Indiana Basketball Weekly W/Steve Risley: Is the NIL good or bad for College Sports

Without listening, gee...I wonder what Steve Risley thinks...🤣

I'd bet a lot that his take will be that both are bad for college basketball...and he'd have a point, just not one that I agree with.  My personal take is that NIL, while ridiculous at times, has definitely taken away the unfair illegal advantage that a few programs had in the past.  On the whole, as a purist, I don't like it either, Steve, but I can see where it's helped programs that have been at least mostly clean in the past.

The transfer portal maybe needs tightened up a bit, but it's OK.  I have a feeling that Antonio Reeves found out the hard way that it's not as free as he thought it was.  I suspect you'll see the portal numbers come down some in the future as kids who made an early leap realize it's a lot harder to make a second one.  That might make some kids think long and hard about their initial choices and just as hard about making a leap to another program.

Why are these deserving of their own thread? Seems better suited to a post in the NIL thread - one that will go largely ignored, I might add. The one time I listened to his show, I gave him 10 minutes and he had less actual basketball content than most one paragraph posts on here.

That Mike guy seems to have roid rage without the muscular effects of roids. He's so angry about everything....even though I agree with him for the most part on NIL, it makes it hard to watch.
