Then it will come out and recruits wont take them seriously. Thats why I think, if true, they have every reason to make it happen.so what happens when he gets there and it ends up being nowhere close to $1M?

Congrats on always being pessimistic!There was a reason I slept with my full body cup on. Saw this coming 100 times over.
And this is different to how it’s always been how exactly?Really not liking the way NIL is currently changing things…
so the best teams in college year after year will be the teams that make the most money for NILs…
Pack it up… I no longer have any sports I enjoy watching
What if fans turn off college basketball because of this stuff and ratings plummet? Seems $ could crowd out school pride, spirit.Is a player more valuable playing in the G league, or at a college? Fans love college ball far more, so it seems likely IMO that the money will be there.
Exactly what I was thinking, especially against UK and possibly tOSUIf we got significantly outbid for Garcia (whether or not the other teams’ projections are accurate or not) it’s really easy to see where this Kofi thing is going.
Yeah, I wouldn’t hold out much hope there lol unless we quickly change our tune and offer the big man whatever it is he wants to hear. Add a 0 or 2 to the projections, idgafExactly what I was thinking, especially against UK and possibly tOSU
I’m not at all. But when everyone thought he was going to announce us on Tuesday, then Wednesday, then 0440 leaves and late night Twitter started rumbling I just had a feeling what was happening. Especially when we are going up against UNC.Congrats on always being pessimistic!
Look, if he goes to UK, fine. I get it.Exactly what I was thinking, especially against UK and possibly tOSU
If he ends up at Ohio State I will be banned from this siteLook, if he goes to UK, fine. I get it.
If he goes to OSU, he's persona non grata as far as I'm concerned.
Not sure exactly how we could low-ball that when those dollars come from third parties. Unless I'm missing something, those "offers" are really at the mercy of said external groups.Keeping Kofi has been the staff's number one priority the last week-could have caused them to maybe low ball the nil number to Garcia. We will see what happens with the big fella now...
I just assumed that @illini0440 caught wind of this and abandoned ship so as not to deal with the eventual blowback from those around here who take this way too seriously.Well, I can totally see how 0440 doesn't want to participate in this new world now.
Nobody will be able to tell what is what.
Wild Wild West indeed.
more of unc giving out unrealistic numbers and we were not willing to do the same and gave Garcia a much more realistic numberNot sure exactly how we could low-ball that when those dollars come from third parties.

Yes. Maybe I don’t understand the market at all, but hard seeing maybe 3rd or 4th option on UNC, with no prior history at the school and no independent national brand (a la Zion) being worth 7 figures in endorsements. But then again, what’s the downside of UNC’s “puffery”?more of unc giving out unrealistic numbers and we were not willing to do the same and gave Garcia a much more realistic number

That's a better play for us in the long run, if true. A program that habitually over-promises will get a reputation.more of unc giving out unrealistic numbers and we were not willing to do the same and gave Garcia a much more realistic number
That was my first thought also that something was amiss and the heat from the non positive crowd would be too much to put up with.....I just assumed that @illini0440 caught wind of this and abandoned ship so as not to deal with the eventual blowback from those around here who take this way too seriously.
Maybe. But it be any different than programs in the last wining at all cost now and not worrying about ramifications down the road?That's a better play for us in the long run, if true. A program that habitually over-promises will get a reputation.
