He can spend his money however he wants, I support that, but buying friends and bringing them to a basketball game doesn’t provide any actual benefit to the program. Those people aren’t doing interviews on ESPN talking about how great the program is or how players should come here, they come here to collect their paycheck and then go home and never talk about the trip again. I certainly am grateful that he pays the university ungodly amounts of money for his tickets, but that’s where the contribution ends. You want to pretend like this guy is the saving grace to program, feel free! This is all great PR for him, but so far it doesn’t get more talent in the door nor does it get more butts in seats.
