Old Mediocre Has-Been Desperate To Appear Relevant; aka JBo To Return

clonedude said:
This is SO pathetic..... but SO hilarious at the same time. But not unexpected at all. JorBo is such a dork.

What's he going to do next year, charge little kids $5 to sign their shirt or basketball after each game? You know tons of Iowa fans will give their kids the $5.... but it's just so sad.

It sounds as if most Hawk fans at this point just want him to go away. Sure he's put up some decent numbers in his time at Iowa.... but most intelligent Iowa fans understand that he's a complete liability on the defensive end, and he also cannot dribble.

This is what I'm trying to wrap my mind around as well. Trying to understand how jorbo plans on profiting exactly. He gonna take advantage of the young hawk fan children that don't know any better than to ask him for an autograph? And then shake their parents down to see if they'll give him$5 for it? So bizarre.

So apparently JBo is willing to come back for his 13th year, but only if they pass legislation to allow him to profit off his NIL:

So much to unpack here. Is there much of a desire to have him back? Plus, what exactly is Jordan Bohannon's NIL worth? Can't be more than what he'd make in his future career, be it basketball, coaching or otherwise, right?

Free beer for life in Shitville.
 
I wonder if he consulted with his parents on this...didn't he just tweet that he was moving out to get on with life? There goes that new office room that they were planning...

I get what these athletes are saying, that if a full ride band student wants to give lessons they can make money that way. BUT, these athletes are saying they are doing this for all NCAA athletes. How many other college athletes will be able to use their likeness? This is about the high-profile guys wanting to make some of the Millions that the NCAA makes off of them. But at the end of the day this will be the way boosters will help steer the blue chip guys to their school. Joe Booster will guarantee that you will make $20k each camp that you "host".

IMHO if a guy or gal doesn't want to be a property of NCAA, then don't take a scholarship from somebody that would cherish that benefit. Go on and play professionally and make coin if that's what it's all about. These athletes are given so many benefits, and their name usually lands them a nice career, especially if they have the mind that backs it up. Plus it is a way that they get the best coaching and health care to possibly make it to the big money.

Either way I don't care, but I'm so tired of this whining from doucheface.

The issue is that the NCAA has traditionally been a monopsony for football and basketball. The other avenues to a pro career are virtually nonexistent. The NBA has been attempting to change that of late, with the G league, but the horse is already out of the barn, and football has no G league equivalent. And I'm not using that term lightly. A Federal Judge has agreed with the Plaintiffs in NCAA vs Alston that the NCAA is a monopsony.
It's going before the Supreme Court, and we'll see how it shakes out, but it's only a matter of time before college players are allowed to benefit from NIL rights. I don't know if full pay for play will happen, but the NCAA arguments are inconsistent and full of holes. Not to mention, there's a push to pass laws on both the state and federal level. It only will take one going into effect for the dam to burst. The NCAA knows it, too

I agree with Bohannon 100% but he was painful to listen to earlier on KXNO. I’m sure he’s done his research but he dodged most of the questions and one he just flat out didn’t answer. Jack Whitver wasn’t much better on the issue after and I wish the guys would stop wasting their time with that sellout.

Sounds like Iowa fans, about 2 to 1, are completely against JorBo coming back. They're sick of him too. They just want to be done with him.

He's going to end up going out like McCabe..... where no Iowa fans like him anymore.

They have a legit beef. If he returns, he's holding back other players that are clearly better than him and would just be a huge distraction.

Sets the stage for him to boycott the tournament when Iowa doesn’t make it. Through that lens it all makes sense.
 
All he's trying to do is appear to take the decision out of his hands so he has an excuse when all the hawk jock chasers in the iowa city bars ask him why he didn't take the extra year.

I agree that the NCAA is an evil giant in this whole thing. But in my head the fix is not to give privileged more privileges, it's to fix the monopsony from having so much power. (I know, I'm the old guy that thinks that if you agreed to a contract, honor that contract.)

This all reminds me of the bible story where the guy agrees to work a whole day for a wage, then someone gets hired at noon for the same money for less hours, and yet a third guy gets hired with an hour left in the day for the same money. The first guy complains about how unfair that was, but was fine when he signed the deal. If you can make more money, go do it, don't tell me that I'm underpaying you.

I'm watching the 'Office' episode where Michael goes to the bars with Ryan in NYC and it will probably be more like that.

Where to begin with this. Seems as if Bohannon is going to make this a life-long vendetta against the NCAA. And if it would pass, I can't wait to hear his complaints when he's not getting as much money off of his name that he expects to. I wonder how much he thinks his name is worth? He sure has lofty visions of himself.

What this boils down to is Bohannon probably thought for sure years ago he was NBA material, and he's realizing that's not going to happen, so he's still trying to cash in from playing basketball.
