Sha’s Lack of Accountability

If we had the resources the previous guy wouldn't have left, Gonzo would've had better teams, etc. Resources magically dried up when a couple of big time donors started rooming with Bubba. Amazing how the timing of those things coincided.
Ya these arguments are so silly, give 90% of America the "resources" they need and they will make 7 figures a year. Winner win, and losers make excuses. Sadly the Victim's mentality is a plague today in this country

Why would Larranaga complain about NIL funds at Miami? Is football NIL taking $$$ away from basketball.

Cristbal and the Cavinder twins have not been complaining about NIL funds.


I think he was talking about the process of NIL and what it's done to the game.

Interesting Student POV

Not necessarily true for a school like Seton Hall. To get an elite student to attend over the competition, the finances typically have to blow away the competition. Schools like Villanova, BC and Georgetown have many more students paying close to full retail. Seton Hall needs to sell to similarly situated students at closer to wholesale.
True, but at the end of the day, there is a balance and need to get as many students as you can to pay full boat. You need some of those elite students but you need income too.

Interesting Student POV

If applications went up and admissions could be more selective that should also translate into a reduction of subsidies/scholarships the school provides. You would think of this is true about mbb, that the early 90’s would have been the most profitable years.

Very sad news. I’m not even sure I know what sports broadcasting is like without him. He always carried himself so well. Always classy and thoughtful. Throughout the years, things got showier and more amped up in the Look At Me world of sports broadcasting, but he always remained a steadfast, refreshing presence. He will be missed. Condolences to the family.

Sha’s Lack of Accountability

When you are behind in resources the way to stay in the fight is to be smarter, faster and to be innovative. Unfortunately, Seton Hall isn't know for those traits.

Being late to NIL isn't an excuse, but it's just another reason why we are where we are today. Millions of dollars in donations were garnered for the Facility. The Facility was badly needed and also years behind competitors. The fact that our leading donors were tapped for the Practice facility and we did not take NIL serious for the first 2 years leave us where we are.

Yes, we'd still be behind the Big boys and without a Billionaire but we'd be much closer to peers like Providence, Xavier, etc.
The donors get a write off for that practice facility. Most get nothing for NIL. I very highly doubt we would have gone dollar for dollar between facility and NIL if there was no new facility.

1. Every coach complains about their NIL..it’s what they do.

2. I wouldnt trust a single word posted about Miami NIL

3. Miami learned the hard way being (or claiming to be) the nil big dog has issues

4. He has complained over the past year about his funds and ability to compete

5. He was more upset about the literal 24/7 need to tamper throughout the sport

Sha’s Lack of Accountability

The whole thing is crazy. Amazing people in leadership positions think this is acceptable. I know the Courts make rulings, but nobody seems to be trying to come up with a better solution.

Micah Peavy from Georgetown is on his 3rd school in 5 seasons, 3rd in 3 years. Our own Chaunce Jenkins is on his 3rd in 5 too. Toumi is actually on his 4th including a JUCO year.
It is unsustainable.

Sha’s Lack of Accountability

Sha definitely needs to get better at owning his mistakes. But in fairness to him, he won 25 games last year, yet the school didn’t have the resources to retain even one of his two best players.

The majority of blame for this disaster of a season falls directly on Felt, McBride, et al at the athletic department. I get that fundraising at Seton Hall is an uphill battle, but you either get the job done or you don’t. And clearly they have failed to keep us relevant in the NIL world.
The school shouldn’t have to pay to keep these kids. They should want to play for the school and the coach they chose and the scholarship/education they get. If you are good enough to go pro, do it after you graduate or go pro now and get the hell off of a college campus. Period.
This NIL and portal crap will destroy college sports in a very short time. The donors will dry up. These kids will piss away their NIL money. The concept of “Alma Mater” is gone.
