Let's Build a Final Four team through The Portal

....The RCAF is under the UL Foundation, it's not a separate entity to funnel payments to recruits.

It's funny. Everything that Doc A did while here, and everything Doc S has done while here in regards to athletics was to, above all else, make sure we don't pay players. Now, that very thing is the accepted norm.

So, we are sitting here with a funding model, UL controlled RCAF, that is as outdated as the horse and buggy.

How about we join the present day?

Free the RCAF!

I never said "We can't do that here", just reminding of those things that the NCAA selectively enforces against smaller programs. You know..... the rules. The RCAF is under the UL Foundation, it's not a separate entity to funnel payments to recruits.

That's true. But that's why collectives are popping up. So that they can organize outside of the rules and have the funds on hand before recruits sign LOI.

One problem. We don't have the money.

Neither did the Oakland Athletics.

Neither did the Oakland Athletics.

Fact.

The Zags aren’t going away anytime soon. People have been saying that for ages. The McCarthy Center holds double what our average attendance is and is sold out all the time. In fact we should build a damn replica of it where Blackham sits. Call it the Kendal Regis Center and name the court after Beryl Shipley.

It’s coming, Mark Few is nearing retirement.

Your right, we couldn’t fill the McCarthey Center with our average attendance…in 35 of the last 37 years since we moved to the dome (85-86 and 93-94). 29 years and counting.

Unless you "aim" for building a final four program, you will always end up with something far less.

Man, if Martin Hall would have just followed the Alden Report and had an independent RCAF, we MIGHT have been ahead of the curve.
