Even the big boys have turmoil with boosters

The thing is, you could see this coming, and I wonder if the NIL money would have magically appeared if Wade or Crean would have been the choice?
I don’t say this to stir anything up about hiring Josh, I’m actually curious to see if he can implement his ideas and system here. Because if he does we will be just fine in basketball.
Boosters running the show by pulling the purse strings, get use to it! Lol
College sport has zero to do with academics anymore, and if they want the money, they will have to play by the rules which are now set by the boosters and not the NCAA! Now on it will be instant gratification or the boosters will pull their funding. Slow growth means zero NIL dollars donated!
Guys like Kevin Kruger will not be able to survive in this environment. You have to have a “relatable” plan upfront as a coach to even convince the NIL collectives to even give you a chance to coach and that chance is the money needed to operate!
Academics? lol. “Hey siri”.
When is the last time you saw an academic ineligibility. Remember having to sweat out some summers? Winter break? It’s not a thing anymore.
None of them are worth the prices they are getting paid. When a college student can make enough money to retire before he is out of school, he is way over paid, but currently there are enough deep pocketed alumni and no rules, so people are getting filthy rich while students who pay there own way through school are getting stuck with part of the cost of making them rich! I hope the court system gets involved quickly!
Me to Melvin Love:
“Hey Mel, how did you do on the test (finals)”
Mel: “I got an A”
Me: “how do you know grades haven’t been posted”
Mel: “because I had the god damn answers”
I had Greg Anthony in Economics and I would see him relatively often in class. I had Hudson and Gilliam in a Geography class and literally saw them both twice the entire semester. First day and finals.
Greg Anthony was one of those rare athletes who was also a very good student! His parents would have kicked his ass if he didn't also do well in his education
I hate automatic spell check for iPhone..
Wish I did major in Geology. It’s a hot field to be in
Just like the PGA Golf Management Program at UNLV, they should have a STRIP CLUB MANAGEMENT PROGRAM! It could pay for itself in tips! The athletes that are on each schools strip club teams could move around to other schools based on the better tippers! Making school fun again one stripper at a time!
