Anybody check out this Raoul post re: Walz's commentary on $$$ in the transfer portal and how it's affecting recruitment and roster size.
Say what you want about Coach Walz, he does cut tot the chase:

I find the whole process sickening.........while the players certainly deserve a piece of the action, there has to be a more efficient and less destructive way to allocate the funding..........women's basketball was my respite from the same nonsense in the men's game but apparently that is no longer the case......
 
I of course have no problem with players making money off endorsements and such, but was there really NO way to regulate it so that the schools themselves weren't the ones (overtly) offering or arranging such deals at the front end?

I need another long shower.

I get that we're guests, but we don't have to pretend UConn wins top tier recruiting and portal battles with neat dorms and great academic programs while everybody else is a buncha dirty, player-buyin' cheaters.

I think the UConn fans who believe that stick to the UConn-only board.

Unfortunate, but he gets no sympathy from me.

She comes across as not just a stellar player but also a fine human being. I sure hope she is not the portal person Jeff Walz is talking about in post 1,553, earlier in this thread. I'd hate to think that her dad is selling her to the highest bidder.
Expand ...
From what I’ve heard, she’s looking for the highest bidder.

However, I’m pretty sure she’s not the player mentioned in that post.

correct only difference between wcbb and mcbb
is the $ amounts and the number of schools
that have NIL money
my unsolicited suggestion is to turn off all the noise re NIL
and enjoy the games and the players which are better than ever

Exactly. Apparently, the way the legal battles played out, some part of the NCAA's regulatory authority was still recognized and this tricked schools into thinking they could be punished for individual players' missteps. If only the advent of NIL had coincided with the phasing out of the NCAA's oversight of player compensation.

300k is really life changing money (even in this crazy economy). I really have a hard time faulting the players and even parents for securing the bag, though I know money isn't everything. I didn't even think the payouts were really that high tbh. Someone said Lucy Olsen got a number like that from Iowa and I was thinking :rolleyes: . It's so interesting. I can't but help wonder who it was Coach Walz was referencing.

The term "the bag" is really annoying at this point but you can do a hell of a lot with 300k.

I would never say anyone is low character from profiting off the limited moments in their lives when they could make some real money for doing something they want to do.

for these college football players making possibly generational wealth before they even project as a true professional it's almost foolish not to leverage it.

A college is a college, football practices are football practices....if you can make 1.5m somewhere, what's the sense of doing the same job for 500k.

If someone offered me 300k/year, I'd leave the company I've been with for 31 years, but only if the offer was in NYC.
 
It’s a chance you’re taking. I’ve heard stories out of several schools that promise an amount and then the athlete never gets that amount. Not to mention the insane percentages these agents are charging. Or the lack of financial literacy these student athletes have, where they end up blowing most of it.

I think there’s just as many negatives as there are positives.

Yes, and what value can be placed on all the other factors .....performance team, quality of life, team culture, alumni internship opportunities, and career connections for life after basketball to name a few. These intangibles matter for more for long term success in life.
Yes, and the agent fees are insane...10% is crazy

I'm guessing she hasn't had a visit to UConn yet. The team has been busy with winning a championship, holding a parade and attending the WNBA draft.
