NIL killed college hoops its now professional hoops

sorry Geo its not about selling t shirts or a basketball camp

Coleman Hawkins is making $2 million at Kansas State to mail it in and underperform for a 7-7 Kansas State team that is going nowhere and will finish near the bottom of the Big 12 standings. Normally he would have made peanuts in the G League. Now marginal NBA players are duping college programs to pay them huge amounts

Great Osobor is making $2 million at Washington to average 9.8 points for a 10-6 team that is on everyones list to miss the Big 10 tournament

Jonnel Davis is making over $1 million at Arkansas to average under 10 ppg half of the previous year for a Arkansas team that will likely straddle the bubble under Calipari

Someone not Rutgers is paying Dylan/Ace $1.8/.1.6 million to play at 8-8 Rutgers and likely miss the Big 10 tournament

AJ Dybantsa will make $4 million to attend BYU next year

not basketball but https://www.wfla.com/news/florida/6...l-players-sue-coach-over-failed-nil-payments/

And we all just play pretend and say ooh this was happening before, now its just out in the open..haha yeah right
Are those guys worth the money? You can’t deny someone their worth. Unless you live in Russia.

I think he has one more season and the program won’t be able to tolerate the enormous drop in interest that I expect. They will agree to a buyout. Your opinion is different than mine. He has had a few very good seasons here but the parameters have changed drastically, which now emphasize his weaknesses. Most high school coaches in the country could do what he has done the past year.

It took a while at first for people to to realize what an absolute failure of a coach Jordan was, but once everyone did, it picked up momentum quickly. Granted, Jordan never had success here as a coach, but he made up for that by being a hero as a player here and a former NBA coach.
The fact that you think an average high school coach could do better and compared Pike to EJ, is enough for me. That’s absolute nonsense. We’ll never see things remotely similar.

OT: Fascinating treatment for PTSD and addiction

Another thing to worry about is the MASSIVE placebo effect in this space (including PTSD). If you truly believe a drug will make you feel better (based on 3rd party advice or theories), you very well may feel better due to your mind and not the drug itself. This is why rigorous clinical trials are critical for things like mental health or pain being another example. The placebo effect is powerful, but normally temporary.
What does that have to do with whether you pursue ‘experimental treatment’ in Europe as compared to Mexico?

I’d like him to answer the question. I have suspicions as to what his issue is with Mexican hospitals and doctors compared to Europeans but I’d be curious if he’s bold enough to say it out loud. No reason to beat around the bush

Blue Ribbon CBB Preview Extremely Low On RU This Season

Exactly. It's about forcing the defense to cover the whole floor and not let JMike or JWill sit in the corner and send extra guys at Dylan/Ace.

For the defense: JWill/JMike shooting from the perimeter is likely infinitely better than anything Ace/Dylan will do.

Martini and/or Hayes (Acuff too?) close that gap and make the defense pay just a little attention to the off-ball players.

Defense is going to be jumping for joy if JWill is making the first move/iso drive on offense.
Relegate Ace/Dylan to off-ball and standing around watching JWill dribble? Sign me up if I'm the defense.

I'll take another victory lap.
Been saying it since March that JWill and Davis were terrible fits next to Dylan and Ace.

Do you want Jalen Miller, Antonio Chol, Jaden Jones and Woolf back too?
Chol would’ve been better than martini and would have known the system. Wolf we could’ve used with the extra scholarship spot- again, he knew the system. Miller wasn’t far off from J Mike and if he stayed maybe he’d be a more experienced version. Jaden jones could’ve developed with four years but his camp clearly had no idea what they were doing

Rage research

I think the notion that Rutgers is an undesirable job is outdated too, especially after revenue sharing. Elite home-court, advantage, $$ to spend, low expectations, I think a lot of coaches would jump at that
I didn’t say it was an undesirable job. Finding a proven quality coach (like Pike has already proven) is not easy. Many blue bloods fail at hiring coaches all the time and quality coaches have bad years. Pike’s buy out and proven abilities give him at least 2 years to get Rutgers back on track. BTW - last nights loss was a complete coaching failure and probably the most disappointing loss of the season in my opinion. Im not blindly following Pike but he will get a chance to fix this.

No reason to promote anything with the risks that ibogaine has, and yes also pointing out the incredible irony in some of the posters who are able to overlook the heart issues here bc Rogan endorsed it but won’t get the shot for the same reason… these people are fools

I noticed that too.
I don’t think I’ve seen a bigger example on this board of flagrant hypocrisy that this subject… and that really is saying something
