Damn

Again, the sheer volume of money NIL uncorked without any legal danger is almost incomprehensible.

This country is flush with highly wealthy people who can afford to drop this. And hey, more power to them, they earned the right.

Are we waiting until the House Settlement to sign players?Sounds like something SHU would do.Always late to the party.

Confirmed: Ben Johnson was the NIL Problem for Gophers Men's Basketball

The Minnesota Gophers had a major NIL problem under Ben Johnson, but who's fault was it? Now we know...

Great read. You can see and feel the similarities.

If SHU has done their part and has the money it’ll eventually start leaking that it’s Sha’s inability to accept the new order. If it’s his reluctance to get passed guys half his talent getting double what he got, he’s going to lose terribly.

Idk I hope that’s not the case.

Any people are starving in the world. Crazy just to win some basketball games.

Kind of like six celebrity woman being pioneers of space for taking a ten minute ride that cost tens of millions of dollars. Some of our priorities are head scratchers.

Coaches ( yes Coaches ) had free rein to get mega $$$$ -- now with Athletic Departments having to consider paying Players ---what justifies paying mega bucks for Coaches? Plus Coaches now have to work harder and longer--no wonder Coaches dislike what is happening.

I just came here to post this.

It is really bad. Really bad. Honestly, I wonder how college basketball survives this.

Something (I think) will be done to reign in the spending, unless revenue share results in the market not being so inflated. At some point most are going to question the ROI, especiallly the individual boosters and fan collectives.

Because you know as well as anyone that you can’t buy a title. If I’m a UCONN fan, I’m proud at how this years team competed in the shadow of 2 title teams. But some here seem to think that if you don’t win a title, the season doesn’t matter, in which case any booster with that mindset is going to get frustrated at some point because the $$ helps put you in a position to compete but doesn’t guarantee more than that.
