It Could Be Worse

Except for the fact that Laranega has a long long career and actually achieved those things AT THE CURRENT school in a power conference….massive difference
And Laranega has complained about his NIL for 18 months now
Larranga's complaints about NIL aren't about a lack of resources. His complaints are same as everyone else's- having to constantly re-recruit your own players due to unlimited transfers, agents approaching players and coaches during the season and the total lack of transparency.
Miami was one of the first teams to pay players big salaries (through John Ruiz) and they rode it to an E8 and F4. After paying guys good money, they all went in the Portal seeking more money.
"What shocked me, beyond belief, was after we made it to the Final Four just 18 months ago, the very first time I met with the players, eight of them decided they were going to put their name in the portal and leave".
That is what I said when he retired..trust me I know..he has complained about resources for 18 months
That is my point…EVERYONE complains about their NIL now..it’s what you do now..take it for what it’s worth
I get it..but that’s not entirely correct
Their NIL was always way overblown (which is what they wanted) and it back fired immensely
yup. even the schools that have money don't like it. its going to turn into a horrible product very quickly and the core fanbase will be over it quickly.
its just rearranging players every year and hoping you get lucky one of those years. teams will have big spending years and small spending years. fans will have absolutely zero connection to these teams, which is what the whole point was supposed to be about.
and now you apparently have 9 year players
Lol
Btw Laranega would tell you they don’t have money or enough money
Exactly what I’ve said from the beginning..glad you caught up
and if abig school doesn't have enough what does a small school have? this is like pro sports with an actual poverty class.
So the old big East. Pretty much who we should reach out to when schools secede.
Unless Carmelo Anthony’s kid saves Syracuse they’re finished as a major program. Going down the same tube as Georgetown.
