They absolutely need to split the haves and have knots into different conferences. There is no way getting around this anymore. NONE! Unless u expand eligibility. 20 million? That is 150 k for every football player and BB player. Any kid will go to P4 over going to non P4 98 times out of 100. IF u adjust to starters to bench that increases to 300k ish and thats at 20 mil. increase that 50% when it goes to 30 mil Not including the NIL the good players get. Good % will be millionaires with 4 years at a P4 or close to it. Can not compete.
My math might be off ,but not the logic.

I was thinking the same. It seems to me that two wins would be like a G5 final four. And it will get worse as revenue sharing ( on top of NIL ) kicks in. This years $ 20 mil is the cap but it will increase by 4% a year till it hits $ 30 mil. All P4's will pay out the max. Very few G5 's will be able to do it. The rich will just get nearly all the players and the few that squeak through to the G5's accidentally will just transfer once they are identified.

I’ve come to the realization that the G’s can’t compete with the P’s anymore.

FIU vs SDSU in the FF was a fluke. Now both teams are depleted and the entire S16 is P’s.

That’s why I’d view a run to a S16 the same as a FF. The odds are really stacked against us (us meaning all G’s).

No underdogs this year in the SWEET 16 when was the last time u had that?? Unless u want to count 10# Arkansas as one. ALL 6 seeds or lower. ALL from P4 conferences.

OMG!!

Ya’ll annoying as ****..

Whining & bitching because we didn’t hire Phil Jackson & or Pat Riley as our head coach..

Our program once very illustrious is now a very very very mediocre bottom feeder in a shitty conference..

Who the **** knows how Olen & the dude who went to USF will turn out.. could be good.. could be bad..

But ya’ll are acting like Hodgson is this slam dunk can’t miss coaching prospect when he has only been a HC for 2 years & yes he did very well at Ark State.. but ya’ll acting like he is the next Pinto…

Let’s give Josh an opportunity to coach a game here before saying he sucks & doesn't deserve it..

I am optimistic that things will be really good with him..

P.S. since ya’ll think that Hodgson is can’t miss.. & ya’ll are all knowing..

Let us know when the next Megabucks is going to hit & where so we can play it..

CRhodes
Well i bought LOTO tickets again. If i hit i will help one way or the other. LOL. IT really hard to be optimistic with the NIL culture anymore. Im sure he has a ton of connections still and by the sound of it seems people that KNOW are on board with it. Back loaded contract so he is HEAVILY invested into winning loved/liked his interview he did right before he was hired.

Josh Pastner Analysis

I want Bear back. He can score in the post, which is a skill that is hard to come by and is making a comeback in college basketball.
Pastner has struggled developing bigs, but any sort of offense that can so SOMETHING to set him up, use his big body for screens, etc. I will take.
We couldn't get along for just one day, could we :D.

I just don't think Bear has all that nasty in him. He does not like it when players get physical with him. He has a very limited post move set and rushes to get to his shot points. He has nice touch on the hook, but too often it's hurried. With his frame and athleticism just giving him a solid dropstep where he attacked the cup, or an up and under--the most basic post moves--he'd be a much better offensive option. But those moves require you getting physical, initiating contact, getting smacked. I don't think he likes that. If he could develop a little elbow jumpshot he could play finesse on offense better.

There's tools there, for sure. I have just seen him loaf so many times getting to his spot on the glass, or reaching for a loose ball, and I don't think he has a mean streak in him. I think that's why I'm more frustrated with him than you are.
