If you have the money, it would be stupid not to spend it on someone like Alirez.
If Alirez was in the portal, I'd be fine with it. Don't love the actively poaching guys not in the portal
Don’t disagree with you there, but if no one is willing to stop it you need to engage.
It’s kind of like putting your foot in the line in neutral. It’s a clear rule that is supposed to be a caution. 99% of the time it’s never called so why worry about getting called for it.
I for one think there’s already too much bureaucracy. The amount of additional employees the NCAA would have to hire and manage to get these coaches to play the game the fair if that was everyone’s attitude would be crazy. Imagine if everyone in this country decided to do whatever the hell they wanted because there aren’t enough cops to stop us from doing so.
Sports are around to teach young kids about integrity and teamwork and building character. A few select athletes make any money. It isn’t about if anyone is watching. Coaches should be playing the game within the guidelines that are set in place otherwise there is no integrity in the game and it’ll soon dissolve - which very well might be coming.
500k for a wrestler so you can be top 3 maybe is absurd. I’d rather do it like dresser and fight for top 5 with a reasonable NIL fund. Unless you think you can bankroll a natty, let the iowas and Michigans gut each other by sucking money from their donors for a few years and build through recruiting with a couple economical transfers and retain our guys. When their donors get tired of paying or they finally do enough damage to weaken PSU then you can make your run.
I read this at first and was thinking I'd sure enjoy a trophy in Ames. But then if you think about building our new facility and the development of our wrestlers. Plus our steady climb, I think we are doing what is best for us now and in the long run.
welcome to the new ncaa / nil is just a legal way to sidestep what's been going on under the table for decades.
anyone think the fab 5 just all ended up at Michigan back in 91
Chris Webber (#4)
Jalen Rose (#5),
Ray Jackson (#21)
Jimmy King (#24)
Juwan Howard (#25),
The fab 5 got around 600,000 dollars when they were "students". Curious what they would have made in this era.
Sounds about right. If Reggie Bush gets his heisman , they should be able to put their banners back up.
Good to know so different than wrestling coaches recruiting blue chip kids and then buying proven college commodities instead and not developing their already elite talent
If there are no updates, then it stands to reason things aren't trending in a positive direction.
