Besides the potential revenue sharing ideas that have been floated....and maybe revenue sharing if the teams make the tourney,etc....what if the NCAA went the opposite to try and corral the portal. Offer some figure where if a kid stays years with same team, graduates they are eligible for some bonus? Have it jointly paid by school collectives and the billions the NCAA has in their warchest. Now the amount has to be substantial enough to make them stay and maybe that would be a deterrent from kids job hopping. Kind of like a retention bonus here in the "real" world. I don't think there's any rule against putting that in an NIL deal. You get paid X per year, but if you stay for two years, you get Y, three years and you get Z, etc etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Seeking6 Posted April 28 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 28 I didn't want to post this in any of the other threads so I'll throw it here. First...I absolutely don't like the current NIL model and what college sports has become recruiting wise. Secondly...I'd prefer for us to not have to do an offseason like this one again if we can. I mean I know we'll always be adding 1-2 portal guys but hopefully no more. Finally my point though. Huge kudos and congrats to all of us who donate $ to help our NIL program. Whether it's $50, $5000 or $50,000 we all helped in some fashion in nailing this portal season. Was out having beers with buddies yesterday and one of them is a Carolina guy. His buddy is a Duke guy who hauled with the "IU just buying a team" stuff. Before I could inject my two cents the Carolina guy says....slow that down. He goes in the NIL world if there was one sleeping giant out there most knew it was IU. They are just now able to play the game we've all been playing for decades. Thought people might like to hear some outsiders perspective. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I identify with both of those positions. I read this somewhere and have stole it and posted it many times. You can build a team through the portal, but you can’t build a program through the portal. We seem to have built a team this offseason, I just hope it translates into building a program. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very fair for sure and for the most part I agree....although until the NIL is figured out would you rather spend resources on a proven 2-3 year vet or a top 30 kid out of high school? I know the blend is what I want but not sure what's possible anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm right there with you. I absolutely hate the NIL and the farce it makes of amateur sports, but since it's not going away, I'm at least appreciative of how it's leveled the playing field and taken away the biggest cheating element in college sports. I find it laughable that the NCAA has a tampering "rule" that appears even less effective than the pro version. Now, all that's left is to eliminate the requirement for the athletes to attend classes. Let the ones go that want to and let the rest stay in the gym. If you require ANY class,it should be of the personal finance variety. Help these kids hang onto the money they make and otherwise, let them learn their sport. It's silly to pretend that most of these elite athletes have any interest in the classroom. Eventually, I could see teams only affiliated to schools via sponsorship.

That’s why the guy I am the most excited about coming in is the true freshman who’s name escapes me now. We need the Wares and Rices, that’s modern college basketball. I still believe we need the Sisleys and Mullins too, the 3-4 year guys you build culture and stability with. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they really can't control NIL, I look for them to try to exert more control over the portal and transfers...I think they'll get plenty of support from coaches and administrators on that...
