Zach knows
! The guy who wrote the Sim loyalty article ten days before he bolted?!Really?
The notion that Zach works for the school is even funnier. Ask any fired SJ coach what he thinks of that idea….
Fact is this staff does not leak. Unlike past regimes.

Adam was told this by his wife who is tired of him talking about this and finished by saying Not another word about this Captain Jack kid!
Thank God we have a 72 year old coach who was able to adapt and prosper under this new system. In an instant we've seen salaries (yea, salaries) skyrocket.
A few years ago I asked a dear friend who is a realtor what a waterfront piece of property was worth. He said, "Whatever someone is willing to pay". That's where we are now with NIL.
For the most part I believe, winning is secondary to players to $$ and a place where they can put up numbers (under the guise of thrive). It makes this whole thing crazier than the pros because we have fixed finite careers college now of 4 years, then a mostly unlikely shot at the nba. At least in the nba the outlook can be as much as 20 years in the extreme. In college there is no long term plan for a player. You have 4 years to cash in, however you define cadhing in.
Murkier is where the money comes from. The fates of top NIL schools is now held by a precious few - incredibly wealthy individuals with passive annual incomes that can be in the hundreds of millions. Piss one off, and your program takes a huge hit. So, like it or not, schools have to romance their new franchise owners.
The players going out bother me. I liked them, especially the talented solid citizen types. Who comes in I never fretted over till they were signed sealed delivered.
The value of information thing is a pain in the ass frankly. Lots of people, fans mostly, but some with less important ties to the program then they believe, like to communicate "inside info". I get it, when fans want to know, and you know something, just to project that you know something feeds ego. The only people that are really important are those who pay the bills. That's the reality.
So whether player X Is coming, I don't care a whole lot until he is signed. I know it's important to our record for an upcoming season. But the only really important things in college sports right now is who is coaching the players and who is paying for them. If you have enough players will come.
Those advent and introduction of the huge salary providers have dwarfed everyone else. Think of how one person providing $1-5 million of NIL annually means as much as 500 times what a $10,000 supporter provides.
With rev share, Harvard with a $50 billion endowment, could eadily put a $25 roster on the court to compete for championships. Except for the fact that an ncaa championship would do nothing for the school revenue wise. But they are one of only a handful of schools in their category. Big state schools can and will blow salaries to higher and higher levels till reform puts limits on it.
But I digress. Half of these posts either claiming to know something or chastising people who say they do but don't are just annoying. Both groups are just propping themselves up.
This whole thing sucks. Save for one player, we will begin next season with just one returning top 7 rotation player. No wonder Jay Wright opted for a microphone rather than deal with this. At least I get to listen to a broadcaster who really knows basketball.
