We’re a feeder program. It sucks. The 4th consecutive year of losing top talent tells you all you need to know. He’s going to be a great player for someone. A Tarris Reed.

It would’ve been more surprising had we retained our best players.

Believe the ask was $3M?

If we truly have $8M this cycle why not just pay him then? It’ll be interesting to see what he actually gets.

we should just save our money every 4 years and field a team of great transfers.
Every four years is probably a stretch, but every other year should work. Beyond that, these are the types of ideas that our decisionmakers are incapable of formulating. Simple, rational, contrarian, and very likely to work. But because it’s not within the four corners of what everyone else was doing three years ago, it’s completely off the table.

I can't imagine it's so simple. I would imagine you have to use the revenue share money each year. I would guess revenue share is the bulk of our money.

Not sure if we can read into Hines statement but he makes no mention of Seton Hall, Coach Holloway or any of the assistants. We knew in December he was going to be hard to keep but its telling to me that there was no mention of our coach or Seton Hall. Sad.

I said the same yesterday, feels like the cord is cut. Shame.

It's always been about money, just the dollars weren't as big as now. It's been going on since before Sam Gilbert. This would've happened for under the table money if there was a no sit out rule.
Relax, it's an expression from when I was pouring my heart out to a call girl masquerading as a therapist.

But we have trading cards.

if we theoretically pooled our money for every 4 years and fans were on board. we would likely have the most successful tournament team at every four years, at worst 8. what's different in this current NIL situation?

The attendance would be close to sell outs every four years and 25% capacity other three years when team is horrendous. Not sure that works financially.
