Both Hands Tied Behind Our Back

[muwarrior69]

Can you read???

Actually I found this link that states Kentucky's Athletic Department  non-profit LLC is subject to an open records request. Whether you subject to an open request report or not what is the downside for Marquette to form an LLC? Maybe it makes sense for Kentucky why not Marquette as noted before their not subject to the 20 million dollar cap as required in the settlement.

So sorry I am not in the know like you are.   Ok. If you say we have the money fine.  Go Marquette

Apology accepted, Daniel

Safe to say we don't know exactly what the NIL total is but we do know it's not zero. My thing is that I think we literally chose to tie our hands behind our backs if we don't utilize all the sources available to us to add quality players.

Agree and not sure but in talking to some feel we have enough money to add a player or 2 in the portal. Seemed like Chase had his hands tied behind his back at the line today. What did it look like on television

Uh. I claimed that private companies universities are not subject to open records requests. You claimed I was wrong...but I am not.

that his hands were tied behind his back (4/13 FG, 3/7 FT)

I don't understand the fixation with open records in this thread.

One of the linked articles states flat out that Kentucky's effort is "not an attempt to privatize athletics or shield it from public oversight—unlike similar structures in places like Florida, Champions Blue remains subject to Kentucky's Open Records Act."

Reading the articles linked, the main benefits to Kentucky athletics seem to be a) bypassing the perceived slowness of decision-making by the university at large to provide greater flexibility, and b) creating direct employment and NIL opportunities with an LLC that bypasses the $20 million post-House compensation cap.

For the non-transfer portal system to run smoothly every year, you absolutely have to get production out of your classes every year. We're not getting that from our juniors or sophomores. 1 - Zaide Lowery is OK, but with his athleticism, he should have taken a significant leap this year. I'd argue he was better last season. 2 - Tre Norman. Unless he becomes the next Pat Foley (1987-88 season) where he was a non-contributor for three seasons but then developed an outside shot and could drive to the basket and draw fouls, he's just taking up space. Both those guys were big-time recruits that haven't developed. 3 - Damarius Owens looks like he was out for Wisconsin (flu?) but he hasn't done anything this year. 4 - Royce Parham has been the best of the group. The other thing - they have no shooters (free throws or three-pointers). Some of the guys coming in looks like they will be decent. But we have no Kam Jones, Tyler Kolek, Sam Hauser, Andrew Rowsey, Markus Howard that can really knock them down with consistency. That just kills us. Indiana and Wisconsin beat us with three-pointers. We actually had more points in the paint than Wisky. You can get all the deflections, steals, beautiful drive-and-kicks or shot fakes and drives to the paint, but if you can't put the ball in the hoop, all the cardio, weight training, camaraderie, teamwork, positive culture and athleticism you have is canceled out. So far, we are not seeing the "growth" or the "success" of the RGV mantra.

Just to refresh some of you, MU has about 6M to play with, the issue is Shaka wants results and freshman only get so much. To most of us, that money is ver good. Reason he keeps retention, is that most of the other players have not produced enough to go somewhere else.  No bidding for those kids.  So to improve the team next year, need to show some tough love and find a new home for a few kids.

I've been watching basketball for a loooooong time, and Chase's fumbled attempt at a FT was the first time I had ever seen such a thing.

How do you know?

Is that for MBB only or all sports? How do you know this?

You are wrong.

You are wrong.

I am not. But keep digging.

I'm not digging. Just stating facts.

Law enforcement records because Marquette has an official PD. Not relevant at all to what I was talking about, but sure.

Thanks for admitting you were wrong.

[The Sultan]

Thanks for admitting you were wrong.

Yes. I was. I forgot that private schools that have law enforcement agencies are subject to such requests. I shouldn't have been so absolute in my statement.

[Newsdreams]

No, I do. Which is why I said as much.
We have the money.

Well tell us how much

[MU82]

It's fun to read Scoopy statements, presented as facts with 100% certainty, but with absolutely no evidence to support their claims.

It's like when our parents used to say: "Because I said so!"

Once fans don't show up on mass.....And applications to the school start drying up.....Actions will be taken....

Seton Hall is a totally crap school in many respects....Once the pressure was put on them to produce a better basketball product.....There team is like day and night vs.last year.....
