Im sick because I see the end of college sports. Only in a money world would we lose this one to never good ut.

If you want to blame anyone, start with football coaches getting $100 million deals and schools and conferences splitting billions while fighting to keep the players playing for free. When the dam finally broke, the idiots in charge had no way to regulate it properly. So don't act like this is on the athletes. The pendulum has a simply swinging back the other way with a vengeance.
Nunn is a Junior. Dennis is a Senior, but has a Covid year to use if he wants. Lohner is a Senior with Covid option too.Married A Horn said:

Right?

I might be the last person to defend NIL as I also despise what the NCAA has allowed to happen in college sports. But that said, we did not likely lose Tre Johnson because of NIL$. According to on3.com, Tre already had a $533K NIL evaluation as a high school athlete. This evaluation is a little better than Jakobe's, while our other two freshman and our High School signings have NIL evaluations somewhat below that. Tre would be making that kind of money pretty much anywhere he wants to play next year. Was there more on the table at UT? Possibly, but for someone looking at a $20mm contract in a year, it would seem a bit odd if that were a determining factor in his decision.gobears20 said:Im right there with youMarried A Horn said:gobears20 said:

It's truly sad
I don't worry about recruiting at all with Drew. In fact, I don't even pay attention to it, other than to check our commitment list from time to time. I know he'll bring some talented high school kids and fill any holes with experienced transfers through the portal and JUCO ranks.gobears20 said:

I've seen this expressed on these boards several times. How exactly is this the end of college sports?
All I see is massive TV contracts, super conferences, super sweet facilities being built and big endorsement deals

Spot on and more reason to move the Big12 Tournament to a larger market city - Las Vegas, etc. I can't wait for the Big12 Tournament this year....just dreading going to KCHotsauce said:robby44 said:

Well, you just sort of said it...it's the end of the P5 in football. If you aren't in the SEC or B1G, you're about to be a second tier college football league.
That's why I'm completely on board with BY's vision of creating a basketball super conference.
Wrights went up a little bit, but I have been tracking their rankings for over a year and they have remained steady.Crawfoso1973 said:
I wouldn't count on Asemota or especially Wright being around more than 1 year. Their stock is rising exponentially.
NIL won't be as big a deal in basketball as it is in football because CBB is just a one-year layover for the top players on their way to the NBA. If you know you're getting paid life-changing money in a year, you'll weigh other factors more heavily -- like fit, atmosphere, experience, program success, etc.Married A Horn said:robby44 said:Married A Horn said:gobears20 said:

Because this is spiraling towards nobody will be able to compete with the big rich state schools.
Eventually, it will be ut, aggy, ohio st, michigan, alabama, georgia, florida & florida st, lsu, usc, and maybe a couple of others. And that's it.
Basketball may take a little longer and the smaller schools may be able to sneak in and win a championship now and then...but we are now in the pro-collegiant era of buying players for championships.
Bummer, but I appreciate the clarification.DanaDane said:Big12Bear said:Nunn is a Junior. Dennis is a Senior, but has a Covid year to use if he wants. Lohner is a Senior with Covid option too.Married A Horn said:

I believe you are off a year on Dennis.
He played:
2019-20, 20-21 at Boise St (2 years)
2021-22, 22-23 at Toledo (2 years)
We are his 5th year. He doesn't get a 6th.
i'm leaning that direction tooWacoraisedbear said:
I don't think NIL had anything to do with it I'm sure a big selling point for him was already having the best two players in the state committed to UT and they probably told him we was the missing piece to them winning a championship. Good thing we won't have to play them twice next year
Can you please identify the two players from State of Texas already committed to UT? I am seeing 2 signings for the 2024 class: Tre and Cam Scott from South Carolina. I am disappointed we aren't playing them after this year, as I have enjoyed our beating them like the over hyped rented mule they have been the past few years.Wacoraisedbear said:

Friends, some of the highest level recruits Drew goes after opt to play elsewhere. If he weren't regularly getting the Walkers, the Georges and others of their talent level, we'd have something to worry about here. We can't have all the best guys, and not even KU and Duke can do that. I don't understand the angst here.
