the sideline when the courtside seats changed. And these were hit and miss from team stats to individual stats. The jumbotron prefers to give me pictures on our facebook page.
It is annoying to have my phone linked to the stats at the Creighton website. Do we have to wait for a new scoreboard to get this. CU has to compete with FS1 etc. Every single game is on TV or streaming. I shouldn't have to get a text from a friend giving me the information I should have for paying for the live experience. This is not new, I asked these questions to Ras and he always said they don't control CHI, that Mecca does. I struggle to believe that answer

Replays are the single biggest issue that will prevent me from renewing after 17 years. I also go to Iowa State games. Every close play is replayed. I don't understand why we don't. I can think of a few close games where it made a difference.

Maybe I’m out of the mainstream, but I can’t remember ever really getting upset about a lack of a replay. Certainly nothing that I shake my fist at the clouds about or consider it as a factor in whether or not to renew my tickets.
