Who makes the decisions on amount each player gets? Couldn't Rhody15 answer this? He states that the school can not be a part of NIL. So I would think no University employee can control where the money goes. LOL...then who the eff does? And if the school, or the coach, isn't deciding who gets paid ...

Why the hell do you need to see how much they get? For the millionth time, If it’s $1 or $1000000, URI is allowed to contribute ZERO to NIL. But continue bringing this up! Maybe it’ll make the rule change! The reason I keep bringing this up, is because I want to know how much URI gets on the media ...

Can coaches donate? If so maybe Archie should donate some of the $500,000 bonus he just received. He could consider it a investment in himself since it could help his coaching career get going again and out of the downward spiral Have it be like CE credits that many professionally licensed folks ne...

I can hold it against him, someone threw you a lifeline and a $250,000 a year job(doing what you love)…show some loyalty. Life is not all about money…maybe it is. What do I know.

@JohnKurkjian_ 29m In case there was still any doubt by the way, sources have seen Kenny Johnson on campus in the last few days. As I’ve said from the beginning, he is the hire.

Somewhere this NIL thing went off the rails. I don’t know what to think anymore. The players wanting and getting their piece of the pie has turned into a God awful mess. The players are getting the same amount of 'that' pie that they've always got. If they were getting some of that pie, it probably...

My question is, what is so great about Calipari lately? The guy has done nothing in recent years, with basically an unlimited support system.

Imagine having an NBA point guard on your roster and playing him off the ball so a sub 30% shooter could jack up 6 a game.

Imagine having an NBA point guard on your roster and playing him off the ball so a sub 30% shooter could jack up 6 a game. That all stemmed from the deal to make Cox the coach in waiting.

Somebody suggested college teams need GMs now. I think they're right. Might as well add a separate department for scouting, scouts who can go around the country looking at players during the season when the assistants are busy actually coaching. Might as well create some new positions. It's basical...

A good thing about the portal is if you don’t get your guy now, there’s a good chance you will get another crack at landing him later. In the words of Gordon Gekko, recruiting never sleeps.

If a player like Joseph commands 500k we are screwed. I seriously doubt that number though. 100k tops. It's like everyone has a price tag attached to them. It's gotten beyond ridiculous. Everyone has a price tag. With (very) rare exception though...no one knows what's written on that price tag

Hearing that Bassy is high on Fordham’s radar. That would be perfect.
