Bottom line is that y’all need to donate more - if you don’t you aren’t a real fan … so pony up for bassy or any other castoffs … skip that daily cup of coffee and instead donate to players - but don’t ask for a cut of the gate … after all you aren’t the owners of the stock you are purchasing - you ...

I just watched a Traore vid and interview while he was at SJ. He looks the part of a good big: tall, chiseled, moves his feet well. But his lack of production doesn’t align with his measurables. So what’s the deal with him ? Low basketball IQ ? Low motivation ? Can’t take good coaching ? Is he a la...

You are defiant on this aren't you? You think fans should pay for players and the schools reap the benefits? Well, I'm sure you weren't a frequent visitor to Ballentine Hall. Just watch what happens. It's gonna be fun for me. Not so much for Olympic sports in the USA or URI. But I'll let the USOC d...

Phew - I am off the hook !

So it seems fan funded NIL is already a thing of the past. Absolutely no way we can generate enough ground roots NIL money to now not only compete against another schools fan funded collective, now we have to compete with the universities too! Now personally I think the universities and the NCAA sh...

$ounds to me like $ not well $pent

commit to URI and I will commit to the player

How clueless do you have to be to look at this whole situation and come away thinking the players are the ones who are greedy. There is some crazy thought among people on this board and writ large that the scholarship should be enough. Student-athletes at the D1 level are working two jobs. One as a...

ElmCityRhody

this is equal ?

doesn't feel equal when our best recruit leaves after committing to us

ElmCityRhody

hell yeah.. i cheered for you louder than most other players !

keep shooting then straight !

If this really is about name, image and likeness, why don't the players get the TV money? After all, it's their names, images and likenesses we see on the TV screen. somehow NCAA has avoided paying players and left it up to the fans have to admit.. its a genius move... https://www.youtube.com/watch...

78s I understand your sentiment. I wrestle with it myself. I too long for the time when we could bring in a two or three star freshman, have them stay 4 years and develop into an all A10 player. The time of enticing them with fancy locker and weight rooms, and living down the line are gone. Its bec...

Yes it is my fault we didn’t get to keep Hammond Ok, now I can sleep at night Thank you for pointing that out I just hope those who have given ransom money are sleeping ok too now that our cornerstone prize recruit just left us at the altar And that’s the issue - you comit money to players who don’t...

Yes - you nailed it

I have been posting since the projo days and the gig is finally up - I’m a fraud

Pls - the only fraud here are the “commitments”

ElmCityRhody

To me, donating to the NIL is kind of like making a campaign contribution. I may donate $100 bucks or whatever, but at the end of the day it’s the deep pockets that will drive any meaningful impact. You're not wrong, but if everyone on this board had the same opinion as you, it would matter a lot. ...

ElmCityRhody

And why I will never ever pay

What a joke

ElmCityRhody

Archie is not doing things on fans' timeline. Lets see what the staff and roster looks like when it's done. Potential benefits to waiting. Still more players to hit the portal and some of the better players still to come. Available playing time is a good selling point. Agree to judge Archie and his...

you forgot about coaches i wanted to CUT BAIT on... LOL yeah, its called being a fan.. and a "fanatic" - and being a fanatic doesn't necessarily equate to being rational its not about choosing between my bills and NIL per se.. its more on principle and not paying a college kid to play for ...

If Hammond leaves then that might be the final straw

Better bring your bricks - that always was stupid anyways

Luis and Ways - yawn... they didnt make my cut Luis was the most clutch player on our team. He was a leader and had some great games. I don't think he's a starter on a top-four A10 team, but having a guy who can run the point and play off the ball is great. Ok - good point - bench is fine but I pre...

Question: if NIL is soooooo important to you - will you ditch the black shower curtain for seats and use the revenue towards the NIL ?… or will continue to act like a fool in giving prime real estate to the press like we are John wooden’s UCLA teams ??

Question- if I donate 10x more than another poster am I allowed 10x more rants after my money goes toward a player that doesn’t care to play defense or show any heart ?? I think we should have a limit on posts based on the money given - I mean that’s what I was told previously … zero $ = no right to...

ElmCityRhody

To the undecided - if you don’t contribute then you have no right to watch or criticize the team because you decided not to pay the salary for a college player who is also getting a free education

ElmCityRhody

or you can simply not move at all.. unless NIL improved, many fans will leave the sport its the haves and the have nots congrats NCAA i have better things to do with my money than pay a college players salary to entertain me so, technically i am moving forward w/ my life vs spending $ on someone els...
