Just figured out and now understand what NIL means It means I’m paying NIL ! What a sham … paying for players and the ncaa laughs at you Eff that I’m paying NIL ! Just stop! You are not funny, you are adding nothing to the conversation. We get it, you are not contributing. Stop clogging up the feed...

The only good tournaments URI seems to get into more recently only seem to be when it plays at Mohegan Sun. Unfortunately that can only happen every four years. given we are coming off four straight losing seasons and do not travel well outside this area, we are not really a desirable team for tour...

Rhody Vault said we offered him 50K.

RhodyVault knows absolutely nothing about what players are being offered. Absolutely zero.

Hey everyone thanks for having me on the board. I’ve been reading for almost a decade but never felt the need to post until now. The recruiting of mostly point guards on top of the Kenny Johnson rumors in the air showed both that Kenny was gone and that Hammond was obviously never showing up. Not s...

Love it....who's next up?

LoveThoseRams

Is this the coming week where someone had posted there would be “news” ? You would think we would hear something this week regarding visits, commitments, and our assistant coach. Morgan posted on Insta a "recruiting dinner" she was going to Saturday, so someone was visiting this weekend.

LoveThoseRams

Yes. Perhaps time is here for the “haves” to break off, find their own level of paid player basketball , super conference competition. And let the “have nots” organize themselves into a less then super conferences. I guess this oversimplified view with current media contracts and all the other stuf...

But he has to do it every year. Every year is a new NIL.

If anyone would do it, Jeff would.

If they become employees do they even have to go to class and keep up a GPA? Do they even need to be students! Can you limit number of years of eligibility? Are there any limits you can put?

Doubt there will be a show to wrap up the season and the path forward, regarding NIL, portal departures and arrivals, status of KJ etc. Don’t think one was scheduled.

The collective couldn’t be more for profit.

Not tax deductible.

If you donate as a business, it can be used as marketing expense, if the student tweets about your company.

I am green with understanding NIL for this scenario: - donate $ directly to the program OR donate $ to NIL. Or both? Is there a determined formula yet? I do both. Not a huge amount to be transparent.

Since the success of a team now depends on donations from fans, the teams with the more rabid fan bases will always be the better teams. A team like Dayton averages 13,000 some fans. If one third of them donate, they're getting donations from 4300 fans or so. We average 4000 fans. If one third of u...
