2024 Edition-Bilas “Let them transfer at Halftime to the opposing team” Portal Update

Yeah some interesting speculation. I wish we knew what we could count as factual.

Yeah same. Either way though, $1mil isn’t enough to be competitive. That’s only enough to get us through the door.

Stick and Cold going at it is hilarious!

Meh...it depends. We will see. I am still not sure about that since we truly don't know what the majority of players are getting at other schools.

Yes the very elite players will get a ton. Which we dont get those kind of players before NIL anyway. And likely wouldnt get now regardless.

I doubt 1700 portal players are getting huge bags thrown at them. Maybe the top 10-15.

Like Saal and Mills has mentioned before. I think, for WSU, NIL will be more about retention. So we don't get our best players plucked every year.

The all-knowing Stick is getting eaten alive. Humble pie does a body good.

Did he throw a hissy fit because he is a libertarian who doesn’t blindly throw his money at everybody’s favorite fund?

He and his wife have funded millions of dollars to different important projects at Wichita and WSU. Why don’t you take a google search to educate yourself before you vomit idiocy. He is a libertarian who expects groups to prove themselves, and the fact that they are worthy of his money. You just expect him to do what You want him to do and give you money because of you.

I don’t expect anything from him, he is a grown ass man who is entitled to do what he wants with his own money, that doesn’t make him immune to criticism though, just because he gives the university millions in donations we have to blindly follow his will? Sounds like you’re the type to compromise integrity and morality in order to reach financial goals. I’m just not the type to kiss someone’s ass because the amount of wealth they have, but seems like you are, and that’s perfectly fine.

I don’t expect anything from him, he is a grown ass man who is entitled to do what he wants with his own money.

I totally agree that it is his CK’s money (not yours or anyone else’s), and he has the right to spend it any way he wants to.

That doesn’t make him immune to criticism though. Sounds like you’re the type to compromise integrity and morality in order to reach financial goals. I’m just not the type to kiss someone’s ass because the amount of wealth they have, but seems like you are, and that’s perfectly fine.

Why are you criticizing him? Because he doesn’t fund the current NIL athlete structure, and/or Because he may not be sold on our current basketball program, Athletic Director, or coach so he doesn’t spend his money on it? Who knows what his exact reasoning is. All we know is that he used to support our basketball program (and he referred to GM as a winner and provided him extra resources such as his personal/business airplane) Now he doesn’t provide these resources.

I haven’t compromised anything and I haven’t kissed anyone’s ass. This proves that you believe that if you disagree with how Charles Koch spends his money, you will still stoop to slandering him and anyone who believes that it is his freedom and his right to spend the money he’s earned any way he chooses. You obviously don’t really believe that CK is entitled to do what he wants with his own money, and You wii criticize him if he doesn’t choose to follow your wishes.

Maybe they should just have a player auction. Highest bider on each player gets him. Sure would speed up things.

1760. That's like 176 teams that could form of 10 players each.

There's only about 350 teams in all of D1. So half the teams lost 10 players? And there's juco players to consider. And high school players. I can see why a lot of coaches are getting out of the biz.

Or every team lost 5 players. That’s insane.
