    Hector we have a problem: RU grad sues school over sports spending

    I would support this law suit if they just changed the target from the Athletics Department to the Human Resources Department. Year after year the HR Department sucks up valuable resources with no discernible value added, no revenue, and no plan for fiscal self sustainability.

    2027 NCAA for RU?

    I wonder what happened to those rumored multi year contracts. That would really help Pike, RU, and the quality and state of basketball. Because you need to get at least a year out of a player you develop after the year you develop them.

    NIL and Recruiting

    I’m The reported roster expenses of 15 to 20 mil were reported as relying on NIL sources that would be in theory disallowed under the new rules. it’s totally fair to doubt the NCAA‘s ability or stomach to enforce this. Also, I don’t know if anyone knows what will happen now in terms of illegal...

    NIL and Recruiting

    With the House Settlement, the NCAA lost the ability to loosely “oversee” NIL, which previously meant any money that could be raised could be packaged as NIL, and replaced it with what is supposed to be a more regulated system: A College Sports Commission (CSC) now acts as a clearinghouse +...

    NIL and Recruiting

    I heard that many of the top teams were able to funnel a lot of one time money into the salary pool before the new NIL rules were set. So it will be interesting to see if the numbers for the very top teams come back closer to the league average.

    NIL and Recruiting

    This was totally AI supported. It's my work. I directed the analysis and went back and forth on what I wanted it to say and then edited the results. But no way I'd have time to do an analysis like this without AI.

    NIL and Recruiting

    True. A lot of the reporting talks about one piece. Either the revenue share (usually around 3 mil for most schools) or the NIL or the NIL just for incoming players.

    NIL and Recruiting

    New analysis on NIL / “GM-ing” vs. recruiting My player development thread clearly pointed to Pikiell being a good player development coach, and also showed in pretty stark relief how bad recruiting has been. But traditional recruiting has now largely been replaced by general managing with a...

    Pikiell Player Development

    I think there is a reason we were able to land him as a recruit in the first place.

    Pikiell Player Development

    Agree on appreciating the civility. Thank you. The way I'm looking at it, and the way I did the analysis, is to assume that players will perform to their ranking and expectation. And any divergence from that, up or down, is evidence of above or below average player development. So if a coach...

    Pikiell Player Development

    Everyone is in agreement that the recruiting has been the main issue. This analysis is specifically about player development once we got a recruit with a smidge of talent in the door.

    Pikiell Player Development

    You can't develop someone without the baseline requisite talent. That's a recruiting issue. So I'm not following what you are trying to say.
