Did they IU - Auburn game tickets go on sale this morning?  I got an email from the site saying tickets would go on sale at 10am today but it seems it may be the other game.  Firewall blocked me from checking here at work so navigating on the phone it appeared to be the other game.

Yes

Jordan Rayford and Jackson Creel added to the roster as walk-ons.

Surprised Rayford is walking on. He had some other D1 offers out of HS, and surely could have landed somewhere else on scholarship. 

Makes sense for us obviously. Get what appears to be a high quality kid, with skills above your standard walk-on, but doesn't take a spot for multiple years...especially with the 2024 kids we are on.

Love this as a walk-on spot.  Why not.

NIL changes everything. He could get a scholarship and go play somewhere else buy very likely can make more here in NIL and pay for college

I'm ignorant when it comes to NIL. 

Is there a general pool of money that is distributed to out to the basketball team from a collective, in addition to the individual NIL deals per player. Or...is it all individual. Trying to understand how much a relatively unknown walk-on guy can make.

Yes, there is a pool and individual deals.  Leal, a scholarship guy, paid his sisters schooling from his portion.  So it’s hard to give specific numbers but it’s significant.

This is gonna be the mother of all price gouging. Don’t care, sometimes you just write the check.

I may have to get me a row boat from So Fla to mitigate the costs. And sleep on the beach.

Random: I like Peegs to some degree, but wow that board is awful with sarcasm. If you don’t put “DWS”, people will take you 100% seriously with obvious jokes.

Big time event. Nice matchups looming with Arizona/Gonzaga/Creighton(although I think they will be losing a lot)

 

WVU with a seemingly endless check can’t be dismissed.  Louisville the same.

...Too bad the neutral court Battle 4 Atlantis games won't prepare the 2024 squad well enough for road games.
