My bad, yes we did, and it was $40K each. Not sure why I was thinking $70K each. |

I know Tom Gola2.0 on Twitter is not very popular on here but he has a theory that I think may be a possibility. Nothing announced because La Salle and Dunphy have a small list of candidates to see if they would accept if he retired. Didn't think of that but that may be plausible. Perhaps there is someone coaching in the tournament that Dunphy wants La Salle to interview and hire? |

5 in the portal including the walk on...Del was right. Tell me exactly how a coach is supposed to build a team over 2-3 years? Where's the player development aspect and team building come into play? If this is going to be the norm, it's all on recruiting and game day coaching. Developing players goes out the window.
I said this on another thread. The portal shouldn't open until the Tuesday after the National Championship game. No other sports league in the country has free agency during the postseason. Also, NIL money should be contingent upon finishing the season. This will prevent guys skipping out of the NIT, and in the Dayton player's case, skipping out of the NCAA Tourney.
If this NIL and Portal thing is here to stay, without congressional regulation, for good, there have to be rules put into place. Every sports league has salary caps/luxury tax, revenue sharing, anti-tampering rules. It ensures the integrity and the well being of the sport. There has to be checks and balances in place for this to be sustainable.
This will be my last comment on the Drame twins, unless they ball out in the Dance. My bigger issue with them is the transferring within the A10. Did Gambrot recruit them in the handshake line after we bounced the Dukes from the A10 Tourney? Because some of these scumbags will do that. Some of them have standards, and some don't. If we can't rely on coaches to ethically police themselves, we need anti tampering rules. Make it punishable by fines and loss of scholarships. The team they tampered against gets the fine money and can use it for NIL. Checks and balances, or this thing won't be sustainable.

Pains me to say it but if the new norm is virtually complete roster turnover I'll find it difficult to retain the enthusiasm to cheer, support the team or buy season tickets even with the new arena... And this doesnt encourage me to contribute to NIL...Its becoming more like putting together AAU Teams... Feeling sad..

When I read the Portal Report listing of players in the portal it makes me think it would be easier to list the names of those not in the Portal. I understand that the temptation is great to jump in and see what's out there but some guys may have nothing. Do teams give kids deadlines to decide if they're coming back? Any body think one or more of our guys may change their mind. This is chaos!

The best school for Jhamir Brickus on the list is Virginia. Virginia needs offense bad after being blown out in the play in round of the tournament. They might pay Brickus a nice NIL money. And last, Virginia in the ACC and always in the NCAA tournament. That be a nice fit for Brickus. |

duquesne has a pretty substantial nil fund, and it's going to get bigger once they name dru joyce the head coach after their season is over. if anyone was wondering where duquesne will be getting a lot of their nil money, here's your answer. |

Best school on that list for Brickus is Richmond. He would kill it there.
The thing he needs to consider is how far does he want go to play away from his child? In today’s NCAA I am sure his family can be put up at a 4 star hotel and maybe provide transportation for them them from Coatesville to where he is playing.
What a circus.

And this doesnt encourage me to contribute to NIL...Its becoming more like putting together AAU Teams... Feeling sad.. I support the school and BB program as part of the school not the other was around. I think the current administration is making good strides. We are finally getting the arena makeover we all wanted. Do I like NIL, for sure not. To say you will not attend or give to nil is shortsighted. If I lived close I would be at many games but I do not. So I give to nil and the BB program. If the players we want return that is great but if not I willl cheer for the team Fran puts on the floor. It is about the school and the program not just basketball |

There's also a major executive at Beats who ran track at Duquesne. Not sure if he gives to the NIL, but when he came on campus last year to speak to some of the athletes, they all received Duquesne-branded Beats headphones. My daughter on the rowing team was given a pair. |

To say you will not attend or give to nil is shortsighted. I think calling people "shortsighted" because they don't want to give to NIL is a bit harsh. I won't give to NIL. I donate to certain academic departments at the school and to the basketball program, but I'm not interested in paying for players, especially while I have my own kids in high school and college. |

Then we will not get players to stay or get the players we want from the portal. I do not view my comment as harsh but realistic. I do not expect that anyone person on the board can give large amounts to nil but working together it makes difference. Welcome to the new world gentleman |

Welcome to the new world gentleman You're actually making an argument here to not donate at all to the program at La Salle...because...why bother unless we also fund NIL? The collective should be out hitting up corporations and high wealth individuals to fund this. Maybe they are...I have no idea because there is no transparency around what is going in and coming out. |

The thing I agree with is that it makes it hard for me as a fan to get invested when the possibility exists of the roster turning over every single year. That's not me blaming the players or pining for the "good old days," but its just the reality. Everyone is excited about Deuce Jones coming here, but what are the chances he's even on the team by Opening Day November 2025?
I don't know the answer to any of this, but that aspect of it does kind of stink, as a fan. We're 30+ years into modern free agency in every pro sport, and most people have accepted that's the nature of the beast now. But it's not every player every single year.

No doubt the fan is hurt most in today’s college sports landscape.
Not a good recipe for a business when your customers are hurt most by change.
This is unsustainable. These are the facts. The NCAA would be wise to figure a way to scale the movement down somehow. I just don’t see college athletics continue to prosper if stays the current path.

You also aren't being asked to donate your own money to pay those players in other sports. The owners do that. Free agency is fine, but don't have a bake sale with people already being asked to buy tickets and donate to an arena to then contribute to the collective. |

Yeah, to be honest I think this current system is trying to hold together two totally divergent ideas with dental floss. Players getting paid for their services and having freedom of movement like any other athlete or employee, but doing it without contracts and within the framework of Colleges and Universities. It's a 7-10 split to continue further mixing my metaphors. |
