[adam914]

Lots still to be ironed out but an interesting development for sure.

When the next wave of lawsuits is over and the TV money starts to flow the way it should (the money that is actually derived from random stuff like...names, images, and likenesses), will there still be collectives?

ETA: will there be a need for collectives?

[ElmCityRhody]

I have been wondering the same, they seem like a temp solution or loophole that needs to be closed or regulated.

I would guess they don’t go away but are merely a cherry on top for the dollars being shared with players. They become less relied upon to carry the load but I’m sure especially at big schools they will continue to exist. Just not the sole revenue source as they are now. That model is unsustainable.

No Rhode to Excellence store, no emails updating with transfers we have gotten "Thanks to your contributions to the collective, we have secured ______ from _____ school" no upcoming events announced, no nothing.

Simply just give us your money, we're not telling you if it's going to men's, women's, or both.

It's been like 2 months since Stone took over. Give it some time.

[PeterRamTime]

On April 1st I was told the store would be open within 2 weeks...so that hasn't happened. The other stuff I know takes time and it's basically like a new collective.

I just wanna get a hat and maybe a shirt :/

Not sure if anyone posted this prior but espn reported (I think it was yesterday) that UAB was the first D1 FB program to join the college players association union.

Trent Dilfer is the HC there and, evidently, is in favor of the move. Not surprising considering he played in the NFL and was a member of the players union so is familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of a players union.

I wonder which D1 program is next and how soon ?

I’d assume we’d want to know who’s on the team before we start dropping merch

No no. Gotta get the generic merch out. Marketing 101.

Don’t need a team to put “Rhody Excellence” on hats, shirts, sweats, hoodies, etc.

Don’t worry, they’re going to put a Newport propane logo on it instead

How do I block someone on KB? Man this guy above is mentally ill, and No Rhody Rehab will not help.

LTR, here’s is my unsolicited recommendation….

ECR is like the KB DJ. Don’t block him; make requests.



I enjoy the classics (rock, Mo-town, Philly sound, UK bands) from the 60’s, 70’s (no disco or heavy metal ECR!) and 80’s the most.

Good one’s so far today - Pink Floyd and Dire Straits.

ETA: To stay on topic and relate this all to basketball, hopefully our PG’s can keep up the tempo, we need the 2’s/wings to have the freedom on O to be creative with the guitar rif’s and someone to add to Fuchs for more bass.

Love it. I wonder if Stone put that hashtag in, intentionally referencing that org. If he says yes ..hey, I might even.....

[adam914]

That's pretty nice! I'd wear it.

[ElmCityRhody]

I miss the days when a terrific recruiter was so valuable in college sports.

Now it doesn't really matter. You can be a terrific recruiter, but if you don't have any NIL, you aren't getting players.

And you can be a shitty recruiter, but if you have NIL you'll still be able to get guys.

I can't tell if Goodman is being intentionally naive there or if he really actually believes its that simple. Money has always played a huge part in recruiting success. That's nothing new.

I do see he walked it back a little in a follow up tweet, so I'll give him some credit there.

Just our luck
Just when we get the money to pay a HC $2 million a year and Assistants $800k combined we now hear in todays world you can be a lousy recruiter and get guys.
Hire Rambone as HC and give him $2.5 milllion for NIL per year and he can round out his Coaching Staff with KB members of his choice with $300k and we are even

same with the practice facility? coulda waited a year and NILled that cache? Although, looks like if you wait another lawsuit or two, the players will get the cash they should be getting, without the gen pop shakedown anyway?

These tweets from the new random accounts are getting more cringy by the day.

I disagree. It’s nice to have anyone gassing up our squad on Twitter, and it’s fun.

Beats the hell out of the pissing contest on here of “who can say we’re the worst the loudest.”

Disagree. Do you follow any of PC twitter and the motley crew of posters who flood X? Lighten up. I’d rather see these than the 350th pot shot at Archie from Vault.

Oh they don’t even compare, they are absolutely brutal.

Probably have a dozen of them blocked/muted.

It’s gotta be right? I’d guess it’s one person for like 4/5 accounts.

Oh its for sure the same person. I'm just dying to know who it is.

They all say the same thing. Lots of heavy drinking, push the rock, trust the process, etc., etc., etc. The ring leader is Don Keedick. That can't be his real name unless his parents had a really warped sense of humor.

That's the kind of efficiency most of corporate america is looking for...hire one guy with 5 personalities over hiring 5 different people

his nickname growing up was 'big floppy'
