"I think it was a big mistake by the NCAA not to do a framework around NIL when they had the opportunity to," Baker said during the Future of College Athletics Summit

What a genius that guy is. I mean, actually putting in place rules for something before it happens. Being proactive instead of reactive. Give Baker a membership to mensa for that knowledge bomb.

That isn't what the new president of the NCAA said: "I think it was a big mistake by the NCAA not to do a framework around NIL when they had the opportunity to," Baker said during the Future of College Athletics Summit, not far from Capitol Hill. "And I think there were too many people in college sports who thought no rules would work really well for them. And what everybody's discovered is no rules, no transparency, no accountability, no framework, doesn't work well for anybody."

And I agree 100% but the thing about it is big $$ spokes people are just like politicians. To hell with what they say just watch what they do. Had they just added team NIL caps and shared the revenue amongst ALL the players in some some sort of equitable manner I'd say it's a step in the right direction but now you see what it's turned in to. Just another $$ thing and a smoother transition for the more gifted athletes in to the world of play for pay ball. I'd say a LOT of these kids NIL $$ is well north of anything the G league will pay and the difference between G league team loyalty and college team loyalty is the diff in night and day. All about the Benjamin's baby and the NCAA knew it from day 1.

As expected since they were the ones who tampered with him and convinced him to decommit.

The problem with NIL and portal is that it wasn't thought through, with no real guard rails.

But what guard rails could you put in that you would be okay with implementing for ANY college sport? Only thing I see missing is transparency with NIL deals. Who's paying the student athlete and how much? Some want to put a cap on NIL money across the board. I could be okay with that put who am I to tell this business that I'm not okay with you paying player A 50k for a commercial but 15k is alright by me.

It’s not Hubert entirely, it’s the state of college basketball. Certainly Roy would’ve handled things differently, but alas, I’m pretty sure that’s why he’s not doing it anymore.

If there was a transfer portal when Roy was coaching you don't think he would have had players leave?

Interesting fact: Wilcher is the highest-rated high school prospect to come to Queens in a decade

Never under estimate Slick Rick when it comes to recruiting, some had stated St. John's had no available scholarships. When someone who crosses the line as Slick Rick does anything is possible, sad but true.

I wish Wilcher well! I hope he is successful but I don't want that POS Pitino to ever win anything! Of course $$$ were involved since all kids ask about their NIL potential during recruitment now. Pitino probably did do something underhanded, but I wouldn't say it was simply promising money; Wilcher wants guaranteed PT at his preferred position so that is probably what happened!

 

[heels05champs]

This one isn’t hard to figure out. St. John’s has a billionaire booster that stated recently he will pony up the money needed for Rick to compete for championships. I’m sure Wilcher was taken care of. Lack of a scholarship doesn’t matter if paying your way is built into the NIL package they were offering.

Willing to wait to see how Wilcher fits into the St. John's scheme this upcoming basketball season, then we be able to form an opinion as to whether it even matters or not.

I don’t like to admit it but Pitino is a good coach just dirty AF…the rest is up to Wilcher…..he can be a bit unforgiving with his players…

Self is the modern day Pitino. They can both flat out coach, but there may not be any more sleezy cheaters in the history of the game.

OR if UNC starts compromising ethically and/or abandons the Family idea or the Carolina Way-This would cause me to change my loyalty!

It's already there bro .. just takes some a little longer than others to see it. jmo

 

[adwood81]

I am afraid of the alternative to my optimistic view.
There is virtually no regulation on NIL and the transfer rules have become so lax that an escalation of this chaos seems likely.

Here’s a crazy idea: since college players are professionals anyway, how long todo you think it’ll be before players who left for the NBA with eligibility remaining but didn’t make it go back to college? If Justin Jackson goes another couple of years out of thr NBA, could he come back and play his last year at UNC?

MJ, Worthy and others have eligibility still. Why not? I know I am just being silly but this entire circus is a joke
