Zlinedavid Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 10 minutes ago, iuswingman said: That doesn't make the salaries and NIL amounts any less ridiculous The NIL situation is what it is. People wanted to clutch their pearls and say "It's wrong to pay STUDENT-athletes" rather than realize that the big names were getting paid under the table anyway and put regulations in. So now it's a bidding war, and the definition of "ridiculous" is in the same hands that are writing the checks. But just eliminating it and saying coaches can only make less than a McDonald's GM isn't the answer either. They tried banning alcohol 100 years ago and people were drunker than ever. Put a cap on salaries and it's just getting pushed to subterranean channels. But that'd be alright, as long as we didn't hear about it...right?

I have been at the point where we need more BBIQ and winners like coach cig says about football. We need more players with smart tough play and BB IQ that are proven winners. A lot of these low level kids have won state titles or been close. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NGL though, the comment/post sounded RIGHT up your alley. Which I found hilarious. You didn't guarantee anything with Conwell/Hickman and weren't saying anything "everyone" else was. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we 'feel' is right, wrong, too much or not enough does not correlate into what reality is. You have the right to complain about it, but at the end of the day it's irrelevant. College athletic departments make a LOT of money. Good coaches and good players are in high demand because a winning product is lucrative for the athletic departments, the tv channels and the advertisers.. Thus, a percentage of this outrageously high revenue is paid to coaches and players. And rightfully so, I mean, they are the product everybody pays to see. And even on top of all that, college basketball and football fund pretty much all other sports at their universities, giving athletes in other sports more opportunities. We - all the fanatics on this board - are a reason why the revenue is so high. If you 'feel' that there's too much money in college athletics then stop giving them money with your viewership. It's all about supply and demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think MM sliding over to the 4 is where the lineup will go when Malik or Ballo come out of the game. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell. Certainly has upside Completely different. Sparks was smaller and played below the rim more than he did anything else. Malone is 6'10 with a 7'4 wingspan. He shot 63% from the field, 37% from the 3 point line, and 81% from the FT line not to mention he dunks everything he can. There would be some adjustment going to D1 but his shooting will translate if nothing else. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
