And MN will soon be having players on the payroll at a higher rate than StanfordNow Jessica gets to have fun seeing if she can fend off 250-500k offers on Canady all offseason
Highly unlikely. Word has it the athletic department has had serious discussions about moving all sports except football and women's basketball to Tier 4....vs tier 1 for FB and WBB. Tier 4 means all teams will have no scholarships available to the team. NIL is going to kill college sports. They are not the only school having these discussions.And MN will soon be having players on the payroll at a higher rate than Stanford
Not surprising. Especially with how Title IX is getting bastardized it makes sense to cut as many scholarship sports as possible until you have just your money makers coveredHighly unlikely.

What then is the draw to attend UMN for any sport unless you are getting at least equivalent NIL money to take the place of the scholarship amount...My guess is, that's not going to happen. What then is the draw for a coach to coach at a school where you don't have the NIL collective for all sports, and yet are expected to compete with the schools that can bring in NIL money. Mid majors are going to come out ahead on this, whereas mid P5 schools aren't going to be able to withstand the exodus of athletes and paying the NIL amounts to keep the athletes there. Mid majors won't have to deal with the NIL money, so the scholarships will still be there.
All this NIL stuff is terrible. There has to be a better way.

So following this logic, most major schools would have this same problem. They're not all going to do this, maybe they create a group amongst themselves that does have scholarships but not at the same playing lvl as the bluebloods. There will be some plan figured out to not end most school's sports at the scholarship lvl. Just don't know how or when.Highly unlikely.

With only one player (thankfully… so far) transferring out; don’t expect in-transfers.any gossip of any potential portal pickups? I see all these schools upgrading already - not like we would get any big names but was hoping we would get some hitters to help with this offense.
Quesses regarding landing spot?Canady likely portaling on Monday
Oklahoma would be my extremely uneducated guess.Quesses regarding landing spot?
