Think we add him to the mix?
I'm getting dizzy with all these added names and few commitments, lol.
And by no means am I picking on our great HC, but this process has become CUCKOO NEST--$$$'s insane.
'Whoever' this guy is, he probably wants CUCKOO-$$'s for his 'services'.

I think this is the thing the NCAA and the Big 5 schools can easily agree on. Create a system where a commitment out of high school is a two year commitment only pending if there is a head coaching change (but this would count towards the free transfer); one free transfer no exceptions; medical redshirts allowed; fifth year eligibility allowed if graduate within four years.
Transfer again and play right away? NCAA says no, but coaches are wary of enforcement
If the NCAA doesn’t take a firm stance on transfer rules, "they may as well just close the doors in Indy."

Stop making sense
I like your idea DK, but the even darker side of this NIL-$$$ insanity is that the Power Schools breakaway and create their own Pay-for-$$$$$$'s-Play universe, turn these players into professionals that wear the schools' jerseys, but don't even attend classes, and the NCA's 'March Madness' turns into a Junior Prom for all other colleges.
Hope 'something; stops them, but what can?

Should just do away with the transfer waiver and tell them to use their one free transfer wisely or else what’s the point.Transfer again and play right away? NCAA says no, but coaches are wary of enforcement

They won't do anything the next 10 years until the March Madness TV contract is up -- which I think the consensus is that it was way too long of a contract and not nearly enough money.
After that, the power conferences can very well do that -- which I think is why the NCAA is acting with such trepidation. I do think, however, unlike with football, the power conferences understand that March Madness is the real money maker more than anything else in college hoops, so keeping that branding and tournament is a huge incentive to stick with the NCAA. But they're going to want to keep a NIL system around -- which can work if there were actual clear, consistent rules and transparency about it.

Out of morbid curiosity, does anyone know what the 'average big east' starter makes through NIL collectives? I get the feeling in lower than Twittermania would lead us to believe, but I have earthly idea.

This is why I don't give a crap about losing players anymore.
Imo, only three players from last season were worth NIL compensation, Posh, Soriano and an emerging Storr.
All the others would find it hard to become starters on any other power 5 team.
Posh and Storr were not asked to enter the portal but were concerned with their playing time, roles and NIL.
Technically, any NIL compensation cannot be directly arranged by the coaching staff. It's a third party scam.
However, playing time and roles are solely the decision of the coach. The problem that us rearing its ugly head in college basketball is similar to what we see now in professional basketball, e.i., the players trying to have more influence than the coach in games.
Screw that!
If a kid thinks he is better than the other kids on the team, they need to prove it in practices and in games.
CMA made the mistake of allowing transfers to control game situations with Curbelo and Jones. Eventually he had to sit both in game situations.
Hence, the Posh Appreciation thread was an example of how fans can be made to feel beholding to players who, in reality, don't feel beholding to the coach, the fans and least of all, to the university for the opportunity to attend college cost free.

Hunter Sallis to Wake Forest.
I wish people would stop saying it’s all about the money. USC has money, maybe the young man, for his own personal reasons, wants a different environment. None of us really know.
Thanks for putting us back on track, BB.
I get your view Panther and want to agree, but how about we say it's mostly about $$$'s for many of these players--whom I do not blame for seizing an opportunity to make big $$$'s for their skills at this time in their careers.
Most of us have used leverage to enhance in our careers to enhance their compensation.
Employers do--why can't employees?
Think we saw this coming but nonetheless
Was WVU the only school Battle visited?
I think the frustration that I am beginning to feel is that relatively speaking at least for next season it clearly seems that mostly all we have to offer is Pitino and if anything it feels Iike I could understand a kid taking a little less money to go to a beautiful campus so it seems for a while we have to be at the top of the NIL market for more players then we would have hoped.
