What makes Marquette known? It isn’t the lawyers that have graduated from the school.
I am sured all the Marquette nursing student are thrilled that they have less value than a basketball player and perhaps point that out when the basketball player is on the operating table.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.

I got home and a lot of nights turned on old Marquette games on YouTube. The basketball games provided way more value to just me then about anything else.
What ... no Joe McCarthy?
I found this quote interesting:"Given what a second-round pick can earn, compared to the NIL money Love could collect, it’s likely that he’ll be back at UNC."https://tarheeltribune.com/2022/04/07/with-nil-money-changing-equation-unc-should-have-roster-to-make-redemption-run-like-1982-and-2017/We have a 20-page thread where there is a commonly accepted wisdom that Justin should leave because the money he could earn even as a mid-2nd round pick is too much to pass up. Looking at the decisions by Love, Bacot, Oscar Tshiebwe to remain in college, the opposite seems to be turning out to be the case--the NIL money might be better than what a 2nd round pick might earn. It raises the question as to how far is MU from being able to retain Lewis based on similar NIL.
Yes, Marquette will always be behind North Carolina and Kentucky in terms of NIL. But this is also one of the reasons why NIL is great for college basketballUNC and Kentucky . It keeps top talent in college longer.
There is always the possibility he comes back to another school that can provide a better NIL package than MU (COLE).
With your COLE reference I realize your post is slightly pre-TEAL. If there was no hint of satire, let me say this:Imagine a hypothetical where a player exits a system he has fit very well in, in order to garner $400,000 more in NIL money from a big💰 blue-blood. He has a decent final college season there, but falls a bit off the NBA radar after not being utilized properly. Given back-to back year similarities in pro talent and mock drafts, the player regressed slightly and dropped 8 draft slots. Was the transfer worth the immediate pecuniary gain, only to take a significant hit on his first contract? I realize that Justin was a Wojo recruit, but Shaka clearly did a phenomenal job utilizing and developing him. It’s really a simple equation, but one that requires a bit of thought from the athlete himself. Shaka will also be well-positioned if Justin indeed gets feedback that he needs to play the small 5 more.

Yep. Of course, some of the same folks who want athletes to stay in school longer also prefer that major-sport athletes have neither free-transfer rights nor the right to be compensated for their own NIL.
All mock drafts are not equal just because it says ‘mock draft’ on the heading.
Bleacher Report and Sports Illustrated both have Justin at 41 in their latest mock drafts.ESPN ranks Justin at 40 in their top 100.
Of all your ridiculous takes on the topic of athlete freedom/compensation, this is a candidate for your bottom 5.
I have no problem with an athlete earning from NIL. I have a problem with giving a wealthy athlete a scholarship if they can pay their own way.
