Go Gophers!!
So we’re ahead of the curve?Charles Barkley did an interview on 60 minutes last night. He was asked for his thoughts about the current state of college basketball. He was depressed about the direction of CBB and pessimistic about the future. He said that within five years there will be around 25 teams who are dominant and the rest will be irrelevant.
So we’re ahead of the curve?
The Yankees don't win the World Series every year but they have the most money by a huge margin.
The Yankees haven't even gone to the World Series in that same time frame.In fact, the Yankees have won a grand total of ONE World Series in the past 23 years. And, haven't won it at all in the past 14 years.
If that comes to fruition, then lower the flags to half- mast, as I’m done.I guess so! If Barkley's predictions come true, then I think we should go to a smaller "NCAA championship" tournament and a larger "NCAA Championship Irrelevant" tournament. Maybe we could make the latter one 40% of the time.
I might even watch the final four this year.FAU and SDSU made the final 4. I think parity is doing just fine. And also if you think the same teams weren't paying the same figures before, well then you just refuse to see the truth, it's just out in the open now. College sports will be just fine
Just a few small things. The Yankees haven’t been the highest payroll in the last 3-4 years due to the dodgers and Mets.Is that too much different than it is now? Start of each season you got 25 teams that seem like legit possible contenders to a title. Then you have another 25 who say what about us?
Still need the right coach and you still need to evaluate talent and character. I don't think it is doomed. It's just going to be played by different rules.
How many John Ruiz's are there? I think many of the power 5's will develop collectives and compete financially for players.

Zion reportedly received a giganticIf NIL means more Miami and less Duke and North Carolina, then it's not all bad from my prospective.
You have to be kidding? They all ready receive a $100,000 scholarship Per year. The NIL will be the down fall to whatever is good about college athletics. SadGood for them. Nice to see talented individuals who have worked really hard be paid their worth.
Not a free marketer, huh?You have to be kidding? They all ready receive a $100,000 scholarship Per year. The NIL will be the down fall to whatever is good about college athletics. Sad
If someone is willing to pay them thousands or millions to play for that school, that's their choice.You have to be kidding? They all ready receive a $100,000 scholarship Per year. The NIL will be the down fall to whatever is good about college athletics. Sad
Which one draws more revenue? Men's or women's?(in Miami's case- I don't know that answer) In my view- it's nice to see the one that draws the interest make the money.So the Miami men's team in total makes less than the Miami women's team? Thats cool. Nice to see women athletes out-earning their male counterparts!
Another nice feature of NIL, especially because most women's hoops players don't have big pro contracts ahead of them.So the Miami men's team in total makes less than the Miami women's team? Thats cool. Nice to see women athletes out-earning their male counterparts!

I think it’s hard to say how much, if any of it, is due to their standing as Miami basketball players (compare their followers to Iowa’s Clark, for example. Their TikTok following existed prior to sports and will long outlast their time playing ball (provided the ban doesn’t happen)Clearly they draw interest because they are paid to do so. It’s largely driven by the Cavinders. They make a lot of money.
Their tiktok started really taking off in 2020. I highly doubt they started playing basketball at the same time--as they were already playing D1 basketball. They have made more money at Miami than they did at Fresno St. so I do think thats a factor. I also dont know why the miami mens team is getting paid. I dont really care. Are they pianist or just basketball players? Who knows. Who cares.

Was more meaning, I give Miami next to no credit for it. These 2 capitalized on things and deserve the credit. They had over a million followers coming out of HS and have struck while the iron is hot. Kudos to them for doing soTheir tiktok started really taking off in 2020.
