But if every other major program has revenue sharing as mandated of 20 million, then revenue sharing is a push. They need additional NIL above and beyond that to seperate from other major programs.

Has been discussed many times here....the revenue sharing won't necessarily help us in relation to other Big Ten programs but we should be in a better position than a majority of non Big Ten schools which will give us an advantage over them....and there are lots of players out there.

I saw an article last week quoting an unnamed ACC coach who said you need a minimum of 4.5 -6 million for a top 25 basketball roster. 4.5 million if your coaches are unbelievable talent evaluators who rarely miss on evaluations.

I believe Pitino's contract was that if he hot "similar employment" there is no buyout period. I'm sure about Ben's (offset vs no buyout at all). Either way, it is like working for free the first two years. Ben will likely take a year off and count his $$ but maybe not.

Probably the best thing Coyle has done during his time at the U (not a long list)

When Pitino says “less than 24 hours later,” he really means “about 15 minutes later.” That’s how much time passed from the moment Minnesota athletic director Mark Coyle informed Pitino the school was going to announce his firing the next day, and when New Mexico AD Eddie Nuñez texted Pitino to let him know he’d be calling in the morning to offer him a new job. If it seems like those two messages must have been coordinated, that’s because to a large degree they were.

I don’t know if anyone knows the exact numbers, so take it for what it’s worth. Ruesse mentioned on Michael Rand’s podcast today the Gophers were at 1.2 this year with Garcia receiving 500k.

Another example:
When Holloway was hired after St. Peter's lost in the elite 8 against UNC, it wasn't even an hour before they announced his hiring at Seton Hall.

Yep. To dump Johnson and hire Medved, the Gophers need about $10 million for buyouts and year 1 pay. Then, if it's a serious school, they'd need another $1.5 - $2.5 million for quality assistant coaches plus any assistant buyouts.

That's about $12 million needed to get the coaches in place.

Plus at least $5M for a competitive roster.

I think the IU job is a tough one. The expectations are sky high, even though they haven't really been INDIANA FREAKING BASKETBALL for about 20 years, and their fans are delusional, clutching to the old days like grim death. In so many ways it does feel like the basketball version of Nebraska football. Once great, probably never going to be at that level again. Wash, rinse, repeat with a new coach.

I get the general idea of this for sure. That said, they have a TON of money, when building a team of essentially 10 guys, that's a lot more doable for the right coach. Nebraska needs like 40-60 football players, basketball you can go from average to amazing in a quick hurry if you pair their money with an elite coach.

THIS is the mentality that needs to be employed once here at the U. Put a surge on it. Get behind the coach with everything- this is a sport you can succeed and win big in. Let's hope Niko is elite.

Michigan Wolverines say hi. Pretty nice turnaround for them this year.

Unless the U gives a much higher percentage of their revenue share towards basketball versus football. They need additional NIL above and beyond that to seperate from other major programs.

The best way I heard it explained is this:

If Michigan spent $5 million for their roster this season, and the Gophers spent $1 million on our roster, Michigan spent 5x as much as the Gophers.

If they both add $3 million in revenue sharing next season, Michigan will spend $8 million and the Gophers will spend $4 million next season. The gap is now only 2x.

That means the lower tier teams in the B1G will significantly close the gap, and also have more money to spend than most other schools outside of the SEC.

Its estimated numbers for power 4 basketball rev share are in the 3-3.5 million range. If Minnesota leans toward the high end as Coyle has indicated and they can get NIL up to around 1.5 million then your up around the 5 million area. Hopefully that would allow a decent roster but it still is on the coaching staff to find the right fits in the portal. Kansas, Kansas St, and Indiana had high priced rosters that didn’t fit.

Great point! Having a good amount of money to compete with the top 30 or so teams for pay and then putting together a roster that fits. Do that and you can win big.
