But now you struck out on Pack, and you're going to have to rely on 3 freshmen for depth...good luck with that...

jv1972iu Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 So, this NIL thing means basketball will be more entertaining or less entertaining? I mean, that's what we're talking about here...right? Because, college basketball in its present state is really bad...as in hard to watch. So, the debate is whether NIL will improve the entertainment level or not. Personally, I think it doesn't really matter much one way or the other. Because we can't do anything to stop the changes happening to the game and the players. One old geezer's opinion. 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMAO probably...for some reason when you wrote "I am tired of listening and seeing everyone discuss Purdue" I thought of the famous Bob Knight halftime speech where he says "I'm sick and effing tired of losing to Purdue." I then decided to transform his halftime speech into a rant about the NIL and Purdue. Edited April 25, 2022 by SawatchHoosier 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FKIM01 Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 Found this quote by Nigel Pack interesting and revealing... “I chose Miami because Coach L is a great coach and he allows his guards to get up and down and play with lots of freedom." "Oh, who the hell am I kidding...for the cheddar they offered, I would have played for Patrick Ewing." 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One old geezer's opinion. 😂 I think there’s a lot of over-reacting going on….you’d think that college sports will cease to exist in 10 years. Just like the transfer portal, things may take a bit to settle in, but I’m honestly not concerned about it that much. Many keep on saying that blue bloods like Kansas and Kentucky will have an unfair advantage (although they’ve already had an unfair advantage for the last 20+ years, but that is beside the point), but look at the schools where the players with the highest NIL deals have landed: Tennessee State and Miami. Not exactly basketball powerhouses. Heck, I believe the highest NIL deal in college sports belongs to that LSU gymnast. I really wonder how much of this contempt is coming from deep rooted personal opinions about what a kid ‘deserves’. Envy that a “kid who hasn’t done much in life other than having the god given ability to play a sport is going to make 10 times as much as you when you’re been working your ass off for years”. Well, too bad, so sad. Ironically it’s our interest in college sports that’s now going to pay their salaries. Our interest in sports makes them valuable. Us, the guys posting on message boards.

We’ll pick someone up in the portal or Hunter may come back. I’d be shocked if the roster we have now is the final one you’ll see in the fall. Like I said before, Sasha already had multiple NIL deals last year. He had been in school 5 years and was ready to move on. Nothing wrong with that at all.

iuswingman Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) 12 hours ago, KoB2011 said: But most the complaints I see about the NIL aren’t that the dams broke, it’s that the players are kidding paid at all. I mean, I’m this very thread numerous posters still claim a scholarship is fair compensation. if someone gave me the choice of coming as a student and paying thousands of dollars each year to do so or coming as a player and getting to be a student for free, free housing, free food, and academic support....i'd take the latter in a second. It is fair compensation. It has been pointed out how much coaches make and saying it's unfair that players don't make anything. But it's not that players were not making enough, it's that salaries for coaches are getting completely absurd. Instead of paying players, they should have looked at reigning in salaries that coaches are getting. Maybe instead of paying coaches and their staffs millions of dollars, we could put that towards the ever increasing tuition costs that NON-PLAYERS have to pay.
