Transfer Portal Starting to Load

Olander started then came out quickly and others played more minutes. I'm originally from Trumbull so I rmember Harold Jensen in high school. His feshman year when they beat GTown in the championship game, he played more minutes than the nominal starter and upperclassman Dwight Wilbur. Coaches do this all the time for a variety of reasons.

Tyler Olander has double the championships than does Jim Boeheim. A seldom raised point here.
 
If we could get Alvaro on board -Luke would be getting closer to that Euro flavor he's been looking for. Reibe/Alvaro/Furphy for some Tasmanian spice. Two way players with BBIQ

Mahaney had 17 in the URI exhibition on 6-9 shooting. Diarra played well off the bench. Seemed like we had good pieces in place. That lasted five games - basically until Memphis punched Aidan in the mouth - and then we made the switch.

Stewart started for 6 weeks with Liam out. And he started a couple games with Alex out. He had his chances to take on a larger role.

As did Nowell. The first guard off the bench role was there for the taking and he didn’t take it. I wanted it to happen, but it just didn’t. He wasn’t ready. I’m tracking point guards in the portal because I saw nothing out of Nowell that leads me to believe he’s capable of getting the keys next year. If he comes back a new player and wins the job over a portal guy, great. I’ll hop on board. But we better get some competition since I didn’t even see flashes out of him where I thought “he’s going to be really good once he figures it out.”

The problem with these arguments is people are creating fictional versions of players. There’s some version of Nowell in people’s heads where he’s Kyle Lowry if only he got more of a chance. Or if we didn’t sign Cam Spencer and played Jayden Ross last year, he’d be All-Big East. It’s hard to argue against a hypothetical. In reality, those guys had chances to step up and didn’t seize them. And if they don’t respond to that challenge, they are probably not the guy we want with the ball in the second half against Florida.

Backup QB syndrome. Tale as old as time.

I hate portal season. When will it be over (at least us knowing who is gone)

Portal closes April 22. I'd imagine we should have a good idea by the end of next week who's gone from our team though

Can someone explain to me how this House v. NCAA settlement actually works. From my understanding there will be 20.5 million in revenue sharing starting now for the upcoming year which will increase in subsequent years and back pay to former athletes who didn't benefit from NIL. How much money will former athletes get? How is it determined what they should've gotten and will now get? This applies to every D1 athlete or only athletes in revenue generating sports? How far back does it go?
Expand ...
It is not finalized, so nobody knows 100% how it will work. There is a meeting next month with the judge to try and get it over the goal line.

Based on what they have so far, they decide which athletes get back pay based on the statute of limitations. It's like a decade or something pre-NIL era. The amount is based on the sport, split based on a formula they arbitrarily devised based on some media rights value (75 football, 15 mbb, 5 wbb, 5 everyone else). It's like a 2.7 billion pot that was agreed upon already.

The money is coming from the NCAA and the conferences. The power conferences are paying more, but the Big East is pissed because they have to pay more disproportionately to what their athletes "earned" in hypothetical NIL relative to the power conferences who had football players (see the 75% football number above).

Going forward, each school can decide how much to spend on each sport. Duke could spend $20 million on basketball, for example. It does seem most schools are claiming they will split the revenue sharing in a similar manner to the formula devised for the former athletes, in part to try to prevent future lawsuits.

The conferences will put a lot of pressure on schools to at least try to keep up in football. Someone like Duke or Kentucky might fudge a little, but not all that far out of line (and make up for it the old fashioned way -- alumni paying the players).

Yeah, "revenue sharing" to me sounds like everyone is going to have to increase their subsidies.

Just when they have major holes in their research budgets.

Impeccable timing.

The SEC should do very well since some of the research funding faucet has been turned back on in red states like Oklahoma.

This isn't a political argument.

We're talking sports.
We're talking revenue sharing.
We're talking subsidies.
Some states will have fed. research money, others won't.

The strategy of stealing the best or other contibuting players from "in conference" teams is a horrible look but definitely a good business deicsion. Pitino has now taken players from Uconn, Seton Hall and now possibly Providence. I'd have to beleive he's made calls to uconn players this season as well.

Pitino is in the transaction(s) business. Not hung up on BE politics. He has an excellent eye for talent and knows what his roster needs are. I like you-What's your number- I'll see if I can make it happen-If I can get it-Are we good?

BTW-If at all possible-Before the end of March Madness. LOL

I agree with the horrible part, I hate it and I think they should restrict the in-conference transfers in some way. Maybe the new team has to pay some NIL $ to the team they’re coming off of, I know that would never happen though.

I'm not talking about the recruiting. That just happens sometimes, and I'm talking about starting and playing him 20-25 for the first bit of the season.

Worked out for Tristen didn’t work for Aidan.

When I saw him on Evan's xfer list I thought the same. Kid brings Euro experience as well. Andy Toole is a pretty good coach, so fundamentals should be very workable. Two years left. Granted the competition in the Colonial isn't the BE and this kid is well above the average Colonial league PF for skill, but I think he'd be a great fit here.

Horizon League, Robert Morris switched conferences some years back. I didn't know myself until I saw them playing for the title during Championship Week

Well, I'm an idiot. I knew they switched leagues because they didn't adjust to the level right away, but got the names of the leagues backwards.
