We aren’t getting Liddell… I thought we cleared this up alreadyAny thoughts on Quincy Guerrier, we're in his final 4. If we can't get Mitchell or Liddell seems a good match.
Never say Never lol. What about Guerrier?We aren’t getting Liddell… I thought we cleared this up already
Yes, and that’s kind of the point. If you’re a hyper successful athlete, you should be compensated for your accomplishments. That should go across the board, for revenue sports and non-revenue sports for all NCAA schools in every division.Exactly. Every minor sport will demand to be paid.
Will a school be able to charge an athlete a licensing fee for the use use of the school’s logo as part of an athlete’s marketing of that athlete’s image?
So ........................................... Chin was never a factor? No loss at IL!!
Has anyone ever seen Hutch and Chuck in the same room together??Do you also think Chuck Norris hates that everyone tells jokes about how unstoppable and otherworldly he is? That he is literally the poster-child for universal cool, and awesome? That's how I see all of the Hutch jokes. We love the guy!
I agree the players deserve some of that revenue! However the success of the team is a group effort and not just solely because of one or two players. Even though those one or two players may have a more disproportionate impact towards the success of the team. There needs to be some uniformity in the earnings for these amateur student athletes. I think there should be a cap on the amount of earnings that can be paid and given to the athletes like a stipend. They generate way too much revenue for the schools to be struggling to survive while in school. It's only right to give them some!The universities brought that problem on themselves. If you pay well below market, don't offer multi-year contracts or guarantees, the athletes are going to look a lot less loyal even though they are not the cause --it's the employer. Loyalty is a two way street --so if you bring in the #1 rated h.s. athlete for a schollie, when the free market puts that at six figures plus a schollie, then don't be surprised if he feels grossly underpaid. We know from the countless scandals, leaks, and investigations, that a lot of loyalty comes from the goodwill of boosters recognizing the gap and figuring out ways to make up for it. Whatever you might think of that system, the athletes, and the administrators that designed this cluster!@#$, it's a laughingstock. It's a model that incentivizes scandals and going around the rules. And boy oh boy is there plenty of that.
These issues get a lot more muddy as you go down the talent pool. I'm not suggesting it explains the massive amount of transfers, but I think it's a significant factor in the upper tier, and even as you drop down there are still plenty of guys who over-performed their initial college selection that want an upgrade in the program/amenities.
I'd like to think the NCAA will move towards a more equitable model, but history says they only move when public opinion is so loud that states like California pass laws to force them into allowing the athletes get some of the revenue. With the pace of change in the business end of college athletics, I'm not sure things will settle down any time soon, either.
Let's go! I-L-L!
Weeeellllllll that was nice but he will have to do that over a 6'5 to 6'10 guy who can jump out of the gym and not a 5'10 buddy of his. Just sayin.....
i disagree that is the point, or should be the point. If we are now saying this should be treated like a business (I’m a finance guy) and saying since the university makes money the athletes should get some of it. The minor sports lose money, so why would those athletes get paid? In their case their scholarship is more than the benefit of revenue they bring in. For revenue sports, sure, let them reap the reward. Just like why the WNBA does not get big salaries - they don’t bring in big revenue.Yes, and that’s kind of the point. If you’re a hyper successful athlete, you should be compensated for your accomplishments. That should go across the board, for revenue sports and non-revenue sports for all NCAA schools in every division.
Imagine local schools being able to make a pitch to a hometown kid with endorsement deals, or guaranteed contracts post graduation for employment, with signing bonuses included upfront as a down payment? That benefits a lot of people, and I see no harm in that. They’re being compensated for their skills, while also going to school full time.
In the case of elite athletes, think Ayo Dosunmu, they’re basically doing two full-time jobs. They are working on their passion multiple hours a day (treatment, weights, treatment, practice, treatment, and that’s before class), and, did I mention, that’s before class?***
Now think of how this could benefit lower division athletes and their programs? Nothing wrong with community businesses getting involved, if you’re playing the long game.
Obviously, that’s the much more sentimental example than the reality that is the thick dark sludge of major NCAA recruiting.
*** Well aware that major D1 athletes have tutors and the like. I’m a D3 guy, if you couldn’t tell, we didn’t have any of that fancy stuff.
Dunk is cool, but it’s his shooting that should get him on the floor this year
And, even if it was the NBA I believe that double-dribble would be called.Weeeellllllll that was nice but he will have to do that over a 6'5 to 6'10 guy who can jump out of the gym and not a 5'10 buddy of his. Just sayin.....
Ummm... Podz is pretty much 6'6, and after the dunk when they are standing next to each other, the other guy doesn't look that much shorter...definitely not 5'10, maybe 6'2 or 6'3Weeeellllllll that was nice but he will have to do that over a 6'5 to 6'10 guy who can jump out of the gym and not a 5'10 buddy of his. Just sayin.....
NIL agreements wouldn't necessarily be coming from the schools. They would be coming from businesses, either large corporations (EA Sports, Nike, etc.) or community based advertisement deals. The smaller local deals would be the norm, while your stud recruits and athletes would get more corporate attention.i disagree that is the point, or should be the point.

I won’t get into whether it could benefit athletes or if it would be nice for them to get paid. That’s open for personal opinion.
Interesting because Orlando taking the credit too!Not according to Chin. What a self promoter!! He just got Tyty to pick UK.

I anticipate this being perceived as a gender equity issue, as it will benefit primarily, if not exclusively, male athletes.i disagree that is the point, or should be the point.

BoredomWhat's going on with the board the last few days? It's been a clown car of dumb takes.
247 confirms that Chin recruited TytyInteresting because Orlando taking the credit too!
