[TommyA13]

He also thinks that Syracuse Football needs $20-$22 million in NIL.

I think they are close to or already there. Also I chuckled when the reporter asked to estimate where we are and Jim said he had no idea, he is not involved lol. Maybe he really doesn’t know, but isn’t he the special assistant to the AD and is on the fundraising trail?

I just think back on the whole "the scholarship is fair compensation" discussion and cry laugh.

Should note that there’s no reason he would say so even if he did know

 

[Newhouser]

He just needs to go away.

For sure

This was also from the same interview:

I read two things from this:

1) it’s the school line: BOOOO
2) it’s what he actually believes which means some arguments made by some others on this board remain dumb af and that he continues to be out of touch with modern game

He’s 100% correct on football

 

[PauliePeppas]

Oh Jim….

 

[Ttk.gman2]

Need a thread of this for football also

 

[Cusefan0307]

Just shut up already

 

[hoopsupstate]

I think the $10 million number is pretty accurate. If you want to hire a new coach, he will want at least $10 million if you want an established coach. I think Fran said they need to raise $6-8 million a year to compete. Add that to his $14 million from the school and JB is correct.

Well, for the most part, everything in life is relative.

I wonder if you "cry laugh" over this outrageous fact too?

The data shows that CEOs are paid much more today than they were in the mid-1990s and many times what they earned in the 1960s or 1970s. In fact, realized compensation for CEOs is now 1,094% higher than it was in 1978. Over the same period, the pay for typical workers only increased 26%. As a result, the CEO-to-worker compensation ratio grew tremendously—nearly tenfold—from 31-to-1 in 1978 to 281-to-1 in 2024.

Geez, I wonder how we got into this position, Jim? I appreciate him defending Red, but this is just another reason why this program badly needs a fresh start. Tired narratives. Tired brand. It's time to move on.

UConn has 12M+ for NIL this year so to win a natty, it makes sense. Of course you need a good coach too. And five years is ridiculous

This was also from the same interview:

I'm pretty sure he can get courtside seats and very good parking for free regardless of who is the coach if he wants to go to the games.

All true but why post that on this board?

I think 5 years was what it used to be. And it may well be now if you have the right guy and for some reason, he is off to a slow start. But sometimes you just know you have the wrong guy. Like Stallings at Pitt a few years ago. I would ask JB who knows more about hoop than any of us, what are we trying to do on offense? Can you make sense of our substitution patterns (wrong guy to ask, I know) I'll hang up and listen.

This was also from the same interview:

What I don't get is he says every year is a rebuild AND every coach needs 5 years. If every year is a rebuild, then you don't need to build the program (like you used to), so why do you need 5 years?

I do.

I cry laugh pretty hard over that one.

He saw the loss to Hofstra and is digging in protecting his guy after he himself said at the beginning of the season this would be a good team.

He is not an objective observer. All of this should be taken with a very many grains of salt.
