Each individual fan should do what they are comfortable with. Personally, I am not going to go back to work to fund the NIL contract of a great college basketball player. The program needs all the fans it has and more. I would never throw shade at someone for just buying tickets and doing 50/50 raf...

Rhody Excellence is the collective for women's and men's basketball only. Other teams can and some do have their own NIL group. Got it. Does the donor get to decide if their RE donation goes to men's or women's hoops? If so, and all want their cash to go to the men's team, will the collective face ...

Sorry, long day of lawyering. I am saying that article does not prove that the Collective is now contacting recruits. And I will tell you with confidence that I do not believe that the Collective is contacting recruits. So, who directs the money? Who decides if it goes to football, or mens hoops, o...

This is not a secret. As a result of these preliminary injunctions, the NCAA recalled their previous institutional Rules for NIL. A quick google search will also show you what the prior NCAA restrictions were. This is not dispositive of the fact that Rhody Excellence is not contracting recruits. To...

This kind of mentality is the end of college sports.

MOST successful...

Keep digging into it like this....and you're going to ruin the scam :lol: :lol: LOL.

This is not a secret. As ...

I’m know they’re not out recruiting kids, I’m just saying there’s no way kids are committing here before knowing what they’re getting in NIL money. Oh yeah 100%.

Would think Bobby's financial situation is in a lot better position after nine seasons making several million annually at ASU.
