Tyrese Hunter Entering the Transfer Portal - NIL Speculation

[NENick]

You guys had the ability all year to put money directly in Tyrese’s pocket and get a personal video and it was only like $40. He must have turned it off recently though. Just saying

Grill NIL!
Fire it up!

FWIW there's still no one on reddit or Twitter who thinks this is legit. I would bet the "definite smoke" was the tweet from one of our fans that's known to be overreactive.

I said I would pay $500 if it meant he'd stay. There is a big difference. But like my disclaimer...this would open up a bunch of other things. Other guys bluffing about leaving to get money...jealousy, payment and then they leave anyways. It really sucks. But it isn't going anywhere.

Yeah it's $500 or whatever NOW for this one time but it's not sustainable over the long haul.

Hearing its likely true. Buddy of mine named his source who is on the team.

What a year.

It’s too bad our fans have a reputation of being cheap. I shouldn’t complain because I’m not helping.

ha ha. We have a bunch of cheap engineers as alums and 'fans'. I know several who not only have never returned to campus after graduation
--for anything (despite living within 100 miles from Ames), but don't follow ISU athletics, and don't give a flipping red cent in donations

of course there are exceptions, so don't melt down over this fact

Needed to make room for AJ to play PG?

As somebody who has tried to raise money for ISU sports - NIL will be very bad for us. We do not have the people with the big $ to compete with the elite. We lose in bidding wars.

Yes, it's not going to end well for ISU with NIL. It's just not. We have a lot of things to offer, but boosters with deep pockets isn't our thing. Every year we'll have to replace our best FR/SO going forward.

It’s true JP hasn’t changed a thing in 16 years in that regard. Still behind KSU. Good thing TV revenues have increased and the natural growth of the fanbase.

The issue with NIIL and its successor pay-to-play is if its uncapped, or capped at a very high amount. Because players the most valuable input. The market will grow quickly.

Paying players no more a disadvantage than the uncapped arms race used to attract players. You think pgs are expensive with no certain ROI, try buildings and multiple-year coaching contracts. Paying players is the most direct and cheapest way to compete.

NIL right now isn’t bad if 500k gets you a starting pg. The program takes in more fan money than that, it just gets spent on things less impactful to winning. It is only bad because there’s been little leadership- fans may be oblivious to what they’re spending on, but the AD isn’t. Even if no additional new fan spending, the AD gains more long term if a portion of the season ticket revenue redirected to NIL. ISU if leaving NIL to chance is the opposite of what needs to be done.

The blueblood don’t want NIL or pay to play either. They have a near monopoly on recruiting right now, with brand value from tradition and history being huge barriers. Shoe money too. NIL and pay to pay are equalizers in that regard. Tech is one donor’s check away from being able to steal a recruit from KU, and for it to be legal

UNC is the same school that commited academic fraud and got no punishment. You think the ncaa is going to punish them for tampering? That’s a no. They don’t care

Yup, UNC accused of academic fraud a few yrs ago--at the same time Roy Williams was nominated into the College basketball hall of fame and prior to induction ceremony, so the NCAA turned the other cheek.


I suspect 'crocodile tears' Roy Williams instructing Hubert Davis how to poach players who reside here. LaFrentz, Collison, Heinrich, Barnes, Paige, to name a few

Everybody has a source these days

 

[buf87]

So are these deals supposedly $500,000 or $750,000 per year or over the college span?

 

[madguy30]

I mean typically if there's smoke something has gone on.

Even the CMC to Notre Dame thing was legit if they didn't have their coach.

Does TJ know we’re only paying him this year, or only short-term?

Coaches generate revenue. So do players. Even more so. We’re just not accustomed to being able to directly pay for it.

We are familiar with paying for it indirectly via salaries, recruiting budgets, fixed costs from an arms race ultimately aimed at getting better players.

So this thread got me thinking.(as I read some thoughts about this stuff making people get turned off by college bball).....how would we as fans feel if, say, the Sukup family went "all in" for one year and did NILs and built a super team, knowing it was a "one shot" to stack the deck and we won the Big 12 and then made a final four run? (Let's say we even win it)

Would people enjoy that banner hanging in Hilton?

I personally wouldnt....but also recognize for this time period this is what we are up against. I hope things "recenter" some.

I know what you mean, but the big schools have bought their teams for years, and they don’t lose sleep when they hang the banners. Winning and success brings in fans and money. With how fast everything is changing, I don’t think we have the time to sit around and save our resources for the future. Bet big now and hope it pays off.

I’d love it.

A championship is a championship no mattter how much we paid for it. I’d take it.

 

[ISUCyclones2015]

I’d live it.

Yea, guaranteed this dude complains about his preferred pro sports teams about not spending enough

 

[Nor'MidWester]

Hopefully Tyrese didn't see any bad takes on Twitter or here about this (hopefully) fake story. Not saying I saw much but I'm sure there was some dumb tweets last night.

Not enjoying a NC on some set of misguided principles would be absolutely insane. Hate to break it to you but this Is how it’s always worked.
