Kadary was not benched last year. My understanding is he chose not to play because Seton Hall was delivering on his NIL deal.
..and a snow ball stands a chance in hell
''players charging 6 figures for their services''. You familiar with NIL? How much do colleges make on college sports? 110,000 people bring in a boat load of revenue on a Saturday afternoon. You begrudge the players getting a piece of that pie?
I'm afraid that cat's out of the bag. These state colleges never had it so good. The donors are coming out of the woodwork.
I don’t begrudge them Tom. We live in a free market society with a free market economy. Anyone should be able to monetize their skills and be compensated as much as the market will allow. If they are creating and generating revenue then should get be able to share in that. That being said, they are basically pros now and no one should bitch , moan and complain when they are treated as such. That’s part of the deal now.
There are 352 Division 1 teams.
I'd like to see how much more revenue the schools have gotten based on the increased applications, ticket interest, and revenue increase from happy alums/fans. I personally know people who increased their contributions after pitino's hiring and we're not close to the only school with a Mike Repole. All colleges have them. You don't hear any schools complaining about it. Colleges are making the jump up in competition (Division 1 from 2 for example). You don't do that if it's losing money.
With Richond Scott and likely Smith gone, the minutes are there. Why leave? Look how well Wilcher has performed as a sophomore.
The game is now about "Moneyball."
Brooklyn kid. I'm thinking we'll bid quite well to retain him if it comes to it.
Always has been. As long as we’re not looking for discounts and there’s playing time, I don’t know why we shouldn’t feel confident about retention
Like the Corp world... assume there is a "standard-ish" increase in NIL comp year over year for those that Stay on the roster.
i don't know much about NIL, but i wonder if there's anyway to 'lock' these guys up before season ends...?
OF course they are!
Unfortunately there's no solid structure like in pro sports where you can sign a contract extension and make them "legally" off limits. But I'm sure with Matt A at the helm, we're not only well aware of what our guys are worth/being discussed but we're also being the predators. lol
the states of texas and florida, really scare me for Zuby and RJ....
It is not the guys that are getting calls from other schools but their agents who can then approach our NIL folks for an indication of "comp" next year. Coach Rick was very high on Sim after last season ended saying he was a starter this year. Coach seems open to telling a player that year one is a learning year, and P/T will be assessed based on progress. If he wants Glover to return, the kid will know it from coach chats and coach public statements.
