Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25

It’s much more Portal and unlimited player movement than NIL. The kids deserve to be paid but the source of the funds ultimately should be coming primarily from fans. That isn’t killing interest.

The answer is ditch the NIT and make more “first four” games. I am fine with the “first four” games. You could easily make it 8 games or 12 game it still wouldn’t bother me. Let the bubble teams battle it out.
