Marshall was one of top teams in league just a year ago. They lost two top players from that team to portal. That included an all conference guard and a center who was freshman of year. No wonder they slipped some this season.Quote:

There is no NIL funds to pull from. It's hard to compete with schools like Mcneese with their larger NIL pool.Quote:

That has to be the model moving forward to be competitive every year.
How many universities with consistently competitive basketball teams have the coach funding the NIL?
Dave retweeted an announcement from a top MBB prospect in North Carolina announcing his top 7 schools. Most were SEC teams. No UNC or Duke.Quote:

In the previous era, maybe coaches were worth $800k because they had all of the control. No players transferring out, players not being paid. They could recruit and develop players without yearly turnover. If I were a young up-and-coming MBB coach, I'd make that pitch to get a head job. Pay me x, and let's put y in an NIL pool.
If RCAF was independent, no brainer. But, alas, it’s about control.Quote:

It’s not, so this would cause one to divert their donations away from RCAF to the collective or some other source not collected to the university for use as NIL to the players.Quote:

I don't know, I'm not advocating a change in coach. Just a change in the model in how we pay coaches in this era.Quote:

Couple more hires of note: UTSA hires Nicholls head coach Austin Claunch. James Madison hiring Preston Spradlin head coach at Morehead St. where he made a couple of NCAA tourneys.
Rumor mill was Spradlin was gonna go to WKU. For those longing for the good ‘ol days, WKU basketball ain’t what it used to be. 30 yrs ago it was arguably the best Sun Belt basketball program (history, support) league had.
What is more important, winning or butts in seats?
What would happen if a team had a better record with lower attendance?
How about ncaa pool all the salary money and pay per winQuote:
