Quote from: wadesworld on Today at 03:27:13 PMNo idea, but this has been a narrative well before revenue sharing was even a thing.  Kam Jones was rumored to have gotten a very large offer from Memphis and Marquette paid to keep him.  Kolek was rumored to have a very large offer on the table to stay for another season.  I promise you that Stevie and Jop were not getting paid what Kam was, even though the narrative was already out there that players just get paid a flat fee based on years in the program.  Not every senior is getting the same amount of money to play basketball at Marquette.

Perhaps Chase found out that NJ getting more than him, thus the lack of senior leadership.

Earnings Grabbing Behavior

There are massive bonuses given for EGBs on and off the court. Caedin is set for life.

The good rumors are that the base NIL amount is based on, and increases, by class.  (Hence, no need for a agent to negotiate)

I think you're 100% correct that individual players can still get (a lot) more.  (Hence, apparently we did negotiate, and non-negotiation was a dumb stance)

You think profiling killers is bad? There is much to be learned, Ms. Victim.

Quote from: Billy Hoyle on Today at 03:21:38 PMdo you know what the Revenue Share amounts are and how they're allocated?

Do you know?  My guess is you don't.  If every player is getting paid equally based on class year, versus production/market value our Athletic Department/donors are absolute idiots.  I don't think thats the case, despite not having hot dogs available at exhibition events.

But please continue with the milkshakes.

Quote from: JWags85 on Today at 03:14:02 PMWatching the All Star game and talking NBA contracts with a few buddies, the Bulls fan in the group made the obligatory Patrick Williams reference.  But then we started talking separating worst in terms outcome versus worse in terms of "why the hell did they do that.

Some of the "worst" contracts were like the Paul George trade, didn't look crazy at the time but aged like milk in the sun.  Gilbert Arenas got the $100MM and fell off a cliff, between injuries and the gun incident, but was an absolute bucket and All-NBA 3 of 4 years before he signed.  Same thing with John Wall, never played more than half a season after his big extension, but had made 4 straight ASGs, an all defensive team, and All NBA leading up to it while averaging 22/5/10 the 3 years before...a legit superstar.  Even the Chandler Parsons deal, which was way worse than those 2, was given to a 6'9 28 year old who while only averaging 14 and 5, was shooting 42% from 3 that year...then his knees imploded and thats that.

My personal pick for most egregious?  BISMACK BIYOMBO.  His entire career has been a fleecing of front offices.  7th overall pick despite averaging 6 pts and 4 rebounds in only 14 games in Spain solely because he had a random, yes completely random given his career, triple double in a Nike Summit game.  Goes to Charlotte and is completely over his head, decent rebounder, but can't score to save his life.  Goes to Toronto, still can't score but has a couple huge rebounding games. 

But again, he had games with 16/18/20, 26 damn rebounds, but still averaged only 8 for the season cause he's not consistently good and vanishes...so Orlando gives him $72MM over 4 years.  For a guy who averaged under 5 pts and 7 rebounds for his career and wasn't even the best rebounder on the Raptors that year.  And even after horrifically underperforming that contract, teams have continued to give him $3-4MM a season for the last 6 years.  Take a bow man, what a finesse.

To be fair, he's extremely charitable and does a lot of good with his money, so its a finesse to a seemingly good person, but still.

Timofy Mozgov getting a 4 year, $64MM contract from the Lakers after averaging 6.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 0.8 block per game while playing just 17 minutes per game was insane.  he was out of the league after half the contract was up.

Quote from: wadesworld on Today at 02:32:32 PMGuys, all Marquette players are not paid the same amount by grade/years in the program.  Kam would've all been long gone if they were making the same money as Jop and Stevie (no offense to those two).  There was enough money to make Kolek returning at least a thought.  There's no way Stevie and Jop were receiving that kind of money last year.

do you know what the Revenue Share amounts are and how they're allocated?
