I don't know if he's the guy, but this could very well be the last round of this wild portal money stuff.  The conferences are tired of it.

Just seems to me it would go back to the old system where whoever is cheating the system most, wins.  I have zero faith that this 'board' would be able to control things any better than the NCAA did.

As long as NIL is legal, I think you will see lawsuits aplenty if the 'board' stated someone's NIL was out of line.  As someone said in the article, a fair market deal is what someone is willing to pay.

It’s just embarrassing how bad the last regime was.

With all the money they'd still be getting through legitimate processes, it'd be practically impossible to look at someone and say they're getting paid under the table. Before you sometimes could but even then it was hard for the NCAA to prove it. Now? Impossible without court orders to access their personal bank accounts for forensic accounting.

As for the fair market value, "Your Honor, that autograph is worth $1M to me. Are you going to try to control how I spend my money while also hurting this player's livelihood?" Or "This $1M sponsorship will look like a genius investment when he turns out to be the next LeBron James, Your Honor. The people at the Clearinghouse are shortsighted."

Nick Davidson to Clemson. We had interest. For some reason I think when we have the other two assistants they are going to get us in with some guys. We should have the whole staff in San Antonio this weekend.

Gosh I hope so. And if so, it makes sense to wait a bit and work on it together. For the absolute life of me, no way Murphy is one of the guys. I just can’t see it.

Not ignoring your question but they’re also watching uncommitted Dante Allen, right? Not sure if there’s mutual interest.

You don't think a bunch of corporate entities might conspire to price fix employee wages?  It seems on brand, these kids came out way to far ahead.

Kansas fan-site states that Flory portaling was more about his not-great relationship with Self than about money.

Unfortunately, that is college basketball today.  Kid comes in and as a freshmann gets decent minutes and can learn the big game.  Set to start the following year and thereafter be one of the big dogs on the team.  But Noooooooo.  My feelings are hurt and I am out of here.

Make then sign contracts.  Honestly the money thing dies down a little if it isn't guaranteed free agency every year.

TT and Alabama has a lot of good players but why would they follow them to IU. I also have to ask why these two coaches would leave those schools to come here

Coaches sign contracts and still move year to year

We’ll see. I’m still hearing there is a chance. I think the guy from TT is done.

Yeah, but not as freely due to buyouts.  Remember our discussions about Cronin and his apparently crazy buyout.

Money, past relationship with DDV and a step up. Could be guys from the portal and not their teams.

Yep and if kids start having contracts you can bet on another school paying a buyout to get him the next year.

Is it just inevitable that the major conferences become a real professional league at this point? I’m not sure this quasi-semipro system is sustainable
