Does anyone have the courage to come up with an argument on how next year is better?

You’re right but he was asked in the presser and he said our best player dropped the ball and didn’t do what he was told. JJ is as inconsistent as Autry and the rest are all following that lead.

Where could JJ foul on the play?

That's why I try and go for a holdover coach. Let Indiana pay Mike Woodson to coach SU. Yes it's a flawed hire but it's a huge upgrade from Autry.

Why would Mike Woodson want to coach here when he is getting paid for not coaching? It makes about as much sense as bringing in Greenberg to hold Red's hand. When was Greenberg ever a coaching savant.

You hope for the best. Have to get a great PG and a bouncy C who can defend the rim.

How do you think this season would've played out if we spent our $ on Dakota Leffew instead of dry rub?
It was basically a choice of one or the other. DL is averaging 10,2,2 but hes also facing top 10 teams alot. He was much more productive early on against lesser competition. He would also be used differently here.
Dry Rub has been pretty good really (a nonfactor on Def) but what if we had DL and a C that was known for Def?
Instead of Dry Rub and a PG known for Def?(lol)JC.

Its easy to say give me Dakota and a defensive Center over Dry Rub and Jaquan Carlos. So I will say we probably should have spent on Dakota and spent less for a bouncy Center.
But what would we do without that lemon pepper mixed with cajun seasoning? Young chefs are funny sometimes!lol.
If he dehydrated the lemons and chilis himself and grinded it into a fine powder, mixed it with self grown herbs...That would be somewhat special. However, when you buy mass produced lemon pepper and mix it in a mixer with mass produced cajun seasoning...you have nothing that 13 year old latch key kids dont already do.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe next year the schools can directly pay the players up to $20 million or so. If Syracuse commits to the $20 million we will be fine. That it does not even include NIL. The amount of money in college sports ridiculous

The $20.5 million revenue sharing number is the maximum schools can distribute. That total is to be spread out through football and all other sports.

If the House settlement goes through, schools will decide on their own how to divide the money up. A lot of schools will choose to distribute primarily to football, men's basketball & women's basketball.

The House settlement's current numbers will likely distribute 75% of the total $2.8 billion 'back pay' to former football players -- and the assumption is, many schools will model their future distribution models according to the numbers the settlement dictates.

Therefore, if Syracuse does decide to distribute the maximum (my guess is the P4 conferences will mandate such), roughly $15.375 million could go to football -- if SU decides to follow the 75% model. They could do more or less. But know that the SEC schools and many others will be doing at least 75%, possibly more.

Of the remaining $5.125 million, I could see men's basketball getting $3.125 million, women's basketball getting $1 million, men's lacrosse getting $750,000 and women's lacrosse getting the remaining $250,000.

Again, this is just conjecture and the House settlement could change a bit based on a number of lawsuits out there. For those that aren't following, there are a lot of female student-athletes or their representatives pushing against the roster limit piece of the House settlement. There are others arguing that Title IX laws must be followed with distribution of the maximum revenue sharing (which would mean more than half of the $20.5 million would go to women's sports).

With the recent change in leadership in Washington, D.C., I would be surprised if the House settlement is altered in a drastic way. But it's worth following.

All this being said, SU -- if it decides to opt in, which it will likely be forced to do to retain membership in the ACC -- will have much more money to play with as it relates to revenue distribution/NIL. Many schools are also folding up their collectives and, now that the payments can come from the school, taking all donations that used to go to those collectives and putting it all in one pot for distribution.

A lot of chaos. A lot of confusion. Hoping the people up on the Hill have a plan.

No one needs to make their own narratives despite all evidence to the contrary quite like you. How long do you need to post here before your realize Dasher Isn’t blowing smoke?

Dasher is your God. Good for you. In the NIL world it is all about the money. It is wishful thinking that we will have the money to compete.

Yes I imagine most if not all P4 schools will be forced to do the same thing. We are usually late to the game to things so I imagine there will be something that other schools figure out before we do.
