Re: Rhody Rehab is Open
How do we know that House and Green are coming back? There is no need for them to enter the portal if they plan on trying to make money overseas. Overseas money vs. NIL money isn't a crazy delta anymore, is it? Somebody recently posted what the average salary is overseas. I don't remember the numbe...
