Revenue share will be here within 5 years I’d guess. That’s the reoccurring. 

But it's not yet and we're still talking NIL and the next couple of years.  

 

For example,  Purdue went around last year and made a huge push to get more money to keep Edey because they felt they had a real chance at a FF or title.  The level they spent last year isn't necessarily being replaced as they go back to their normal level.  You'll see schools do that maybe for title worthy teams or something. All we know so far (at least according to this board and other sites) is that a couple big donors were convinced to shell out a couple million more for this year.  

I suspect some people may not feel their "investment" is worth it if they don't get the results they are expecting.  The world of NIL is so new, nothing is guaranteed in the future.

I'm hearing that Hickman's NIL offer was much bigger than he expected. The deal is not done yet since he is at Cincy today, but things look good.

And I guess I don’t see the downside if donors don’t get the expectations met? To me that means a coaching change will occur. These donors aren’t shelling out major money bc they aren’t invested in the success of the program. That money isn’t going away. If the rumor of 6+ mil is true that’s literally a rounding error for the people donating. It’s not going away. Now and can see it drying up for Iu football or women’s basketball etc. but honestly I don’t care about any of those sports. I’m an IU basketball fan and it’s the flagship program. NIL is to IU’s benefit and to think it’s going to disappear before revenue sharing is just fear based thinking.

I know Michigan has looked to set up a fund for NIL. Where they get big donations and then pay the players through the returns on the investments and never touching the principle. They haven’t done it yet but there has been talk of it. I think lack of clarity on revenue sharing and what NIL looks like after is holding it up. 

Quite likely that in the future the mid major or low major that 'comes out of nowhere' and starts to become a potential power will be one with the most big money donors.  I think Grand Canyon fits that bill.  They could be become the next Gonzaga.

Your thoughts on what that would do with Carlyle?  That is, is the trio of Rice/Hickman/Carlyle coming in a possibliity?

I know that many on here really want Conwell (i do as well) but I don't think realistically from Conwell's viewpoint that it makes sense to come into a situation that already has two guards coming in plus another who led the time in minutes the previous year.

I believe that Trilly Donovan might have been the one that mentioned it, but the downside is that if the money donated doesn't pan out to winning on the court, some donors are now asking for input into the recruiting process.

I don’t get it with Conwell. He seems to have time to schedule multiple other visits

I'm surprised that Hickman would want to compete with Carlyle and Galloway so I don't think Conwell will want to compete with Hickman, Carlyle and Galloway

so we are likely looking at either Hickman or Carlyle in your opinion?

You’re currently on 5 scholarship guards. I just can’t imagine that Carlyle/Conwell/Hickman isn’t a 1 of situation. Some systems would justify 7 guards. What Woody’s doing with Mgbako on the wing and Tucker getting wing minutes  doesn’t.
