Then again it shouldn't surprise me. Just reaffirms what I already thought they were.

Who is 'they' and what did you think they were?

Because he sees his playing greatly reduced? For 2 years? 78, I am starting not to think 2 years ahead and the potential implications. Which is a change for me. In year 2, If we have a traffic jam at a position and the younger player is as good as the vet then, I think we release the vet and put mo...

Good thing The Masters is holding my interest today (it looks like an exciting finish is possible) otherwise, the lack of Rhody portal commitments, news, rumors and buzz would be getting me really frustrated. Some rumors about a new assistant, too. A string of good news around the program would be ...

For those of you who have been to Tower Hill, anyone notice how loud it gets in there? Even when a quarter full it just seems so loud in there. They’re going to install acoustic tiles on the walls. It’s wicked loud agree reminds me of Ryan Center PA Agree. I was there opening night and it was very ...

Actually looks worse than awful. I can't think of any player I want to watch pitch or hit besides maybe Raffy.

They may not be knocking the cover off the ball on offense, but they're terrible on defense, too

6. Points then 2 Questions: Point #1. P5 schools get between $30 to $70 million per year from media contracts (includes Football, Basketball…).

I think the questions that focus on the operations of the Collective would be the ones that have the best chance of being answered. And maybe the questions would be pre submitted to Thor4 and Stone before any Zoom would happen or a podcast that could be posted here. The goal, I think, is for transp...

Good questions. We don’t know who would enter from year to year but Stone (as quasi GM because he knows our NIL capabilities) can start laying groundwork early in the minds of the targeted players reps/advisors to entice them to enter the portal. I am thinking Archie and staff would set parameters ...

NYGFan_Section208

Good point and I agree. I wasn’t anticipating Archie giving up decision making. I was thinking more along the lines of narrowing down the NIL requirements of target type players and specific players Archie may or would have interest in and sharing that info so he can narrow in on players quicker wh...

My experience is that decision making by committee is not effective. The scenario offered here sounds a lot like that. Good point and I agree. I wasn’t anticipating Archie giving up decision making.

Couldn't Rhody15 answer this? He states that the school can not be a part of NIL. So I would think no University employee can control where the money goes. LOL...then who the eff does?

Why the hell do you need to see how much they get? For the millionth time, If it’s $1 or $1000000, URI is allowed to contribute ZERO to NIL. But continue bringing this up!

Can coaches donate? If so maybe Archie should donate some of the $500,000 bonus he just received.

I can hold it against him, someone threw you a lifeline and a $250,000 a year job(doing what you love)…show some loyalty. Life is not all about money…maybe it is. What do I know.

Somewhere this NIL thing went off the rails. I don’t know what to think anymore. The players wanting and getting their piece of the pie has turned into a God awful mess.

My question is, what is so great about Calipari lately? The guy has done nothing in recent years, with basically an unlimited support system.
