SHU NIL To Grow Substantially

"The Hall expects to spend 90% of its NIL money from the House settlements on men’s basketball, and the remainder on women’s basketball, NJ Advance Media has learned. So in that world, Seton Hall essentially would double its NIL budget and be able to pay players more money."
 
As I have previously suggested, we should not spend any NIL money next year but rather save it. Maybe the next year after too until we have a pot big enough that we can compete with Kansas, St John's, MIchigan etc.. Then we go and buy a team of top talent. And build an NCAA tourney team.

Only having enough NIL money to get so-so players will not result in the success we want.

I believe what the schools can pay is capped to the settlement amount. The wildcard is third party doners can still pay the athletes as well.
 
It's a fair point that allowing up to $20.5m direct payments is unlikely to help the Hall in a relative sense because all of the other schools can opt to spend up to that as well. And of course it is very hard to imagine the Hall spending anywhere near that amount. It could help vs smaller conference schools that aren't able/willing to spend millions a year. Within the BE and major conferences, it might make the gap even larger.

Shopping where others are not could be a way to get some steals before others catch on. How big is the foreign player market these days at the collegiate level? Basketball is a pretty popular global sport. Surely more players than there are roster spots if you know how to find them.

Of course, doing that takes money/resources too. Which brings us right back to the same problem. Ah well.
 
$3 million in revenue sharing for basketball-onlies will be below average. $4 million will be about average.

Yes, 2 seasons of empty arenas and disastrous play will really be helpful to the school. I am sure the conference will support that approach as well. Have you been at the arena the last few games? Depressing scene.

We can compete with average money and smart usage.

Are you just backing into this number based on expected football school outs? I saw that VCU will opt into $4-$5 million, but I haven't heard anything from other schools.

All football schools are expected to opt into the full $20.5M, and everything I've read suggests 75/15/10 will be the average allocation: 75% football ($15.4M), 15% MBB ($3.1), 10% all other ($2.0M).
