Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4654820, member: 5798"] NIL will make (in my opinion) WCBB much much different than we know it now. [B]We may not recognize it in 5 years. [/B]:( Greed will turn what is a beautiful thing in Division 1 men's and women's college basketball into an unlevel playing field if nothing else. Don't be surprised to see the rich get richer like Kim Mulkey and LSU did this spring. I can see two tiers of teams if you will, i.e. UConn, Notre Dame, Stanford, Tennessee, The Carolinas, LSU, USC, UCLA, Maryland, Louisville, Texas, Duke, etc., that will continue to vie for and attract the top recruits every year. The smaller "unranked" non-P5 schools (small state colleges and directional schools...Bowling Green, SE Louisianna, etc.) that are not attractive to the top 100 ranked recruits in high school classes because of their inability to compete with the MAJOR programs with respect to NIL opportunities for their players. Recruits will almost always follow the money at the direction of their parents, coaches, friends, and influencers. Those other programs will get the "leftovers" unwanted by the top 25 or so programs.....the 4th & 5th best players on high school teams. [/QUOTE]
