Or we just conclude that a recruit with a vastly inflated view of himself is not a good fit for the program, and wish him BOL.
Nope. I said what I meant. It’s the University’s team and the University is responsible to line up the NIL funds.
I buy tickets and bring my kids and others. I have seasons for football. That doesn’t come cheap. The university is getting my money. It needs to figure the rest out. That’s what they’re paid to do. It’s not joe smith’s responsibility.
They're the only ones seeing a real return on these investments.
Not any more. It's like everything else in our life. It's about the $$$. It is about fans giving money to NIL. You can pretend it isn't. But that isn't the real world. The University can't give the money themselves. They have to get it from you and me.
Then JB needs to get off the payroll so he can start paying his share since he has a big hand in where things are.
Yeah, it's only been said about 1,000 times on the board.

What if JB doesn't think it's needed? What if the people that thinks there is a problem, have to solve the problem?
Other than Kadary, no one will know. But you would have to think it was a combo of things. The money, of course. To play for a Hall of Famer in NYC has to be in the mix. Who do you think will get a warmer reception..Kadary when they play at SH or Cooley when he goes back to Providence?
Here's how it's playing in NYC...and don't overlook this paragraph:
“He (Pitino) told me to do some research on the players he had that struggled shooting and take a look at jumps they made after being with him,” Richmond said. “They showed improvements in all areas. That really stood out to me as well.”
St. John’s lands Seton Hall’s Kadary Richmond in seismic transfer to complete backcourt overhaul
It took some time, roughly seven weeks after the transfer portal opened on March 18. But St. John’s has broken through.
Ask the Lakers, Warriors, NFL teams, etc. Also, star recruits have been getting paid for decades.
$600K a year isn’t much of anything for the real difference makers.
The biggest question I have after reading the entirety of this thread up to this point is why did Day2 give the quoted post regarding Chaz Owens a dislike?
I don’t think it’s very far off but just a matter of what they spend. Fran made recruiting promises IF he was given the resources. He’s pulled through on those promises. The situation in basketball is so different. I don’t really know how to explain it
So it doesn’t sound equitable.
I’m not gonna pretend to know whos offering what, but I wouldn’t trust everything you read about who’s offering what. And to take it a step further there’s a big difference between what’s offered and doing enough to actually see that full amount.
A) I think you can try to explain it.
Pitino has sent a lot of guys to the league and is a HOF coach. Richmond wanted to stay in NYC. Don’t like Pitino at all but he out recruited us on this one without an under the table payment. I was under the impression that Red, Griff and Straughn are elite recruiters.. Really like the 2 freshman we added and generally the portal adds. However, not getting the Fran vibes and relentless at all cost type of attitude. Richmond is a nice player but flawed IMO (Not a great shooter, pounds the ball, gets winded, takes plays off). Very good player and can win a few games by himself but he should have been in the NBA by now and he did not lead SH to much success either.
