Thank you for posting, Mike’s response was spot on. Each are entitled to their own opinion on NIL. Mine is that I prefer my beloved University to step out of this madness, maybe to D3, rather than continue this charade. Looks like the Ivy League is thus far enforcing amateurism, but they have like-minded schools and are willing to accept the competitive imbalance. It would be great if the Big East did something similar, but I doubt it.
Thanks for sharing. Very good listen. And one point he touched upon that i did not even think of is from academic perspective....why would coaches even care if you go to class considering you will be gone the next year.
It will be very interesting to see how many kids in this current environment actually graduate.

He’s right about the NIL and high major college sports generally.
On specific teams, he isn’t connected anymore like he was back in the 80s and 90s when he was really dialed in on college hoops.
For example, Providence by all accounts has strong NIL, but he lumped them with us because both are smaller Catholic schools. The only thing he knows about the Hall is what went public after Pitino defended Sha. Other than that he doesn’t know anything about the Hall or most others.
Even St John’s he’s jumping on the bandwagon now but the reality is 95% of our boards knows more about them than he does.

yup. this sums everything up really nicely. said this 2 years ago. its the end. i prepared myself mentally.
Not a big Francesca fan but he knows more about the Hall than you give him credit for. Back in the PJ days post '89 when we were in the NCAAs he had PJ on his WMCA show a number of times. But I do agree that if not for the NCAAs he wouldn't know how to spell SHU. That 's the only time he spent time on college hoops.
Unfortunately he's right about the current state of college hoops.
