Based on Shakas signing’s so far he is bringing in people who he thinks he can develop into high level talent. They have not necessarily been the type that MU has to make sure are paid big dollars immediately upon arrival. That is ok if MU is ready and willing for Phase 2.Phase 2 with this strategy is MU alums/business leaders in Milwaukee who are willing to step up when it matters, after the players become good to great college players. Justin is a good example of this. Hopefully the powers that be have a nice package waiting for him if he decides not to go pro. I would hate to become the triple A team for the big boys.At least in prior years we didn’t have to worry about our best players (diamonds in the rough) leaving for anywhere but the pros. The way it is set up now we could be a farm team if we’re not ready.MU was always in this position when compared to the Kentuckys of the world on initial recruitment of players as people incessantly point out. In that way nothing has changed. But they weren’t necessarily in this position after MU had them in the fold. The new rules give the big boys another chance to keep lesser programs from reaching their potential. Overall point, I eagerly await MUs and the MU community’s response to this. The recruiting strategy could pay off big time if we are willing to pay big $$$$ in Phase 2. If not our next Wade will be in the Final Four for another team.
Yeah. Maybe go to Duke or NC. Worked out well for Theo and Garcia.
Theo went to a final 4. It worked out great for him.
Eh...i get it's an experience...and COVID was an issue for going overseas...but i don't see how theo increased his value. No clue what he'll make overseas...but the opportunity cost was pretty high, imho.
That's not actually how the working world works.
If Justin doesn't stay in the draft, it wouldn't remotely surprise me if he transferred elsewhere for a big payday.
That's not how it's going to work necessarily. But if that's how it's done, and players are actually paid by their merit or value, how do you determine that exactly before they step on the court? Or should they get paid after the season? Won't some players immediately transfer to schools that pay them more after a good season? As far aa I know there is no cap.
I call B.S. on stating Miami offered Nijel Pack 600K to transfer there. That is in direct violation of Florida law.Florida statute:An intercollegiate athlete at a postsecondary educational institution may earn compensation for the use of her or his name, image, or likeness. Such compensation must be commensurate with the market value of the authorized use of the athlete’s name, image, or likeness. To preserve the integrity, quality, character, and amateur nature of intercollegiate athletics and to maintain a clear separation between amateur intercollegiate athletics and professional sports, such compensation may not be provided in exchange for athletic performance or attendance at a particular institution and may only be provided by a third party unaffiliated with the intercollegiate athlete’s postsecondary educational institution.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
No, they get "paid" to play basketball for the university.
Then why go through the charade of taking classes?
You were right on Pack being offered $600k. It was actually $800K and a car
I wonder if some NIL money will eventually dry up. How long will alumni or local business fans chip in NIL money for the non-blue blood schools when the NCAA tournament going forward is going to be dominated by the blue bloods?
Wow. This does eliminate the need to go g-league or Europe/Australia that’s for sure. You would need a crap load of disposable income as a company/individual to do this regularly/yearly for different players. It’s not like this can be used as a tax break (or can it?).
This is much more likely to happen TO us than to our benefit.
I don' think this will prove to be true. Whenever we snag a Tyler Kolek or Zach Wrightsil, that is us doing this to someone else.
