I assume this is the one that is giving a mill NIL to each school? Do we know where that money is coming from? Maybe I am off but I neve saw these preseason tourneys as big moneymakers.

For what it's worth, a few people above had asked about football NIL. This year NIL for UConn football was $1.25 million. Next year it is scheduled to go up to $2.5 million. Note that that is NIL only. It does not include future profit sharing.

I have included a link to a New Haven register article that lists these figures below:

If you use your phones "reader" function you can get by the paywall.

Yes, I agree. Those are insane figures, but that's the world of college sports right now. as you guys know, basketball is not immune to this either.

The fallacy is that big time sports is a good financial investment. Fewer than 10 schools run a surplus. Seemingly every dollar earned and more is reinvested.

I don't know that this is an absolute truth, but there are plenty of examples of it, Rutgers being one. on the other hand, the football schools are driving the environment and making everything more expensive even for basketball and Olympic sports. For the University of Connecticut, I'm concerned that being on the outside, looking in on that means that eventually we will be priced out of being a high major in basketball if we do not get into a power conference. I'm not sure how you compete without access to power conference media distributions.

Of course that's even a more difficult issue for you guys without the cushion of State money to help buffer the demands of an ever escalating cost of doing business. Personally, I don't think it's accidental. I feel as if there is a concerted effort to make the cost of competing at the highest level prohibitive for anyone who's not in the club now. That's the reason why I think that if you have the opportunity to join a power conference, you jump on it. I fully agree that virtually all of it, if not all and then some, we'll get reinvested back into athletics, but by doing so at least you have a chance to be competitive.

And she was not democratically elected to be the next Prez. As such, she should be taking more interviews with the press vs none. She is avoiding the public eye of a country that doesn't really pay attention unfortunately. It's sad but the same basement approach that Biden took is playing out with Kamala. At least Trump is out there saying dumb things and taking interviews - lol. How does the supposed greatest country in the world have these two choices again?

Nice!

Jerry's human interest stories are so relatable. And I am sure that there are many on this forum who, like myself, spent countless hours during their "free time" on the field or court coaching their sons' and daughters' teams, or just kids in their communities, over the course of many years, and during all seasons. Few of us, if any, will get a plaque but hopefully, our reward is seeing the young men and women who are now better people for the life lessons they learned during their sports career. God bless Kasey for honoring her Mom and giving back to the community her mom served. Thanks for posting, Dan.

Boosters for Seton Hall will be well represented in Charleston come November!!!

We have sold this out, but the Airline and our Hotel are granting additional requests for us, for only a short time.

What a pair they make flip flopping and lying, but really comes with the territory. Trump learned quick being an outsider that lying was OK. JD Vance should have a field day with Walz, who I think comes off as a phony. I will look forward to watching that debate.
