You can’t blame him, but I blame the system that seems like it’s the Wild West now. I was ok with the no sit out rule, but now there is no incentive to stay at a school.
Blaming the system doesn’t help Iowa St win games next year. Make a pitch for him to stay. Try and get some money together. if that doesn’t work you have to move on and try to pay other good players to come here.

If this is true, it’s the end of college basketball in my opinion. This truly would be buying the best teams and the blue bloods will always have the best talent. Sure some smaller teams will come up every once and a while, but it won’t be sustainable. The parity and unpredictability of college hoops is what I loved and if the traditional powers can literally buy talent from other teams, it’s just not the same.

Well, that’s the problem though. How do you think you can compete with this? Where do you get the money? I think it falls on the kid on what is important to him. If he wants money then they will go where they get paid. If you want to build something and see it through you stay.

I don’t think people really have the type of loyalty they used to

The NIL thing alone doesn't suck...it is the NIL thing plus the easy transfer rules now that make things no fun for fans in this type of situation (if there is even any truth to this)! This is not a complaint though...while it would suck to have this play out like some are speculating...I am all for the rights or more rights of players. Just hope this one in particular doesn't play out in a way that would be a gigantic kick in the ..... for us!

The kid comes from nothing. You would take the $750,000 too.

If this is true then aren’t we going down the college football model. The top teams will be loaded and teams like ISU will be in rebuild mode constantly when a player leaves for money.

I think this type of environment and they way it is being currently used ruins college sports and makes it difficult to watch.

The amateur model was probably outdated but this is why it was nice since it kept things relatively equal in terms of some level of parity. It is almost like they opened it up with no real rules.

I think at some point University Presidents and Board of Regents are going to have to decide what role athletics play in their university mission. If they view it drives alumni donations beyond the Athletic Department and drives up enrollment- then they will decide to be part of professionalism of college athletes. Right now money is being spent by Athletic Departments on facilities and coaching staffs, maybe schools like ISU will pivot to fund NIL incentives.

If they don't, then maybe there is a "major college" level that looks like the "idealistic" student athlete model.

But the train has left the station and there are just too many variables like NIL, athletes as employees, Congressional Involvement, Supreme Court Rulings/Statements. They all spell big changes over the next 3-5 years. I just hope the gains for MBB and Football players don't negatively impact the other Athletic Department student athlete's.

I do hope someone has his ear about the NBA prospects. UNC has Caleb Love (for now), RJ Davis, is in the running on Kendric Davis and has top 30 recruit Seth Trimble coming in. Not to mention you have Bacot as the focal point of the offense.

Or you stay here and it’s your team.

Not to mention the last three good point guards that played here are in the NBA, two are starters.
