Re: Random NIL thoughts
I can envision a day when I no longer follow men’s college basketball. Then later on not following women’s college basketball. Then finally FCS football. No more season tickets. No more single game tickets. No donations to Rhody athletics. No contributions to $NIL. No reading Keaney Blue.

Re: URIMBB Season Tix - KB who’s in?
I’m in. Like every year since 1982. A proud alum season ticket holder. I’m not here for having them just to be entertained.
Big changes in college sports may ultimately drive me away sadly.

Re: Random NIL thoughts
I believe most coaches are better at roster construction with a $4M NIL budget than a with a $400K budget.
Hard to assess coaches who were previously successful in light of this paradigm shift if they can’t be competitive financially

Random NIL thoughts
NIL seems to have become the be all end all of college basketball at the level we would like to compete. By that I mean that we dream of being an NCAA tournament team on a semi regular basis. Once every couple of years. With the amount of NIL $ I think we have I don’t think that is a realistic hope ...

This recruiting year we are in now and next year’s won/loss record will show us if Miller has the skill set to be successful in this new age of men’s college basketball. 3 straight dismal years would show the formula for success has changed too much for him.
