Carolina Huddle Magazine?

We're tossing that idea around.

Inside:

Photos of Huddle Kittens (of course)

Interviews with current and former players

statistics

recaps of some of the best Huddle discussions

columns by Huddle experts

It would be something very unlike ROAR Magazine. It'd focus on the Panthers (and probably Bobcats) primarily.

If you are interested in advertising, let me know.

Anyone interested in getting a year's subscription? We're probably talking a monthly at least until we get the first several issues under our belts.

Objectively speaking, I would go without the recap of huddle conversations... I'd like to read content from a very, very select few when it comes to hearing from huddle experts... I like the interviews with current and former players idea, I hope that can truly get worked out... Stats. Meh... if you're going to fill space with charts of numbers, I think it would be cool to see a new analysis of stats, other than the ordinary- make your own formula for a stat and stay consistent with it.

on the plus side: printing is dirt cheap right now

on the negative side: there's a reason it's dirt cheap, and that's that no one wants to read it anymore. you'd be better to do a subscription based blog.

but if you're dead set on this, pm about printing

jbro mentioned it. learn from cbsports when it comes to ad driven also.

Either get most of your money via ads(and they are going ask how many people currently are on the site) or stick with your bread and butter.

Gotta nail the value of someone reading it. Many mentioned what is free that is online.

Why do I want to read it?

Just putting my marketing hat on...good luck with whatever you guys do

Why print it? Why not add a premium feature to the site and charge for it and include the content you would put in the magazine. If you can't do that because of an agreement with sponsors of this site- link it to another seperate site and host it there. Printing seems a waste of money.

One of the reasons we're looking at this is the fact that the Panthers require a print publication (or being a TV station or radio station) to obtain credentials.

Since we're not going to have a TV Station or radio station any time soon, a print publication could be our inroads to obtaining and securing them.

I also think some things look better printed. I still like to read magazines.

Another reason is money. We've got an advertising deal with WCNC, and a magazine could be another way for us to create some revenue. More revenue means better resources (Video cameras, more sophisticated technology, paying contributors, etc) which ultimately results in a better experience for our visitors.

This is just one idea we're tossing around. Your feedback is greatly appreciated as we try to enhance the site and our community.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
