Few make it.That’s the dream and end goal for most players. Those who don’t have those aspirations are probably not good enough to get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars at a school like Kentucky.

That’s a little different don’t ya think?Did we boo JCL?
The result is, few will make it. Too many people in their ear.That’s the dream and end goal for most players. Those who don’t have those aspirations are probably not good enough to get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars at a school like Kentucky.
I love the fixed income statements. Aren’t people on salaries also on fixed incomes? Unless you are on commission or an hourly place with unlimited hours (most factories have set hours though), you are on a fixed income.Nice stereotype! BTW, the church I attend has an offering box in the back for people to give if they want. NO MENTION is made about the offering box. The only time that "giving" is mentioned is when there is a specific need (one time it was a family who were victims of a lay-off & were in a tough spot financially). I know of quite a few churches who practice the same type of things. Not all Christians are of the WACO variety.

I was thinking the same thing about CMC. Hopefully his dynamic personality, culture, and program can rise above this.Thank God for Coach Matt Campbell, a lot of people would be depressed in Iowa. As for me, I loved basketball when the mayor was coach and the likes of Morris, Niang. It used to be fun. Now? Whatever happens, if it’s good then I watch, bad, I go to the strip club. Anyways Coach TJ needs to change his formula a bit and insist on scoring a lot of points, yes defense is also but you have to score more than the team. Some good players might not be coming to ISU if they don’t give them freedom to score. The nba needs scorers so TJ defensive system might be working against us…. I’m ignoring the NIL aspect here.
Do you know the circumstances around the McDermott situation? It was a 'feel good story', helping teammates out, not gobbling up a bunch of talent. And let's wait to see how the Arkansas situation plays out before we anoint that the new normal.Probably not, but crazy things are happening. Look what Dougie Buckets did at Creighton a few years back. That decision is even easier if he is getting six figure NIL to boot.
Arkansas is currently at 14 schollys and still linked to almost every decent transfer. They supposedly are over $2mill in NIL (total) so MAYBE a NIL transfer ends up as a walkon. I don't know.

Pastor told me anything less than 25% smells like hellfire.Just like Church! Pass around the collection plate! Get Grandma to tithe 20% of her fixed income to pay Sportsball players! Cool!
Yes. He was on the receiving end of a few "Traitor" chants as well from the student section.Did we boo JCL?

Coaches are absolutely not required to be involved in the process. Many schools have hired outside companies to coordinate NIL opportunities for their athletes and to ensure that the proper contracts, tax forms and documentation are completed for those opportunities.Another potentially serious problem will soon rear its ugly head. NIL requires, by its nature, coaching involvement in arranging players and payers. Sooner rather than later, allegations will be made about Coach X receiving payment/donation from the payers or, god forbid, the players as “compensation” (read - kick back) or “reward” for making the “proper” pairing between payer and player.
Very soon gambling interests will become involved in NIL. Players will be bought and sold to the highest bidders. Huge bets will be made on college bball games. When this kind of money gets involved, cheating closely follows.
NIL, for all its good intentions, may very well be the beginning of the end of intercollegiate athletic competition as we’ve known it to be.
Which is hilarious considering we got Enaruna.
What if Hunter had just transferred out after Prohm left instead of staying for a year?Still think the situation is completely different here
JCL was a 6th? 7th? year player transferring to a school where he wasn't going to get much time.
Hunter is much more valuable and plus, the way it's happening makes it a bigger deal, too.
We would still blame Fred or McDermott or .....What if Hunter had just transferred out after Prohm left instead of staying for a year?
Oh no. That ship passedWe would still blame Fred or McDermott or .....

That hasn't changed though, still a new coach and new system that he didn't originally commit to. Would we prefer that he didn't stick around and we probably don't make the sweet 16 or maybe the tournament at all?That's also different, IMO.
New coach, new system- nothing you originally committed to.
