Did you ever watch him last year? He was really bad. He set the bar pretty low for improvement.

Sigh... The excuse train is strong. Not gonna go out and search for a completely unrelated scenario because you want to go off on a tangent with excuses. President has minimal to no effect here. AD has a little more but he's not out recruiting. This falls on the coach and coaching staff.

Nice work, Cold! My numbers come from the horses mouth. That said, UNO is trying, but they're UNO. I'm thinking about attending a few UNO hockey games. UNO's NIL comes mainly by individual donors, not a lot of blood in that turnip. A local beer dist. created a beer for UNO, haven't seen it on the shelves or tasted it. If the Shocks don't have a beer, maybe they need one. You could come up with a wheat beer with some play on the Shocker name. Here's a link regarding the UNO beer, it's interesting.

MVJ, how do you "feel" about that? I'm just curious to know from someone that is as connected as you are but with a history of a pragmatic view of athletics. I value your opinion.
That's a big number. Just as a quick comparison, OU football was in the 75-100k for non star interior linemen (not that the comparison matters). If I crunch a little, and assume "big" donors pick up half the bill, you need 2000 donors at $50/month to pick up the other half. Every month. 4000 at $25. That's awfully good support (CU certainly has been good for a long time and support there is strong and they have a wealthy fan base) for people likely to also be picking up the athletic department bill (SASO).
If BJ backups are getting $150k per, then high-major/BCS/Power conference teams are paying their bball backups $500k and $1M for stars. Figuring 3 "stars" per team, that would be an $8M NIL bball budget lol. And we haven't even started with football. Even more amusing would be imagining BJ having a $1.95M NIL bball budget (that's before paying any other players/sports). In their Fox Sports 1 dreams.
