Yep. The floor at UNI for everybody on the roster is $15K. Highest paid this year made $140k and had 3 other guys in high 5 figures. Kids are getting checks everywhere.

Offer to Fish was in the $

Do they have a collective that pays that? Heck their FB budget was 2nd lowest only to WIU ( which left the MVC). Thinking they don’t do that for FB but who knows.

He played AAU with Milan, and Tyler and Tyrese are also buds. Not sure what roster construction will look like next year, but I can’t imagine spending a scholarship on this.
You get 15

We can’t afford even 13 to be good enough to contribute in games. So trying to gain an edge inning recruiting has some merit

Yes. There's a collective that only goes towards basketball and volleyball.

UNI will also opt in and share approximately $1.3M in revenue payments with no payments to football and the vast majority to MBB.

It’s not the players demands that are causing an increase in salaries, it’s the willingness of schools and donors to outspend the competition

It’ll take an employment and a CBA.

And likely a high major wide for-profit owner, like PE, to end the aforementioned prisoners dilemma.

Players will still make a lot, more than now, but it will be structured.

Get multiple year contracts and allow for trades/loans. Making offseasons even more enjoyable imo.
It's both, players wanting more and schools willing to pay it. These are not professional athletes until lately, and this system is out of control, with no rules or contracts unlike professional sports. If the players want the money and the schools are willing to pay it, then the players are going to have to commit to staying at a school for a set number of years. The schools cannot cut a scholarship player and take away their scholarship, why should players not be held to the same standard?

You’re living in the past and ignoring basic economics

Shoehorning big business into amateurism is the underlying problem. Not-for-profits will flame the arms race and prisoners dilemma

It needs employment and CBA to get things under control, which means paying players a lot of money, but with contracts to exchange risk

Interesting. Same position as either Jefferson or Momcilovic

Feel like with NIL/portal a staff needs to be prepared to replace every kid on their roster because who knows what other schools are willing to pay your elite players.

He's not the shot blocker I would prefer at the 5, but those 3 would be a pretty formidable front court. He's definitely a rebound machine, especially on offense. And if Jefferson plays more of a point-forward spot next year, then he makes a lot of sense in the paint.

It's a good sign if we can compete financially with some of the schools on that list.
