Betts was a high school senior in year one and the maturity of a freshman this past year. So before you discard him as let’s see how this year goes and see if he can help.

Revenue sharing (AKA socialism) is the same concept used by the NFL to keep a competitive balance. Without that the NY, LA and Dallas markets would own the league and fans elsewhere would lose interest, costing the teams revenue. MLB is in the dark ages on this concept, except for the amateur draft.

Sid, the name butcher!

That’s a nice thought that I don’t think is accurate. I believe in the notion of the student athlete and really appreciate those who take their studies seriously. But a basketball player who is less committed to the classroom than to basketball doesn’t make that player a poor or unprepared teammate.

I don’t know what this even means.

Pretty disappointing to read the juvenile comments posted here. People can’t even be classy towards each other when they are fans of the same team, but just have different opinions. It’s just a small example of the problem we have nationally.

I feel your pain as a Gopher basketball fan since 1960. Very discouraging!

The NIL money talks or the players walk. Any team, not just the Gophers, that can't get competitive in NIL has no chance. The highest bidder wins almost every time. So the rich will get richer, and for everyone else it’s the Hunger Games.

I’m willing to see how the next season goes before insisting that he be fired. Year three was a big improvement see let’s see how it goes.

I hate the free for all we now have! I wish that the policy on transfer is one transfer without sitting out. After that they’d have to sit put one year. But Hawkins just changed his mind, a decision he gets to make under the current system.

Because football makes more money than basketball.

The fact is that they didn’t have the money for Mussleman.

I think Mitchell was a point guard at Pepperdine.

Go to your rooms and chill boys!

I believe Mitchell was the point guard on his Pepperdine team.

It’s not about destroying college football and basketball. It’s about getting a piece of the massive financial pie for the players. Still an unregulated NIL will destroy any semblance of competitive balance. The blue bloods will get richer, just like in our economic system. The rest get to eat cake!

And Pembrook Burrows III, another seven footer.

Clearly Hawkins had money on the table before he decided to transfer. Otherwise he would be going from a power five conference with a team that has a chance to be pretty good to the unknown. No one believes his decision was done in a vacuum. Examples like this will destroy CBB except for the...
