What’s ahead for UConn as it enters first ‘real offseason’ in portal, NIL era

Maybe we don’t really disagree
The college is the brand I get that the brand is evolving and don’t get why folks have a problem with that
don’t think it makes any difference whether the budget is 20 million like it is for Ohio State football or goes to 50 million and everybody’s a paid professional player
It seems we’re already there, and it doesn’t seem to affect interest or popularity
Perhaps it’s the cynicism in me about the system before NIL that influences my view lol
I just don’t see how much has changed with NIL other than the larger $ (players were getting paid 50+ years ago, and I saw the envelopes )and don’t understand the angst . No one complains about Hurleys salary of 4 million because that he said he earned it. And that’s probably true. The players start to get a taste in the world gonna end
thankfully we had a Supreme Court justice do the right thing(it does pain me to give props to justice
Kavanaugh)
As always value your point of view!!

I think it's worse because it dramatically shrinks the field of schools who can compete. I'm a fan of what NIL is supposed to be, I'm not a fan of the pay to play that it is. It's nice kids who are good enough can jump to a higher level but I don't think kids should be transferring 4 times in 4 years and I don't think how good a school is should be based on who has the most billionaires who want to have a good basketball/football team. I would've preferred watching all these kids for Belmont in the sweet 16 instead of them playing for SEC and Big 10 teams.

Hurley makes a lot more than 4 million per year.
