Tuned into the Western Kentucky/Louisville game because I was expecting WKU to win in front of Louisville's fans.  So far, WKU hasn't shown up and Khristain Lander hasn't even scored yet.  68-50 Louisville with 11 1/2 to go.

[RaceToTheTop 23,799]

Louisville currently 11 of 21 from three and shooting 58% overall.

Khristain Lander....is still Khristain Lander.  Looking absolutely horrible right now.

[RaceToTheTop 23,799]

Just as I post about him, Lander comes to life.  8 points in short order including back-to-back threes.  Louisville still up 13 at 77-64 with 7:15 left.

UofL blows, I saw the in-game odds were incredibly in their favor so I threw some money down on western Kentucky and then tuned in to see Lander catch a ball out of bounds and I knew I was f’d

[RaceToTheTop 23,799]

Louisville going to get their first win.  Up 88-78 with 1:12 left.  The Cardinals shot really well -- 13 of 25 from three and 54% overall.  But I see why they are bad.....they usually shoot poorly and they don't play a lick of defense.

Keion Brooks went for 30 last night for UW.

Jealousy, yes.

Boosters late/negligent on payments? I can honestly say I didn't see that one coming.

Any fundraising effort I was ever involved in always anticipated a percentage of pledges to never be honored for one reason or another.

But to me... was this model truly ever sustainable? I just don't see that it is. 

15 years from now... we are still going to be asking these same boosters to pony up or they don't get to see their favorite QB? Just seems that is going to get old after awhile.

Very much agree. Not sustainable at all. From what I understand, most coaches were just going to try to survive the initial wave of NIL where everyone was going to want/get something. Then, like everything else, water finds its level and it goes right back to the haves (5-stars, elite schools) and the have nots (everyone else). 

I just didn't see water beginning to find its level less than 2 years in lol.

The outgoing Gov. Of Massachusetts is going to be the new NCAA president starting in March.

Gotcha gotcha. Some of these places, imo, could really get out of control. 

I think as a teammate... it'd be pretty hard to see someone make 400K or whatever and you are getting nothing.
