The Death of College Basketball

[ShockingButTrue]

Basically, enticement is no longer an issue with the NCAA.

What next, defund the police? Oh, wait...

Read the comments… Lutz’ in particular.

As crazy as it sounds, Bob is right. Mike is playing very defensive, which makes sense when on the university payroll.

Had no idea some states allow NIL for HS athletes. Imagine what LeBron woulda made if NIL for HS athletes was a thing back in his day. Crazy to think what the next LBJ will make.

[Wichita Willy]

Wichita State, the non-NIL team that let's players make a name for themselves so they can finish their career somewhere else and play in the big dance. Welcome to the basement of the AAC.

HIgh Schools are next. Parents will be more than willing to sign for their kids.

That's been going on for several years. How do you think DeAngelo and Maurice ended up at Collegiate?

[WuTheOne]

Simple solution: NIL is not available to transfers. Schools would just cheat, because the NCAA is only likely to enforce rules against nom-P5 schools.

[AZ Shocker]

If you pays kids a good amount of money to come to your basketball team...will they really even "try" anymore?????

When is Mike not defensive? Nothing more than PR man.

That has been going on, but when a HS player gets paid to endorse Planet Fitness in Maize in exchange for playing for the Eagles is the type of thing I’m talking about.

Let's just hope it doesn't happen anymore that it is currently.

Ya, I hate to say it but Mike is just trying to deflect here. It is painfully obvious to almost everyone that WSU was way behind the curve. A ton of schools saw this coming years ago and began planning for the exact scenario that is playing out. It certainly doesn't help that they p!ssed off and alienated a lot of the big donors with the handling of the Marshall situation on top of everything else. Mike also lambasted one of the people who commented for not knowing specific facts but it is kind of hard to know anything when there is zero communication from the AD or the school on what is being done.

Yeah, he's wrong and he's being petty

[MikeKennedyRulZ]

The school just needs to be transparent. When you are silent and are working back door secret deals that come to light through the newspaper, people do not trust you. When you fu** up come out and own it.

I find MK to be a rather cantankerous unlikable character these days. If you were a martian and just landed here what would be your perception?
