Who are Tommy and Trilly?

Tommy posts a lot over on the recruiting side. Trilly is a guy on twitter that knows things.

Tommy used to work on the docks, union's been on strike
He's down on his luck, it's tough, so tough
Trilly works the diner all day, working for her man
She brings home her pay, for love, mmm, for love...

Hilarious post! Well done.

Get the best players you can every year, doing anything less is just looking for an excuse.

Get the best team together every year. There can be multiple ways to do that.

This is the cool thing about the NIL. We now can confirm who has been spending the cash on players all along.

There can be, but the most sure fire way? Get the best players possible. Golden state didn't win 3/4 titles by accident, they did it by getting the best players money could buy. They didnt have LeBron but they had 2 of the best shooters in recent memory, a forward who was arguably a top 5 player of the last 30 years and a former all star who consistently out performed his age and limitations (iggy), not to mention a bench with loads of talent.

(I think it is more appropriate to compare today's college game to the NBA versus college history considering NIL's impact).

They just offered him $4 mil last week.

Are they bidding against themselves?

 

[Orangezoo]

8 mil for Dickinson is just hilarious.

Wasn't that Kansas?

 

[Vorony]

Absurd money. That’s more money than a late first rounder would make over the course of their 3 year contract.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

If Kansas offered 4, Kentucky should counter with 5.

Lousy poker players.

That's lottery pick money... for a kid who wouldn't get drafted and probably would struggle to find a two-way contract. Good for him if he can get it though

If that’s even remotely accurate it’s going to be fuel for a big time backlash against pay for play in college revenue sports.

Salary caps to ensue.

They are used to betting on Horses not playing Poker.

Salary caps to ensue.

The ONLY way that anything will change is if the bottom lines of these schools trend negatively, and I don't think that's an immediate thing, so I think we are a long ways off from any kind of meaningful regulation on any of this stuff.

Dickinson is never going to wanna leave college.

If true he should get his master degree at UK, then PhDs (multiples).

 

[Cuse'91]

What was our pitch, I wonder. Hey, we can't pay you, but you can get a Newhouse degree. S.I. is long gone, and remember reading about a 40% turnover in Newhouse professors. Wonder if Newhouse, is still Newhouse.

Maybe.. until his first year at 4 mil he is the same player and can't bring them another FF or title and the BBN crazies start their attacks on social media.

Well it will eventually fizzle out to where the list of schools with collectives that will pay that much gets smaller and smaller. Then when that money doesn't produce titles or FFs...

That was a fake post on the Kentucky board. Kentucky posters thought the $4m rumored Kansas offer was started by one Michigan poster so the kentucky goofball then posted they had offered $8m.

I am sure Dickinson is being offered a lot but not that much.

In any case, I don’t believe we are
players any more for his services.

Cuse!

No doubt these schools had a network set up for years.
