Transfer Portal w IU Interest

[Class of '66 Old Fart 89,216]

Some of the who stays who goes could end up being if they're being asked to take too big of a pay cut to stay.

[Pagoda 3,996]

A unique dynamic this year to keep in mind is the House Settlement (rev share with players) seems likely to get final approval and potentially go into effect on April 7th.  Schools probably want to get players' NIL deals done before that. 

The reason is the House Settlement will likely include some version of a "Clearinghouse" for NIL deals -- basically some accounting firm determines if NIL deals are fair market value. 

I doubt the Clearinghouse will have much teeth, I can't imagine it going over well if they tell some kid (some of whom are not well off) they can't make $2M NIL but only $1M NIL... schools/players will hit the courts (labor laws won't like this) and state legislatures will get involved.  Regardless, NIL deals done before April 7th are to my understanding free and clear from any sort of Clearinghouse review, and schools will want to avoid the Clearinghouse.

Given this dynamic, the we could see a lot of portal activity happening over the next two weeks before April 7th rolls around.

This.  We’ve all heard stories of the frivolous, above market NIL deals Woodson and staff have established, I full expect DDV to reset this approach and I’m not sure it goes over well.

He's getting plenty of NIL offers already

Amir Khan has announced he's following Will Wade to North Carolina State as a graduate assistant manager.  

We are now in the day where student managers get recruited.

Kudos to the young man for capitalizing on his free market opportunities.

Another year of that dork? I hope NC State misses the tournament next year so we don't have to go through this again.

Amir rocks. It’s a fun story that, per usual, the media beats into the ground and ruins.

Tony Adragna brought up on the crimson cast podcast he doesn’t see how Goode gets another year. Galan said it’s bc of fear of being sued by the NCAA. Will be interesting to see what happens. 

As ridiculous as the some of the NCAA eligibility stuff is, that whole playing early maintains eligibility but playing late uses it may be in it’s own tier of nuts. 

[AZ Hoosier 10,549]

I wouldn’t be surprised if more players stay than the fanbase thinks. The players are making good money here and there was a lot of talent that underachieved. DDV could be thinking he could work with many of the players. 

It depends on what CDD is willing to pay. I doubt it’s what Mediocre Mike paid last year.

Yeah,  if that goes to court the NCAA will lose.

Still pass lol we need to load up on portal people this year 

Why? 

Again, those are the poor decisions we've made. 

Tre Singleton is a flat out stud. Did you Briscoes lines yesterday? 

Both play for state titles this coming Saturday.

Yea, Mike likely lands most of these guys by overpaying.  Like Rice and Carlyle didn’t even visit another school… I would guess it’s because other offers weren’t close.

There are also some not so great rumors with certain players’ behind the scenes behavior.  Some rumors may not be true, but some probably are, and I’m sure Scott is filling in CDD on those that are true.  Some players will probably be “encouraged” to leave too.

We will find out soon.  The old “mass exodus” is likely coming this time around.  Good.

I sincerely hope we have one.

The Mgbako rumor was probably the most egregious, plus I don't think it was just a rumor.

Gtfo Mgbako.

Probably my least favorite player in 41 years of being a diehard IU fan as a student and alumni.

I’d rather have Bud Mackey on the coaching staff than Mgbako on scholarship.

I hear what you're saying, Stu... and you had me all the way up to Bud Mackey... that's a pretty tough choice...

If the Mgbako story is really true, he should have been kicked off the team immediately... there's no place for that crap.

Yeah but when he was 16 someone thought he was a 5 star so we should still cling to that opinion and hope a coach can bring that out in him. Lolololol

Did I do that right?

Not to beat an already dead horse and trying to find that “ship that has sailed”,…… Wouldn’t DeVries try to kick the tires and reach out to Mullins? Why not?

You're in luck. I don't think Mackey ever made it college so he probably still has eligibility left. Might have to wait for him to get out of prison, though.
