Amen. NIL is short term and Dan Hurley is stressing long term.

He'll deal with NIL because it's here, but his focus is on his players' lives for the decades after they leave UConn.

The guest speakers he's brought in and the presentations being made to the players appeal to parents too. They want their kids to succeed beyond the basketball court and he's getting them ready not just for the few years they might play professionally, but for their entire lives.

Dan Hurley's biggest hurdle will be short term thinking. Use of a car for a year is nothing compared to the extra money Rip made over his career. He took JC's advice when he told him the big money is in the second contract.

How does RIP's career path compare to Gabriel or Diallo?
