83 #REF errors that he needs one of the youths to solve on each of his spreadsheets
Sad thing about the portal & NIL

The nerve of those “kids” not accepting crumbs from you when they can get more somewhere else
NIL isn't going to end the ncaa as we know it. The ncaa is a constantly evolving multibillion dollar revenue machine. Schools will figure out how to manage this and it will inevitably result in more athletes at more schools being able to get some additional financial compensation than ever before.
We need to make a better distinction between NIL (athletes actually using their Name /Image / Likeness to promote a product) and Pay for Play.
You're right. You wouldn't. My business can't survive with people like you. We need overachievers, people willing to go the extra mile for customers. We answer our phones at any time. If we don't, our competition will. It's a demand driven market. It's called Economics 101, something i did very well in at ISU.
I just think that it is being dramatically overstated just how impactful this is going to do. The vast majority of these athletes are going to make no more in NIL deals per year than a college kid will make in part time jobs.
It's easier for the doom and gloom folks to make their case if they treat NIL as Pay for Play.
Breaking news. College aged kids, even the nice, well mannered ones, are generally self absorbed and flake out on their jobs.
I can't even tell you the number of college aged kids who have been hired by my employer to do Customer Service who don't even show up for their first day of work or who don't last more than a few months before quitting because they had a fun thing they wanted to do but couldn't get the day off. It has been that way for the duration of my 15+ years here and was likely that way for decades prior. Kids are mostly flakes and they have always been that way. It isn't a new development.
It's why opening up the portal to transfers without having to sit out has resulted in a huge spike in the number of transfers. Kids want "better than what I have" and they want it as soon as they think they have identified it.
Well that is a ridiculously obvious statement when you consider that the majority of these athletes aren't even in the highly visible sports of football and men's basketball and a good portion of the ones who are aren't starting.
Honestly this is good. Would love it if Kentucky has 2-3 of these. Suck up those funds with current guys so they can’t go after as many from other teams.
I guess with someone like UK, do the funds every end, though?
One thing I did agree with Gary Parrish and Matt Norlander on from their video yesterday, is that paying players doesn't always work out-- I mean look at Kentucky last year and too an extent, Texas.
You would think that sooner or later that you can’t keep getting guys to drop 250-500k a year for 10-20 years straight if they aren’t getting championships. It will be like coaches, if the donors don’t think their race horse is pulling the winnings well enough, they will cut them off and then the run off issues will pop up.
I just don’t think this is a model that can sustain itself for years and years without something changing.
I AGREE Bryce...If these kids want to blow their 100K to 750K...THEN THATS ON THEM NOT THE SCHOOLS OR THE NIL!!
There's nothing stopping the owner of the Cadillac dealership in Lawrence (or KC) from creating a pool of money from which they offer contracts to every five star recruit at each position every year to come to KU. There is also nothing stopping said dealership from never using said five stars NIL. It will very much become pay for play.
There is no business risk here. There is no ROI calculus. This will become boosters funneling money into businesses to create pay for play slush funds.
To be clear, I'm downbeat about NIL but not all doom and gloom. ISU's booster community will never be able to pay as many recruits as much money as KU hoops boosters...but if TJ gets a nice 5* culture thing going like Campbell has, perhaps that makes up for the difference in $$$ in some strategic cases. We'll have to be smart...
I'm actually more immediately concerned with realignment. If the B1G & SEC become the Super 2 it's going to be a lot harder for ISU to weather relegation to the P3 than KU.
If the NCAA truly wants to preserve their credibility, they will address NIL's. They need to level the playing field. College football has more parity than in years past. I would hate for that to go away. If it does, people will quit watching. TV revenue will drop. People get tired of the same people winning all the time. It's why I hate the Yankees. It's fun to see them lose after spending all that money. I wouldn't watch them. I just check the boxscore to see if they lost.
Again....how does he know that? Oh, of course, 'the source'. Post 'em all then. Not sure how guys like **** Vitale can bash the transfer portal/rule and not bash this!
