Re: Understanding the NIL

The athletes themselves can sell swag with their names on it....Several of our players have already done that. The University (NFP) sharing in profits with an athlete is a tax issue. Our NIL collective is set up, as a for profit, but will provide tax advice to the athletes that garner payments from...

Re: Local college basketball player being investigated by PPD

I saw a report yesterday that he was already being held at the ACI before today's hearing. Isn't it unusual for someone that supposedly doesn't have a previous record not to be released out on bail pending trial? Could also be an illegally-obtained firearm. That would add to it. Correct.

Grad transfer. Averaged 16.1 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.4 steals for Manhattan last season. 1,000 point scorer.

The FAU coach or SDSU coach would have been my choice.
They vote on this stuff pre-NCAA Tournament. That said, those coaches probably got some votes. But the last two weeks really elevated their profile.

Re: 19' MA PF Jordan Minor (Merrimack Transfer)

Minor is #40 on this list.



Honestly, I think Minor is probably best as a terrific small-ball center at the high mid-major level (think Mountain West or Atlantic-10). But if he wants to go high-major, he’ll have his chances.
