Transfer Portal Discussion (outgoing player tracking)

[Shockm]

Get rid of Muma too. WSU will become a commuter school again, if the National attention that was gained from being a top basketball program goes away. No National attention, lower enrollment, fewer business connections, less money, SCK economy sinks into the abyss.

Why stop at Canada. One assistant for Canada, one for Australia/New Zealand, one for Europe and someone else with connections in Africa. We can hit the American kids on the portal as their one free transfer and just go mostly international.

Yea .. but how will they recruit? I'm sure their budget will be a kayak they have to share to get to those countries.

Snowshoes and a dogsled for Canada.

Snowshoes and a dogsled for Canada.

Yes .. and have to hope that the Humane Society has some good dogs when you go on the recruiting trip.

Have any of you who have donated to the coach's club, or champion's club or anything else to directly support basketball over the past 10 years heard from the athletic department about stepping up to help with NIL stuff? I can tell you how much I've heard. I'm baffled.

Recruiting those countries is more to do with connections and video, not actual travel.

Tis a joke :)

Fair enough. It crossed my mind but figured better address it just in case. Had I paid attention to who I was actually responding to I may have just known

So...what do we have to look forward to now? Go Softball?!

We are a softball school for sure.

This is our chance to really get behind bowling.

These are even more telling:

The amount of drain on the university from subsidies is really telling in the non revenue sports.

[shoxlax]

All third- party revenue is ZERO

paying a huge amount to severance (seems beyond just HCGM)

Exactly, where is the rest of the severance going? Or is it one lump sum for Marshall all rolled into one year's books?

No. But to be honest I wouldn't contribute to this dumpster fire anyway. Maybe IB can turn things around, but barely finishing above .500 last year is not giving me any confidence.

The fact that it is $0 for FY 2020 tells me it's likely a lump sum for Marshall.

EDIT: Also, look at line item 8 (contributions from individuals) in 2019 vs 2021. There's a $6M difference. Holy smokes.
