At a meeting with a Butler Board of Trustee today. He is also one of eight board members for their collective. Interesting stuff. Goal is to collect $1M initially this year and build from there. Plan is to pay everyone on the roster a base number and a sliding scale from there based on market value. A player is also free to get other NIL money from businesses in the community. (He actually is doing that with one of the players for $5k.) It’s a close group collective right now but they plan to open it up at some point next year. Anyone with knowledge, how does ours compare?
Basketball related stuff he added:
- Shocked me by saying Butler will be a top 3 BE team this year. The transfers have been off the charts, especially Manny Bates and Ali Ali.
- Tore it up on their European trip.
- Matta will coach them up to. He is exceptionally high on the squad. He loves Matta as he played for him for two years.
- No surprise…said Miller and his brother are the two dirtiest coaches in college basketball…lol.
- Loves Holloway….who doesn’t?
