Message: [QUOTE="uconndogs, post: 4236128, member: 57"] I get the humor in that, but to be serious for a moment, I was probably a very knowledgeable college sports fan, I don't know, maybe +90 percentile? My guess is that folks like me who aren't SEC or BiG alumni are the ones most disillusioned. I just keep on coming back to a football playoff where just about everyone on the field is making some serious coin and the rest of the bowls are just about meaningless because the best players won't want to play for risk of injury. It's just a much different beast. I don't think basketball is out of the woods on this either. It may be more manageable for programs like UCONN to develop NIL programs in hoops given our hoops legacy and the fact that there are just fewer kids in the program than for football. But, I certainly don't think that's a given. I can see top basketball recruits getting huge money - xseven figures. If you can't build a system to support that how do you compete? [/QUOTE]
