I think I’m in love.

Really good press conference! Have to be optimistic about the team after hearing her.

I understand that NIL is a problem and it is easy to assume that these kids are making the decisions to leave. Keep in mind that isn’t always the case and sometimes these decisions to leave are encouraged for the betterment of everyone. That is true and I believe many are thinking their playing day...

I know that most of them grew up in tough circumstances and the money will be sent home . My concern is that the money will be gone in a year or two and the kid will have no degree to fall back on. I would feel a lot better if they graduated then transferred to cash out. The new system incentivizes...

Am I the only one that isn't going to pull for players when they leave App? I'm not rooting against them, but I don't feel any lingering ties to a player that transfer. I'll caveat that with the exception of grad transfers. I am with you. If they have a degree I will pull for them but I don't feel ...

We are talking about amateur athletes getting paid $25-$100k (on top of a $25k scholarship and $6k stipend annually) to play in front of maybe 5k people and on ESPN+ with less than 30k viewers. I recommend reading that sentence out loud to realize how crazy and unsustainable this is for anyone outs...

The lower level athletes will struggle or become extinct before the power conferences feel any level of “hurt”. Unintentional consequences Indeed. A big reason many of us warned about this pay to play stuff. Many issues have popped up that were not intended to happen but that is why it is always sm...

We are no where near the median if the report is accurate.

I have heard 2 people say around 200k is the average in the Sun Belt and I was thinking the same thing as you.

I read a 247 article that says the median basketball NIL spending for 2024-25 will be $1.5m per team. That is among power programs. The Sun Belt average is about 200k I heard. Even that number seems out of reach for us, not that I have any basis of knowledge on that issue. I would be surprised if w...

I can't imagine any of the guys transferring out will be starters in the ACC, but I could be wrong. Has there been ANY reports of guys we are looking at to bring in? I haven't seen any players list App as a possibility on social media. I would think there is a chance Spillers does at Wake Forest. I...

Hope he knows to set aside 50k for his taxes.

All of them better know to do that but we don't need to worry about it. He made a grown man decision and I understand it because he apparently does not come from money.

Welcome, Alaura! Congrats to her and I hope she can take the team to the next step!

McHugh has entered portal. Going to maybe need another QB or promote Estep to Scholarship. Sorry to hear this. I had heard that he might have been the best passer on the roster but not as mobile. Hope he ends up somewhere that his skills fit the plan better. Our coaches have done several things rig...
