Re: Understanding the NIL
There is going to be a disparity between the bigger earners and the bench guys. Could cause jealousy issues within the team. But that's going to affect every team. Just another problem to deal with. Yeah Archie could take one of his 500k extension bonuses and help pay for more talent. That's up to ...

I remember when people said we would never get two bids...Not only did we get 2 bids, but both won! You can succeed in this league! Figure it out Archie!!!! Yep, we have a lot of fans on here that repeatedly refer to the A10 as a 1 bid league despite getting more than 1 bid 18 of the last 20 years.
