[QUOTE="the juiceman cometh, post: 1676147, member: 747321"] It's all conjecture but I don't think Kofi would be much of a marketing draw abroad. The reason basketball salaries are so low there is that soccer is king, and even in Europe and Asia fans care way more about the NBA than their own domestic leagues. And nobody over there cares about NCAA basketball. And if he pulls in less than $100k over the course of this entire season then either 1. Our program is doing very poorly in NIL or 2. College basketball stars have very little marketing value. I don't really think either of those things is true. [/QUOTE]
