Epic rant. Loved it.

So I looked it up, and the rule on professional athletes playing college basketball, went into effect August 1, 2010.

I thought it was 5 to 10 years ago, but it was 16 years ago. Just wanted to clarify what I said earlier.

Alt, I get what your distinctions are on the G league players….but even the examples you cite wouldn’t have been allowed 5-10 years ago. They would’ve been declared ineligible, and everything is changing faster than we can blink.

I want to have pity but I don’t. We knew exactly what was gonna happen if NIL was allowed. This was all foreseen and predicted.

What we need are adults to step in and balance the right of kids to be rewarded for their likeness making billions for schools all while ending the chaos.

I still don’t understand why transfers can’t be tied to academic performance. Sign with a team? You’re locked in until you hit your upper class (generally your third year but could be before). You’re locked in again until you graduate and then can move one last time.

Collect whatever you want in NIL but it has to be disclosed with a cap that encompasses *all* compensation to every athlete. Fair to everyone.

This is supposed to be *college* athletics.

Ha, never mind, you explained your post on the next page. *balefire*

Ugeauxchukwu?

CWW said he brought in (partially) Coach Jay Smith as player development because he has a track record of developing and improving bigs. I think we need to consider the fact that some of these players are coming for money, but some of them also want to get some development to showcase their talents for NBA scouts who can easily see them play in arenas all over the south.

Anybody else have knowledge of Coach Jay Smith's track record?

Sup, Drizz. All I gotta say is "we comin'"

Might be said in eight different languages next season, but that's even better. Today's game is international!

How do you say "Boot Up" in Taushiro?

Holy cow that video got me juiced. This kid can ball.

"I'm not retiring, I plan on to hire two coaches quickly, I plan to get in the portal and get two or three more players...there is no retiring. I think it's used a lot in recruiting."

Sounds definitive to me.

Do people really join an LSU message board and start topics without knowing ANYTHING about the subject? #baffled #worsttakes

I was at that Arky game. The excitement in the PMAC was palpable. People were all high fiving each other saying, "maybe we can keep the winning going."

Good times.

I really can't think of another highlight off the top of my head. That's sad.
