It doesn't need to be sustainable, it just needs to be there when he is coaching. If 5 years from now they are broke it won't much matter if he is coaching somewhere else. They have more resources than we do and are spitting distance to some of the best players in the country...not many people...

When weren't we in that era? Assistant coaches switch jobs all the time and have most of my life...

Are you in danger of losing your job every year at your review?

And I happen to think since there is (if he signed a contract) methods by which to protect their NIL that don't involve them blocking a players ability to transfer (which no one is even sure they are allowed to do) that is the more prudent avenue. Both sides can drag this out forever as far as...

Bill Russel did it when Warmath was still coaching football. Dave Cowens did it in the 70s. You think the idea might be a little outdated? Not to mention they were pros with lots of experience playing at a high level...not one member of this team can say that. It would be a train wreck and...

I said we were excellent. UCLA did not represent itself well there imho.

Yeah we travel fine...and the Gopher crowd for that game in particular was excellent! (UCLA...notsomuch)

Well I guess I wonder what you think their ultimate goal here is. You seem to think they are doing this out of principle and that it will act as some sort of new standard to how agreeing to NIL deals and actions of backing out of them will be viewed by players going forward. I am saying this...

If you say so. They aren't going to come out of this heroes and in 5 years all of this will have been for nothing so...cool.

I think most of us just hate the whole situation so we are kinda just picking who we hate the least in it. Like when Wisconsin plays Iowa. The player is a weasel and I have no real sympathy for him. I kind of hope karma finds him...but that doesn't mean I think Wisconsin is making the right...

If it works it might be worth it (not likely) but if it doesn't it is beyond stupid. I don't think they are making the point they think they are... Neither side of this one is going to look good when this is over but if the player is decent (no idea) teams will ignore it. Sconnie looks petty...

They can't block him forever...I don't think the NCAA allows that and no way the courts do.

Yeah that was what I meant. This is short term stuff at best though sooner or later he is going to be playing somewhere else. I am not even sure short term it really does much because you don't have to enter the portal to transfer anyways I don't think. The point of the portal I thought was...

Even in a normal climate I am not sure the court would allow this. The NCAA set the rules and they are in violation of them. Unless transfer rules get further updated and defined there is nothing WI can do. (I admit I did not stay at a Holiday Inn though)

That is the thing...I don't think they really can. I think they basically did away with that right when they changed the transfer rules. If he is in good academic standing and is admitted to another school I don't think there is anything WI can do to make him ineligible even under NCAA rules...

Except that doesn't give WI the right to force him to stay on their team.

I mean since technically WI is not the one paying the NIL he owes them nothing. (they can revoke his scholarship) Them blocking him is ridiculous based on what we know right now. The collective can sue him if they want their cash back... I hate all of this...except WI looking dumb of course ;)

Yep that is definitely what we are saying...

Yeah I dont buy anything in that "report".

I am sure if we looked we could find some weeks where the Gophers were more deserving than some of the teams that were ranked...but overall I think we tend to fall exactly where we should. Eventually you have to win the right game at the right time to get noticed enough to hold a ranking and...
