Heck of a step up from Kyle Neptune….

Maryland fans are going to invade and burn down the Main Line

He made Seton Hall respectable and brought Maryland back to relevance. He will do very well at Nova. Not Jay Wright-well but occasional Elite 8 or Final 4.

Good for the Big East

Here's an interesting take on it.

Why Kevin Willard moving from Maryland to Villanova is a good sign for the Big East

Is revenue sharing shifting the college basketball landscape yet again? One thing is certain: Maryland got a taste of its own medicine

I hope so but there's no evidence for this

I think Sean Miller and Kyle Neptune for Pitino Jr and Kevin Willard is a fair trade. Big East didn't downgrade

It makes a good point, and one I'm seeing mentioned elsewhere. The $20 million payout mostly dedicated to men's hoops works for everyone in the BE, except, you know...

My thought exactly we will have to give up at least half of the money to football and then you have the women’s team but the rest of the schools have women’s teams but they are not as significant to the school brand than our women’s team. Without them we are not the “CBB Capital of the World”.

He got Maryland to the Sweet 16 this year, and Nova has more NIL and a larger MBB budget so Elite 8/Final 4 should not be out of the question. Plus, he has experience in the Big East and did a lot with a little at Seton Hall.

20 years ago, this would have been a puzzling move, but things have changed a lot.

Which is why if the Pac-12 comes back around a second time to inquire of our interest in a football-only arrangement, it will probably make sense if we can get an additional 5-6 million per year in TV money (assuming the new Pac-12 deal is 8-9 million per year). We almost need to join them in football now for NIL purposes.

Now the league just needs to get rid of English, Matta, and Holloway.

Y'know, that's how I feel about this. I don't have any strong feeling about Willard.

 

[HCCForever]

About time he signed. Willard must be taking advice from Aaron Rogers. But this would appear to be good choice by Villanova.

Holloway is a good coach. He just didn't have the institutional support/NIL money. Kadari never would have left had Seton Hall matched SJU's offer.

Their new practice facility just opened and they're gonna go from $1.5M to like $6M.

Maybe the university needs to split into two. UConn-Storrs North gets all the non-football sports and can share $20 million, UConn-Storrs South gets football and can share $20 million.

He didn't but he still lost to several mid majors out of conference. Seton Hall spends more than Monmouth and Fordham combined on basketball. He needed to win those games.

Very interesting article. Every Big East school is expected to spend a minimum of $4 million on NIL for MBB (if I understand that correctly). The Big Ten and SEC schools are only expected to spend $3-4 million. There is a real possibility that the Big East will have the top 5 NIL MBB budgets next year.

He has never coached a team past the sweet 16. This was mentioned several times during the tournament broadcasts.

I have a question about the school budgets.

My understanding is what the school can guarantee the player comes from that $4-$5 million amount or whatever portion of the $20.5 M very school will commit to their MBB programs.

My assumption is that there really is no cap on what the player can make outside that guaranteed number through other deals. Like the Waltons giving a player $2M just to show up at a few events or spending a few days being greeters in one their stores.

I use the example of door greeter to ask the question does the player have to do anything to earn the extra endorsement $$$ or can the Waltons just tell a recruit hey we will throw in another $1-2 M a year just for choosing Arkansas. This is an honest question, I have no idea what the answer is on if there is any hard cap on what a player can earn.

Not an inspirational hire for one of the supposed cornerstone programs of the Big East.

This is good news, and shows not everything is about football.
