I always thought that unrestricted money was the factor that was going to damage the sport perhaps inalterably. I'm sure I wasn't the one who thought that the reason for the transfers over the summer was not simply about coaching. The problem isn't money as in just paying players, the problem is the two headed monster of NIL and the transfer portal at the same time and an NCAA that has basically abdicated its authority and oversight function. So it's all up for grabs and the bigger the slush (NIL) fund the better the team and the players it can buy as this plays itself out into the future.

I heard on the radio today as there was speculation about who is replacing Saban that it would be a step down now to go from coaching college football at Texas to Alabama. The reason- the fund at Texas is through the roof and Bama , despite its rabid fan base, can't match the Longhorns'. Is that what we want? Do we want the quality of the players on a women's college basketball team to be a function of the wealth of the alumni?
