We are happy to get $2 million meanwhile Florida is handling out $13 million to one QB

But, but, but I've read on message boards that the players don't actually do anything to earn NIL money. How is this possible? Message boards are never wrong since they're in the internet.

Remains to be seen if anything changes. I doubt it does.

It’s always funny to see “NCAA” and “ enforcement” in the same sentence.

Who knows, maybe the NCAA will indeed get aggressive by looking past the SEC, as an example, while really nailing/punishing a school like North Alabama or Middle Tennessee State.

Nice to see a collective's numbers.

If they spent it all and evenly (which they didn't) that'd be a little over $150,000 per athlete.

I'm not totally sure how the 501(c)(3) works, but I'm guessing what they bring in doesn't necessarily have to go back out the same year. Wondering what that looks like.

Side note: I didn't know Tyler Harris is the executive director of HFG. Tyler is a GREAT guy.

Not too shabby at all.

[Crazy about IU 159]

Is the NIL money helping or is it hurting IU ?  I feel we are getting out bid on several key recruits in pat year.

We are struggling still. You could argue recruiting hierarchy hasn’t changed much despite NIL. Top is still the top. The middle range has widened. 23 has been rough. Really rough. True judgement will come after transfer portal season. We should be poised to make a couple huge splashes. I fear we will need it.

Indiana is using collectives and it seems legal methods and money. The same old cheaters are still using the same old boosters. Money from those boosters have been earmarked for years for 2023 etc.

Oh wow is IU. Everyone is cheating except IU.

Get the money to the players. Get the money to recruits. It’s flipping legal now.

I didn't piss in your cherios. Reply objectively, or don't reply to me. If there's a block feature, you're welcome to use it.

If you don't care to read my comment, I won't care to dumb it down for you.

And, it is not.

It's really not that difficult. We can either continue to take the woe is IU stance like we have for years or we can get the money to the players. It's legal, the players can get paid. Let's figure out a way to get the player money "legally" and stack talent.

We are about the find out.  We will likely lose almost our whole starting 5. 
 

JHS- high odds 

X- 

Kopp-

Race-

TJD-

Duncomb- pretty much a certainty 

2 guards coming in.

We could start

Galloway, Bates, Banks/Gunn, Geronimo, Reneau

I don’t know how I feel about that.  Our best PG could be an undersized freshman PG (wink wink Purdue).  
 

I feel like we need 2 starter level players and a back up big to be top 25 good. 
 

I’m enjoying the heck out of this season but I realize how important TJD has been and JHS.

One’s capable of doing both.  A great season is important and bad season to follow would be more impactful. We’ve all experienced Crean’s momentum letdown. I can project. I obviously don’t think it’s a lost cause.  NIL/transfers can save our butt and this is a thread about NIL.

I do think the likely returning nucleus is interesting and gives you a fair “floor” with space to add some high impact transfers or a Scoop/Malik-style spring shakeout commit

This is the new landscape of college football and basketball. Continuity is going to be hard to come by. The reasons for a kid to transfer now includes the promise of more money elsewhere. Maybe it always did and I just never saw it. Years ago, we kind of knew what the team was going to look like from year to year. Now we are filling out or building a team every year. I doubt we will ever see teams built the way they were in our glory years again. The king is dead, long live the king.
