If this really is about name, image and likeness, why don't the players get the TV money? After all, it's their names, images and likenesses we see on the TV screen. somehow NCAA has avoided paying players and left it up to the fans have to admit.. its a genius move... https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Come on slackers

78s I understand your sentiment. I wrestle with it myself. I too long for the time when we could bring in a two or three star freshman, have them stay 4 years and develop into an all A10 player. The time of enticing them with fancy locker and weight rooms, and living down the line are gone. Its bec...

Yes it is my fault we didn’t get to keep Hammond Ok, now I can sleep at night Thank you for pointing that out I just hope those who have given ransom money are sleeping ok too now that our cornerstone prize recruit just left us at the altar And that’s the issue - you comit money to players who don’t...

Yes - you nailed it

I have been posting since the projo days and the gig is finally up - I’m a fraud

Pls - the only fraud here are the “commitments”

To me, donating to the NIL is kind of like making a campaign contribution. I may donate $100 bucks or whatever, but at the end of the day it’s the deep pockets that will drive any meaningful impact. You're not wrong, but if everyone on this board had the same opinion as you, it would matter a lot. ...

ElmCityRhody

And why I will never ever pay

What a joke

ElmCityRhody

Archie is not doing things on fans' timeline. Lets see what the staff and roster looks like when it's done. Potential benefits to waiting. Still more players to hit the portal and some of the better players still to come. Available playing time is a good selling point. Agree to judge Archie and his...

well done NCAA

i think we need more size

ElmCityRhody

you forgot about coaches i wanted to CUT BAIT on... LOL yeah, its called being a fan.. and a "fanatic" - and being a fanatic doesn't necessarily equate to being rational its not about choosing between my bills and NIL per se.. its more on principle and not paying a college kid to play for ...

ElmCityRhody

Disappointing to see the number "no"s. Especially from some of the biggest complainers on this message board... ditto.. no more being a "fan" and wearing your heart on your sleeve for our beloved Rams if you aren't "committed" into giving money to a college kid with no...

ElmCityRhody

If Hammond leaves then that might be the final straw

ElmCityRhody

Better bring your bricks - that always was stupid anyways

ElmCityRhody

Luis and Ways - yawn... they didnt make my cut Luis was the most clutch player on our team. He was a leader and had some great games. I don't think he's a starter on a top-four A10 team, but having a guy who can run the point and play off the ball is great. Ok - good point - bench is fine but I pre...

Trust the process. -16 days till the Portal closes. i don't care of he is stealth if we get the results problem is.. anyone can sound good "on paper" but we really won't know if they will produce here... i prefer the good ole days when you actually knew the players you have returning...

Yeah eff him

Show him

Question: if NIL is soooooo important to you - will you ditch the black shower curtain for seats and use the revenue towards the NIL ?… or will continue to act like a fool in giving prime real estate to the press like we are John wooden’s UCLA teams ??

Love it

Guys - I started my own NIL account for fans

You can either donate or subscribe to me

Venmo to follow and remember the more you donate the more I will cheer for Rhody

Question- if I donate 10x more than another poster am I allowed 10x more rants after my money goes toward a player that doesn’t care to play defense or show any heart ?? I think we should have a limit on posts based on the money given - I mean that’s what I was told previously … zero $ = no right to...

ElmCityRhody

To the undecided - if you don’t contribute then you have no right to watch or criticize the team because you decided not to pay the salary for a college player who is also getting a free education

ElmCityRhody

or you can simply not move at all.. unless NIL improved, many fans will leave the sport its the haves and the have nots congrats NCAA i have better things to do with my money than pay a college players salary to entertain me so, technically i am moving forward w/ my life vs spending $ on someone els...

And every year the core improves they’ll want a raise…I just see no way we can keep a core 4 together without basically doubling your NIL budget every year. And if our core players aren’t good enough that bigger programs don’t try and poach them, then will we ever be as good as we want? Everyone(el...

I am very reluctantly considering donating, but one thing (many actually do) keeps bothering me about this. Let’s use our new freshman PG as an example, say he ends up starting next year and is as good as we hope, maybe even better…A10 rookie of the year, will we realistically have the $500,000 plu...

What is it called if you invest money for a players returns (returns meaning wins for rhody) only to find out that player is fictitious and never plays for you and therefore no return is made on the aforementioned player ?… nevermind… I’ll ask the penn state guy LOL
