    1:  One big problem with the NIL (aka pay for play) is that the universities are what draw the fans, not the players.  People argue that "they deserve a piece of the pie", etc., but the big money comes from rabid fans and alumni of the schools, not from fans wanting to watch certain players.  I wish they would form a minor league football and see how much interest there is...wait, we already have that.  It's called the XFL, USFL, UFL and the players don't make much money ($5,500/wk) and there aren't many fans at the games.  Put the Rengades in Alabama uniforms and the Stallions in Auburn uniforms and you'd sell out AT&T stadium.  Why, because the players don't matter, the universities are what matter (as it pertains to attendance).  Another example is the NBA D-League.  What kind of money are those guys making? (I'll save you the Google search, they make $25K/yr).   I have to assume that's peanuts compared to many of the NIL deals players are getting.  If you want to get paid, go pro.  Nobody is making you go to college to get a free education that will benefit you for the rest of your life.  

    2:  I hate the argument that "coaches make big money and can leave for another job whenever they want to."  See the last two sentences of the previous point.  If you want to be able to do that, go pro. Make it your career just like the coaches have done.  There are a very limited number of head coaching jobs at the college level and these coaches have put in LONG hours and worked their way up to the positions that they are in.  Nobody was giving them millions of dollars when they were a GA busting their tail for nothing.  

     

     

    this is a weird post...

    you contradict yourself saying that fans want to watch the uniforms not the players, but also acknowledge that the fans are directly playing the players to come play for their school?

    i also don't know what your second point is at all? are you saying that we should go pro in coaching if we think the current system is unfair? or is the argument that the salaries are fair?

    Call me crazy, but i think this is beneficial for Hodge. 

    Last year's team, for all the talk about defensive prowess, never seemed to have an identity. To his credit, Hodge moved forward with handing the reigns to Edwards and telling him to just get out there and fill it up, but this squad needed to hit the reset button. Here's to hoping he can build a successful roster moving forward.

    Sharing of revenue? When we move to the revenue sharing model? Schools aren't sharing anything. Colleges are doing what pro team owners dreamt they would've thought of... having fans pay salaries and owners (institutions in this scenario) raking it alllllll in...

    It's actually pretty amazing that this has happened... and the hustle still hasn't fallen apart for the schools. They can just crowdsource the work force AND get them to pay to watch them play. They get them coming and going!

    Tough game yesterday, but not unrealistic against Seton Hall. I'll be safe to lose some of these guys, but very excited for next year.

    I'm really hoping Hodge grows between year one and year two as well. (Not physically... But as a coach)

    I respectfully must challenge your statement.  The announcers clearly had personal relationships with the LSU staff and they stated several times during the broadcast that the squad wanted to be there.

    LSU may have wanted to be there, but UNT clearly wanted it more

    Our guys showed that they WANT to play basketball and get better. And it showed last night! 

    They definitely had more want to than LSU last night. Sissoko diving for that loose ball in the first half makes me hope the intensity level continues to increase during these games
