To be fair I don't think anyone can manage billionaires very well.

And here comes the spin article this morning haha.  Ok now Pitino says it's not NIL because they have 2 guys on their team that are not highly paid.

"St. John’s, The Post recently reported, has an NIL payroll around $4 million, which is believed to be No. 1 in the Big East."

“So you build a team by making sure you understand the whole puzzle of what goes into it, and people just mischaracterize the NIL and [how] St. John’s has been built. St. John’s didn’t get built by the NIL. St. John’s got built with the character of the players, and certainly we are excited to have these young men.”

Can't make this stuff up.  So Pitino has 4 mil (2 mil from just one guy) in NIL to spend and the rest of the big east is at 1.5 - 2 mil at total, but guess that doesn't matter.  Pitino is a great coach but can we stop with the gaslighting.
