Transfer Portal w IU Interest

Virtually no one bought an IU basketball ticket last year because they wanted to watch Ballo or Reneau play basketball. They bought a ticket to watch Indiana University play basketball. This will because even more the case as we get deeper into the transfer portal era and players continue cycling in and out every year. A Bloomington Bears semi-pro game with the same players might get 1,000 fans in the seats. 

Players are “worth” whatever someone is willing to pay them, but they aren’t being paid for their NIL. I disagree with the “players are making schools so much money and weren’t getting paid anything for it” stance that I see from so many. The schools are the brands. The schools are why people watch the games. Every now and then there are players who buck that trend such as CC at Iowa last year. But the average run of the mill D1 player is an interchangeable cog in the wheel.

Yeah, but many schools struggle to fill the seats.  Programs like IU, Kentucky, Duke, etc. are different that way due to their history.

hmmm..almost like someone with a 97% hit rate called this a week ago. I love it. Hope he's the real deal. Headed over to Rupp Rafters to see the meltdown. 

My son is sending screenshots by the minute. It's better than you can imagine. They're definitely on level 4 of cope right now.

I love how they say he doesn't care about winning when they haven't made a final 4 in a decade. Their banners getting dusty too.
