Agreed. Emmert is an idiot. California's governor and legislation gave NCAA plenty of notice to find a solution before they enacted laws allowing for NIL payment. He tried to call their bluff and got burned badly.bigappleram wrote: ↑2 years agoIMO “they” = the NCAABos8 wrote: ↑2 years agoWho is "they" that has ruined college basketball?ElmCityRhody wrote: ↑2 years ago

Lack of vision causes this situation. Everything now is just opportunism but not the root cause.
The NCAA was late to the party but part of their hold-up was how to handle boosters, etc.RhodyKyle wrote: ↑2 years agoAgreed. Emmert is an idiot.

Why did he waste his time lobbying instead of creating a framework that would create boundaries that would appease the various states?

Pulled this quote out of the below article:
“ NCAA leaders have spent much of the last year lobbying on Capitol Hill for a federal solution that would supersede the various state laws. California’s law presents nearly a free market scenario for athletes to be paid for appearances in ads, autograph signings and social media influencing, among other avenues to capitalize on their fame while on campus. California, for instance, has no cap on what a school booster could pay an athlete for participating in an ad.
The NCAA’s concerns revolve mostly around the recruiting scene. Universities don’t want boosters or representatives making NIL deals with prospective athletes to induce them to attend a specific school.”

That is a lot of height on their campus, Poteat had a solid 21-22 season.
Um, the NCAA did create a proposal. It was deemed far too restrictive and then the rest of the state legislation was passed. There were complaints by politicians I found valid, and ones that weren’t, but basically told the NCAA they didn’t have the right to cap earnings. NCAA guardrails were perhaps too slanted against pay-to-play and booster compensation, but that’s something I’ll admit as a traditionalist I supported. Doesn’t make me a Emmett honk. IE - under the NCAA proposal, players couldn’t sell NFTs of themselves as “Kentucky players,” there could be no collectives where fans pay and pass down earnings to players, booster businesses wouldn’t be able to fund players, schools could have zero involvement with NIL, the NCAA was going to set up a committee to monitor deals for reasonability, etc. I support those things. Because if you ask me, players should not be able to receive payment over a certain amount from any person/business who have ever made financial donations to a school, and any business making an NIL deal over a certain size should have to source deposits to make sure there is no unfair pay (a booster giving $100k to a business to then pay the player). If the player wants the money so bad, go to Europe, go to the Gleague, go to rhe NBA. Be a professional. I don’t want financial free agency in basketball. Sorry.RhodyKyle wrote: ↑2 years agoWhy did he waste his time lobbying instead of creating a framework that would create boundaries that would appease the various states?

Time will tell with this new era of college basketball. If watching players develop and teams grow together at schools such as Rhody is no longer part what you get to enjoy, you are settling for a clearly inferior product on the floor compared to watching the NBA. I do not mind the players getting theirs with NIL but fans can also decide what is best for themselves. That is probably why I never jump on "The Big Booster's Need to Step Up Bandwagon". I appreciate when they do donate but Is college basketball supposed to bleed money because some zealous fans love it? Nobody should pay more for tickets or make donations larger than they themselves think is reasonable. If at some point it does not make sense for me as a fan I will walk away. Currently, I'm a season ticket holder.rjsuperfly66 wrote: ↑2 years agoUm, the NCAA did create a proposal. It was deemed far too restrictive and then the rest of the state legislation was passed.

I think UMass fans are very happy with their head coaching hire so far
Reef,
UMass should be ecstatic getting a coach like Martin, especially after having McCall.
Must have been their board’s version of R72 who voted “absolutely terrible.”
"Brandon Weston becomes Seton Hall’s biggest recruit since Isaiah Whitehead"
Actually 2 voted “absolutely terrible” - of course it is a message boardsteviep123 wrote: ↑2 years agoMust have been their board’s version of R72 who voted “absolutely terrible.”
If he is interested, that shouldn't stop us from pursuing him.
Yes, and that is new. He was not following him yesterday, but Duane was. I'd say we're definitely after him.
I think Holloway will be fine kids are going to want to play for him
Currently UMass primary portal targets are PF Mylyjael Poteat (6'9") from Rice and CG Curt Lewis (6'5") from Eastern Kentucky.ramster wrote: ↑2 years ago Couisnard from South Carolina picks Oregon. UMASS was in the hunt.

Jimmy Baron playing 1 more season with the rams
Thanks for this intel, 22.
Must've felt he was being recruited over. Played 13 minutes a game for ACC champs.Jdrums#3 wrote: ↑2 years agoThanks for this intel, 22.
I did a quick look up on him. Good height at 6’9”. Played a good amount off the bench at VT. Had a few good ACC games where he scored in double figures (he shot 48% from the floor last season). He had six games where he had multiple blocks and assists.
Intriguing prospect. Sounds like he’d be a good add to our front court.
