    KenPom goes pay

    Nothing outrageous though, just $20 for the whole season, so well worth it.

    Thanks for the update. I was just thinking about KenPom this morning and how I should check the site out. That might be the best $20 you can spend in handicapping. Well worth it.

    Right, but I'd wait until conference season starts as that is around the time when ratings become meaningful. Who knows, he may change his mind by then.

    If you can not pay the $20, then the site would not help you anyway.

    It's funny. Normally when a site goes pay, my first reaction is "F*ck off." In this case, I know of nowhere else I can get this information (and I ain't doing it myself). $20 bucks per season isn't really that bad.

    Is the CIR report super current? Or do they just report the stuff anyone could get using google?

    Seems like I can still access all the information on his site that I've always been able to. I wonder what he locked down?

    I think it's a false alarm because I can get into the site and view everything.

    Doesn't start until next week. I think the main rankings/numbers are still going to be free...it's the detailed team-by-team stuff that's going to be charged. I guess a lot of college coaches use this website too, didn't know it was designed for other reason besides betting.

    Is KenPom a valid handicapping tool?

    I see now that his ratings are behind a login portal and you have to pay $20 now.

    I think I'll go ahead and pay for this.

    It's $20 bro


    If he were charging a ton I wouldn't be too happy, but I have no problem with $20 per year.


    don't steal from the man

    Is it really better than the top free gambling stat sites??
    I doubt it although for $20 per year it cannot hurt

    especially since they no longer offer free plays


    they should look into all pay sites / software out there for betpoints

    Does not seem gambling driven though, no idea if that is good or bad

    He has all the info you need if you know what to do with it
    the stuff you pay for is ok, but you can still get the data from the main page and export to excel or whatever your like no need to pay
