NIL + transfer portal impact on CBB

[August_West]

It's horrible for the sport and I don't know why some on this board are pretending it's not. It forced Jay Wright to retire 10-15 years before his time and my guess is it forced Roy into hanging it up early. The sport is on a really bad course with this stuff.

Yeah. This. College hoops as we knew it is over . We were lucky to live through what will be looked as the golden age, which I would say was 1970 -2020. There were definitely many abuses and charades during that period that needed addressing and needed to be cleaned up.

This was not the answer to that.

NIL has been good for the women....it may ruin the sport, but female athletes can now make the bucks...

An analysis by NIL Opendorse shows that women's basketball is second to football in the percentage of total NIL compensation by sport. It's higher than men's basketball in the ranking as of July 2021. Also rising: women's swimming and diving, women's volleyball and softball.

Yahoo Sports reports that Bueckers can make up to $63,000 for a single social media post — more than nine male players in the Sweet 16 combined, sharing her brand with almost 1 million followers on Instagram alone.. She also is filing a trademark for "Paige Buckets."

If I were a current player on a d1 team, and I just found out our boosters are now paying another player to transfer to my team, wouldn't I be asking for mine?

Seems to me you need a constant flow to the whole roster.

That was my point. If Charlie D’Amelio will help Stephon Castle build a huge social network it is very valuable.

Yes, the whole family. I was just adding that Craig Austrie’s wife Heather has a whole business doing that. UConn has some good connections in that space.

With NCAA Embroiled in Chaos, Notre Dame’s Swarbrick Calls Division I Breakup ‘Inevitable’ | Sports Illustrated

Notre Dame AD Jack Swarbrick says total Division I realignment is ‘inevitable’ - Sports Illustrated

Wholesale change is unavoidable in college athletics. The Fighting Irish athletic director thinks a total realignment of Division I is coming with it.

Lol @ the doomerism in this thread. Both Castle and Newton are big time prospects from Georgia yet neither are going to an SEC school or all the other scary monsters under the bed thrown around here. Why?

 

[Kenny11]

Most nba players (role players) don’t even get anything close to this in endorsements. Why? Because it doesn’t make financial sense for a company to waste money on people the public doesn’t know or care about.

What is the legality of us playing a home game or two at Mohegan in exchange for them just so happening to funnel some NIL money to our future UConn NIL Collective? Maybe a little quid pro quo but does the NCAA really care anymore?

Feel like we should be getting the casinos on our side if they can help us out..

 

[Ratso]

more than NIL, the transfer portal is the game changer imo. old school recruiting culture coaches need to adapt

Anything seems to go these days so why not?

It gives them a guaranteed 10k more people in the casino. It’d be a nice relationship to start building

the nil really might be the ncaa's greatest scam.

hey we make billions just from the NCAA tournament rights, the conferences are racking upwards of $50 million dollars a year per school from their own tv rights....but sorry mr. wealthy donor gonna need you to fork over more money to pay this recruit/transfer or else our biggest rival will do it and land the player instead.

absolute fraud of a system. ncaa wins again.

Agreed. Some profit sharing model would make much more sense.

The real question will be, will players changing schools every year end up hurting the product enough to hurt viewership? If so, they obviously have a lot of innovation to do in terms of the structure, and we all know how good the ncaa is at that.

You think the NCAA is pocketing billions?

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

I think the NCAA reallocates hundreds of millions to D2/D3 sports and other programs so it's not like they are pocketing g all this money. Now, I do think there are a bunch of NCAA employees that don't earn their paychecks.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Sometimes I wonder what industries people work in. The whole of college sports is small time. The NCAA did have gross revenue of $1.6B. The #500 company in the Fortune 500, Ricoh, in the oh so modern copier industry, was at $23.2B. It has a lot more visibility than it does revenue. Pro sports are the same.

that's what the tv rights deal is for the ncaa tournament with turner/cbs. just one source of their revenue. the poor ncaa isn't pocketing 100% of that revenue, they must really not have the money anywhere to compensate the student athletes who make that event even possible.

Mark Emmert makes about $2.9 million a year. I consider that theft.

Please. Nobody would pay to see any of those people play if they weren’t in the jerseys of their school. Its a system that is mutually beneficial.

I couldn't care less that some players are making good money now, and I'm not sure why anyone else does. There have always been the haves and have nots in college basketball, the only difference is that more players are actually able to benefit now.

Yeah but the top talent is just going to go to Duke, Kansas, UNC and Kentucky! Can’t see how things have changed???
