Imagine if NBA, MLB or NFL went to one year contracts. It would be crazy but very entertaining. Unions would be against it as multiyear guaranteed contracts are more beneficial to players than the team. Lonzo got $80M for half a season.

Not that I'm doubting what the insiders are saying but I'll believe it when I see it. We have had a few guys supposedly lined up that didn't happen.
Yeah I hear you. I have no idea how "lined up" things actually are. My point was only that, I don't think Storr was plan A anymore, and that NIL money seemed to have been earmarked for these 2 other guys and thus not available for Maddox even though Storr is off the board.

I am very glad Illinois has mostly benefited from the new Wild West of college sports, but if college hoops is effectively going to become pro ball anyway, we should have the same contracts they have in the pros, as well. An NBA player can't just leave for a new team every single year, lol.
I think contracts seem like the easy fix...but get ready for the unions. I'm not sure any of us are ready for a college basketball strike.

I sure hope some new big names enter the portal soon. No use "saving" all this NIL money if there's no one left that's worth spending it on.

They can if they want to… just sign a one-year deal. They don’t because you have less security (you don’t want to get hurt and be left without a contract after the season)

if spencer got declined what makes you think we have a chance that domask is back? We would be in a perfect spot if we got him back

I’m not confident … But I think there’s a chance …

May or may not have spoken with Domask’s representation … I like what I was told …

It’s the NCAA … But the NCAA has been getting their 🍑 handed to them in court …
