I still think revenue sharing can help (a little) I just haven’t seen anything released from the school about the idea

Of course our revenue is probably small BUT we offer so few sports compared to most if not all peer schools we should be able to supplement $$ towards or NIL and help the cause

I’ve been killed as a KW fanboy (even though I posted he should be fired after Marquette) and a sha hater..but I think legitimate criticism of Sha during NIL is he has a track record of being way way off on nil market values and talent evaluation.

There were several of us to point out when he scoffed at Tyreses number that it was actually very bargain based..there are a few of these examples out there

You’re less well known than you imagine.

You’ve seen nothing but news paper/media reports.

I prefer to weigh real evidence before believing accusations that impugn the character of Reilly. And to those who accuse Hank of some type of corporate speak cover up shame on you.

To all of you judging on the media reports do future accuseds a favor and get yourself excused from jury duty.

Sad that so many are prepared to believe the worst. The kangaroo court is alive and well.

As if our season wasn’t back enough we have the full on bashing of everyone associated with the University.

Signing off. You’ll have one less voice urging facts before judgment.

Can’t argue with HallX2 noting that a big part of our problem is an apathetic alumni base. But this is nothing new; it’s been this way ever since i remember being a student and then young alumni at SHU in the late 80s into the 90s. Unfortunately the school has done a poor job cultivating alumni engagement over the years, and then what’s become really obvious is a terrible job with fund raising with the high net worth alum. But you really can’t do the latter when you’ve done a historically poor job with alumni engagement and keeping a large commuter population feeling like they had a positive experience.

I’m sure the school has studied what Villanova does so well to have the level of engagement and alumni fund raising that they get. More importantly, they should be hiring more people from Villanova to help out situation here.

If you're looking to pay someone to stay for next season, Jada Eads would be our best representative for NIL.

I don't see the NIL situation changing much regardless of who is the coach. I think success would bring in more fair-weather fans and $50-$100 donations, but I'm not sure there would ever be enough of them to really boost the budget into a competitive range.

I'm more concerned that this disaster of a season is going to make our bigger donors reassess how much they're contributing. I couldn't imagine giving tens of thousands of dollars, if not more, to the NIL and this being my return on investment. I certainly don't think I would be inclined to double down and give even more for next season.

If that's the case and the NIL budget shrinks I don't know how we get out of this hole with Sha's current philosophy. The program needs to reinvent itself and take on some sort of identity. I don't know what the best approach would be, but that's the only way I see the team being successful.

Run and gun and shoot 30+ 3's a game, play 40 minutes of full court pressure defense, or play a 1-3-1 zone like Beilein did back in the day. It's going to have to be something like that, IMO.
