Can we please put to rest the argument that NIL is the major inhibiting factor for this program?

I'm curious how many more times we'll create a new thread saying the same thing.

Didn’t everyone put this to rest over a month ago?

Wait, what! Wasn't it just yesterday them usual suspects just put the 'ol sanction excuse to rest? Way too soon yet for the NIL excuse to bite the dust...

These are getting old, the exact same posts all year. There's no argument to even be made the coaches, roster and talent are the worst in decades, but I get that people want to vent.

Think about this. We ran a rotation with Carlos, Cuffe, Bell, Petar, and McLeod on the court at the same time. That is a midmajor lineup, actually probably a bad midmajor roster. And before I get hammered yes that's Reds fault.

We are just not a serious University for sports, maybe some day we will be better but not right now. There's us and then there's SMU below:

The athletic department raised $100 million in the five days after its move to the ACC was announced in September 2023. It received four donations above $10 million each during the 2023-24 fiscal year.

It was actually a miracle we played SMU as well as we did...

Not a miracle. They’re smu. Cmon. They may be better then us this year but they aren’t a lockdown top 5 seeded ncaa team. They’re on the bubble. Granted, we suck per our normal standards but smu isn’t unc.
