Scholarship table
2 million is the disaster.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
MuggsyI love the NIL because it will bring good donors out and the crooks now have competition. There are good folks that would not give dirty money that very well might join the NIL game now. It is a new game, but I think it levels the playing field. Off the top of my head, I can think of a half dozen MU alums that back the school already and might participate in the NIL program.
Why is a player making 2 million, thereby keeping him in college instead of the pros, a disaster for college hoops?
Goose, what if Harvard decides it wants to win championships? How could any school compete with them? And you could say they're above that with their academic standards but we know what Duke has done. They could basically poach any player they want that Duke has gotten.
Nothing, I hope. He’s terrible. Ever see his body language?
Muggsy,Yes, if Harvard wanted to buy a national powerhouse they definitely could fund it. As a fan, I would prefer Harvard winning that battle over Kentucky. That said, I would hope that Harvard has higher aspirations than one upping Kentucky in men's basketball. As I said in another post, I think paying a number of guys reasonable money will beat out paying 1-2 guys crazy money for one year over the long haul.
As far as I know there is no NIL cap. If I was the Prez of Harvard I would be on pace to win 10 titles in the next 10 yrs and go like 420-0.
MuggsyKentucky has no salary cap for 50+ years and have won how many championships?
I would buy the right players and poach them fron all pockets of the country. I'm being a little hyperbolic but I'm sure you understand my point.
This is a disaster for college hoops. Do I have to cash out my portfolio or will you and other scoopers take care of this stuff immediately?
Wait you mean the best players get paid to play at the best colleges? That’s really going to screw up the landscape of college basketball.
If you are a shoe company, why wouldn't you pay players via NIL to raise their profile at the right place to guarantee they sign with you down the road.Or an agent for that matter too.
I'm worried about 7 figure bags of cash panda. Players have been paid but it could get to be a bidding clown show.
How does this change the landscape of college basketball ?
We may have to find some auxiliary cash or work harder to compete.
