If Stanford makes a call there is no planet on which you do not take that call.
NIL is separate from revenue sharing.
Teams will still offer “NIL” and if the NCAA committee tries to argue it is not “real” NIL they will get sued by the state the team is located in. Until there is a player collective agreement in place nothing will change.
I thought the rev share model was supposed to replace the NIL model. Most pundits made it seem that way, which is why the whole "Big East will have an advantage over the P4 in basketball" narrative started. If NIL is still uncapped and is only restricted by "fair market value" that narrative doesn't hold any weight.
I think most pundits just didn't bother to look at it closely. NIL is going to remain a thing and some schools really have it set up big time.
Benedict has seen arguably the most successful athletic department possibly in school history. I selfishly would love to keep him as long as possible.
But Alumni of the school have as much interest in doing that as Harvard. They are much more interested in Olympic sports particularly women sports.
It's only 5 wins, but Moorhead has quietly done a pretty decent job this year. Akron had 7 total wins from 2019-2023 including a winless season.
Not sure I remember if Mora had an active agent in his dealings w/ AD David Benedict. I imagine if they reached out - he’d at least listen for the sake of the UConn renewal process if that’s his goal.
Now THATS how you court Jim!
Well then they should’ve ponied up to save the PAC12. Stanford in the ACC is awful for their Olympic sports more than anything.
I don’t disagree about Mora, but you’re asking the wrong question. The question that matters is whether it’s reasonably likely that if we have to hire a replacement he will be at least as good as Mora.
With back to back nine win seasons is he the greatest football coach UConn has ever had?
