Lol, ok guy Agree, you can do whatever you would like. It's not that serious

Come on man, A lot of these guys, this is an opportunity to maximize their earnings. Payne is not an NBA player, and likely won't make nearly as much playing overseas as he does this year and next with his eligibility. At the end of the day, none of us should blame him for maximizing his...

to be fair I don't have any data but are you talking about the entire season or March? Any info to back it up? Anecdotally I don't know anyone that watches college basketball before February

Depends on the team he ends up on- a starter at a high end Mid-Major like Xavier- I would guess anywhere between 250-350k If it's for a rotational spot at a place like Texas 400K+

I agree this portal and NIL nonsense has ruined college basketball, not sure why it hasn't had the same impact on college football which is more popular than ever? I think in the end the product is better in football and the college game has regressed, not just because starts aren't staying...

No offense but he's getting looked at by Blue Bloods, he ain't coming back

Salary cap incoming. The money thing has kind of ruined the competitive advantage for good recruiters. BIG should set a realistic cap. problem is, these schools like the opacity of the current system because the figures are higher than people think.

Slippery slope comment is weak because it argues about policy not the fact the athletes should be paid. They are two separate issues. There are kinks, and I am certain there will continue to be, but it will smooth out

? Not sure the correlation with your comment and mine

We going off current or accomplishments? If current Dusty May is the best in the conference I actually came in to see who was below him Ben (thought there were actually 20 teams now lol) the answer is ZERO

The truth is the NCAA was forced to make the change because the courts tend to agree with....well the law? "Anti trust law should not be a cover for exploitation of the student athletes" No offense, but I'll take the legal arguments of Yale educated Justice Brett Kavanaugh over bga1

Naivety It was eye opening to me too, It's the wild west out there. Instead of fellas in here acknowledging what they don't know, they continue to live in their caves. If people truly think Payne is a ~150k player idk where to even begin with how wrong that is.

Trust me, I am not going to pretend I am privy to any actuals for Payne or any gophers But, I do know what some of these players are getting and it's more than you think. Of course it's all situational and depending on supply/demand but I know a guy in a high demand position getting 400K+ and...

Eh, depends on what you are referring to Meaningful in terms of actual attention and importance for implications from a team perspective it's not even close NCAA wins out From future projection regarding talent? Eh, debatable Second pick overall last year never played college ball, Lamelo...

He will go first round
