Anyone recall the Big East squad that BEAT CT early season by 15 pts?

The NIL money these players receive should be a public accounting. No idea why I believe this, other than -- if gamblers are involved, the NCAA has some problems even more serious than their inability to comprehend how pointless they became.
I saw at least 2 nationally known ads featuring Caitlin Clark, which is part of her large NIL package, so at least we tend to grasp it. What does a Gatorade commercial pay somebody? Chuck Bailey got a bit of a bump with the McClintock commercial and we know Robby Goggles got a car in Terre Hoot.
What does a bench player have to do to 'earn' $100,000 in NIL money? Is that a lot to be on a local Bobe Pizza commercial? I thought/believed NIL money was somebody paying to use a player's persona as a marketing tool. (Hi, I'm Cam Haffner and take it from me, Chipotle's on Main is the best!)
Or are they just paying the players? If you are a rich tycoon who has no reason to advertise and are just sending a check to a kid through his agency, that's not NIL. That's not even a donation.

Exhibit "A" - UE & McCarty... Has Woodson @ IU abandoned his suit/vest combo yet? With 1 yr. left, he needs to restock his closet before the cord's cut.
"Rich Tycoon?" LOL Recall the Carnegie, Mellon, Vanderbilt & Rockefeller Era?
4/9 "Hoop Dirt"...SLU staff.

Looks like Schertz has filled out his SLU staff and it does not include Graves. I’m guessing ISUs going to hire Graves now

Conwell has now bounced. That is three of five starters, and 4 of the six main players for ISU so far. Not sure how much longer “Cream” and Swope will stick around for though.

Wouldn't be sweet if Rags could convince Cream and Swope to come to UE

Probably takes some time to process the players into the portal, as Swope is now in it and Cream is just a few keystrokes away. There was a Swat Pest commercial that aired during the UConn/Purdue broadcast last night with Swope as the spokesperson. Not sure if it was made during his USI days.
Tours of the Gateway Arch now being scheduled for the "team."

Swope has no actual "value" if he's going to get his knee repaired. Either way, he's not a player who P4 programs actually need. He'd be a perfect fit at one of the NAIA schools.
Avila would be wise to do what Cam Krutwig did at Loyola ... stay where you are and enjoy the moment as a local hero.
Conwell ought to go someplace where he gets to actually play. The guy was a beast this year. Kent ... meh, announcers kept propping up some kind of "stats" on his ability to get open for a pass. Kent vs. B-Hum ... 50-50. Larry probably believes he belongs in the Big 12.
Tee-Town Tech was an ideal mix of players that comes along once in a while. Valpo had such a team in 2015-2016.

It’s too early to be wobbly.

I'll cut him some slack, as he likely working on that Gene Bartow bio...might also be talking to UK's Mitch Barnhart on behalf of an ol' neighbor of his, SCOTT DREW:

Is Matt Jones related to Jerry?
Here's another story comparing Schertz w/ Majerus. If I was JS, I'd be cutting some lbs!

Too funny. When Calipari was at Memphis, the games between UA and Memphis were often heated. An intense rivalry was generated, in his brief stop there. He was hated in Fayetteville. Guess feral hogs have short memories?
