Some posters can’t grasp that there are multiple things in play. Winning the CWS last year actually hurt us for this season, add in talent evaluation, injuries, and lack of some development for certain players and boom… here we are.
Perfect storm of terribleness. We’ve seen it the opposite way in both baseball and football.

There is probably a $500k difference between what we'll get in revenue share in 2025 vs 2026. 500k is the difference between getting Landon Mack and getting Dax Dathe.
We've lost a ton of 1 an 2 run ball games. I think we're like 1-8 in close games in conference play, and there are a couple of others that have been blown open in the later innings.
Having 6 more innings a weekend from a good pitcher is the difference between 6-15 and missing the tournament and 13-8 and vying for a national seed.
Is this team a title winning team with one more pitcher? Probably not. But they wouldn't be in this spot.
To be clear: it's not the only reason, but it played a part. And the people who think because we lose more games so we should get less money, as opposed to when we won more games with more money, are stupid. Not you, but people on this board.

The rev share argument is a red herring for total support for the program.
Hopefully you can see that. I think you're a good baseball poster and appreciate it.

In general, I don't think it was a massive problem, but I do think it negatively impacted our roster building this past offseason. I think the schedule hurt more, but I think having $500k more would have allowed you to get Mack.
I know i'm being very specific here re: Mack, and that's only because I think this specific player would have put us in an entirely different spot this season.

If not, I'd be disappointed in myself. I'd just like more conversations on here to go like this than the constant sky screaming and hyperbolic nonsense that we usually see.

To your point about Mack, you're definitely in the know more than me. If $500k rev share makes a difference, I'm not against it. But isn't rev share distributed equally amongst players?

I don't believe it is.
I think that's why our football staffers have met with pro teams to discuss how they allocate money within the salary cap to get an idea on how to prioritize.

I had much better inside info under the previous athletic administration, but I would imagine it is still the same.
LSU releases the amount that each sport gets, but hides how much each player gets. They do that for a number of reasons (don't want in-fighting in the locker room, don't want agents leveraging $$, etc.).
There's actually a lawsuit right now from a few BR journos who hate sports and want to show how much each player is paid specifically. They're doing it under the guise of "public funding allocation" stating that citizens of LA have the right to know, but they're just stirring up shite because they're miserable people and want you and I to hate the starting quarterback because he's making $3 million or whatever.

Jay is gonna fricking wipe their hope out of being the 1 seed at the conference tournament

He never “threatened”. He was asked about that tool from Tenn and speaking in hypotheticals.
There were so many other points but for some reason dumbasses like you think they have a “troll game”. What they have is just another way to prove they are stupid.

When did this happen it was referenced and I thought a likely scenario after last season but only when every record was his, but he doesn’t have them yet.
Is he hinting now, and if he is straight up threatening or hinting then I’m shocked.
Anyone have a link? Or tell me what interview to listen to

It was asked about in the press conference leading up to the Tennessee series. He didn’t just bring it up.

I do NOT want CJJ to leave. I think he's made some mistakes this year but I also think he is motivated to the max to learn and not repeat a single one.

I'm going to have to look this one up. I know $NIL isn't released, and NIL in its current state isn't what it was intended to be - regardless of rhetoric saying it's not "pay to play".
However, I was under the belief that the revenue sharing (first year of this) distribution allowed Universities to decide the sport distribution, but all players of that allocation get equal parts - much different than NIL.

Lol CJJ isn't even in Coach Tony Vitello's galaxy. I'm legit upset you would even think to post this.

Lot's of folk would be interested, it's the best job in college baseball. But with it of course, comes the most pressure. Not everyone is made for it?
