Message: [QUOTE="Kitaman, post: 4986131, member: 67"] I'm not sure if UConn has mastered the portal/NIL. I just think we have managed it well so far but its too new to draw conclusions. For players its the money, not Coaches (including Hurley). I understand Hurley values the parent/player relationship and uses it as a way to measure character. It seems to be working. Just saying we are talking teenagers who have an opportunity to make more money than their parents at 18/19 years old. Immaturity and money do not mix. No one talks about the impact on other teammates. Teenagers get jealous easily, and now you have a teammate who is a millionaire getting shine and you ain't. This has implications in the locker room and on the court. They need to financially reward every collegiate athlete, and treat them as professionals if that's were this is headed. Split evenly (communism in basketball LOL). This is a mess. [/QUOTE]
