Glasco leaving

[jaxmc1023]

He built his version of the program with little to none. Why jump now to start from scratch? He was doing extremely well without buying payers. He could have waited and bought players in the SEC or ACC if that opportunity opened and continued to enjoy success in Lafayette.

There are people who prefer Lubbock to Lafayette. Texas to Louisiana. Watching your football team play in front of 50k+ every game, instead of 5k etc

In today's world, the prevailing attitude seems to be "i don't owe my school/team/boss/etc a damn thing -- they don't own me"

I'm speaking more to the players that leave for greener pastures. We always respond with "good luck getting no playing time!" But to many of these people, riding the bench for Alabama is still better than playing in front of empty stadiums against nobody schools at UL

the problem with this limitation is the limitation

the Supreme Court said that an athletes right to make money is a constitutional right

they didn’t say it was kind of a constitutional right

so any limitation on that constitutional right is a violation of the co stitution

it is kind of like being a little bit pregnant

that concept is not available in pregnancy not is it available in NIL

hope that helps many of you understand

I know many will never accept it, however the refusal to accept it will continually limit the potential success of Louisiana athletics

there are no if’s ands or butts about it

The Supreme Court has also in the past limited how money can be made.

Lamson is rarely an empty stadium.

What happens when an NIL deal responsibilities conflicts with class time?
What happens if a beer company wants to give an NIL deal to a player under 21?

They looked to be managing okay without it. At least up until now. Top ranked recruiting classes. More talent coming in. No big contributors leaving. Louisiana has been a destination.

In a few years it may be different but they were weathering the storm pretty darn well if you ask me.

More NIL deals being the driving factor to leave for a losing program seems insane.

I have already posted this, but it bears repeating. Texas Tech has the # 2 recruiting class in the country coming in this fall. They lost only 1 of 8 recruits with the coaching change. Glasco has, at a minimum, $10,000 per player in NIL [with more promised] to throw at recruits and transfers from the portal. He will quickly fill the roster with very good players. Texas and Oklahoma are no longer in the Big XII, giving Tech a window to rise in the conference standings in what will still be the # 2 Softball conference in the country. Within 2 years, Texas Tech will be at or near the top of the Big XII softball standings.

I am in no way defending Glasco's leaving without notifying his players in advance, if that happened, but he did not leave here for a program that will be a loser after he arrives.

Only 'student' athletes.
Checks notes the supreme court itself's pay is limited. ......Scratching my head


“The job is not worth doing for what they pay,” Thomas would say at a speech the next year, and he pressed repeatedly to lift the ban, imposed in 1989, on justices’ accepting honoraria for speeches.
The chief justice is earning $298,500 this year, associate justices $285,400. Federal appeals court judges make $246,600.
Consider that young lawyers fresh off a Supreme Court clerkship can join big law firms and pocket signing bonuses approaching $500,000 — that on top of salaries around $300,000. That doesn’t include year-end bonuses

So the portal doesnt open for last season's texas tech players?

[RaginScotsman]

That's what I mean it's insane for anybody to believe that is why. Nobody would just leave like that strictly because of NIL opportunities.

I get it now. Yes.

Like others have said. More to the story.

Lamson is rarely an empty stadium.

I didnt say it was empty, but our actual attendance numbers were nowhere close to reported attendance this year -- in either diamond sport.

I don't know a single person or family our age that bought season tickets for diamond sports. Everyone who went to games did so because they got tickets from their boss or a family member.

UL's fanbase is shrinking -- even in the sports once thought to be immune from it -- and because of it the pool of money available to keep us competitive is shrinking as well. On the other hand Texas Tech is exploding
