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

Payne is at least 300k on open market

You apparently Then again, reading doesn't seem to be a strength of yours

No shit, Idk how anyone can glean that from my og post I was saying sentiment on here has changed

? uh, not sure what this means, but when the sentiment is related to Johnson and his performance, kind of everything

Funny how the sentiment on here about a month ago was keep Johnson, seems it has turned. Glad folks are seeing the light

ooof, nobody was really close the entire tournament They tired out the big man on defense

Would kill for that SEC record here right now, could take Ben 10 more years to get 47 BIG wins

Can't wait until he is running up the score next year when we should have grabbed him Must be nice to have competent directors

I am as big a Payne fan as anyone on here, but in watching the NIT it is painfully clear that Garcia is our best offensive weapon and Payne's attributes are worthless without him being able to be an offensive threat late in games

Do we have access to what kind of NIL money we have here? I am talking total budget for bball

All those teams were also better last year, will be better this next year and have good coaching
