We have one very successful alum that has been raised here before; maybe we offer a "Cyber security" major (if we dont already) as that is his passion...have him endow it...name it after him...etc.
I have to think (or at least hope) we have more than ONE very successful alumni. I also have to think this alumni has been contacted or courted by the university or other influential alumni. Maybe he just doesn't care about basketball, NIL, P4P, etc. Not saying we shouldn't keep calling him, but to expect him to hit the beach soon just because he's got a ton of money....
We apparently have 3 billionaire alums we are courting, one of them the one discussed here. Certainly one of them can donate something significant for us and an afterthought for them.
Fran is clearly not planning to coach again!
Ratings have been dropping for the most part. With cord cutting, there are fewer available measurable homes.
Fran is like Vitale. At some point he realized he can coach two or three games a week, get paid well and never take the L.
Here's a crazy comparison: https://www.on3.com/teams/kentucky-...-nil-disconnect-behind-the-scenes-basketball/
Maybe you publicize good news but not embarrassing news?
Not exact numbers indeed, but clearly a $100,000 offer to Antonio Reeves to sign some autographs. And another 6 figure offer for another Kentucky player. Then another $49,000 in the actual NIL collective.
Didn’t they just announce that they are getting record viewership for this point in the tournament or did you mean for the season as a whole
Precisely why we can't compete at that level....this guy literally cannot give his million dollars away...
Maybe that's something we should look into - Sports Cards. As a sports card collector, I'd be all for it! Seton Hall Team sets with an autograph in every pack. Get McBride on the phone
Dan, take note that the amount above does not take into consideration the prior campaign signing up those who are also donating monthly?
Deuce Turner and Jhamir Brickus (LaSalle transfer and another Seton Hall target) are both from Coatesville, PA. I'd be interested to know if either of them have any sort of relationship with John Allen, who is currently the coach at Coatesville Area High School.
Some coaches text a lot when they are trying to get a player to leave a school....lol
It could not be more obvious to me why a school would never disclose the amount. Once disclosed, each player will know exactly his share of the pot. This will cause tumult among teammates and undoubtedly requests for a higher share.
Yes, there is an actual portal (website). That is the official platform but as we all know in many cases this stuff is handled offline thru handlers well before the players name actually appears on the site.
I dunno…UConn doesn’t seem to have much trouble retaining players and competing for national championships.
Some vehemently believe so. I doubt it’s so publicly know.
