Marcus comments are not helpful and not accurate. He needs to move on down the road and he clearly "has an issue" with how things ended and with his latest comment and continues to want to get the last word. He is incorrect in regards to players who come from overseas as they are not allowed to be in the NIL pool regardless of what school they attend thus UE is smart to recruit as many players like Josh Hughes as possible. UE will never win on any NIL fronts nor do we want to play in that space.

UE will never win on any NIL fronts nor do we want to play in that space. Foreign players can get money, just not on a student visa, which was the visa almost all got prior to NIL. If they’re willing to go through the process to get a different visa, they can make money. I disagree on winning on NIL and wanting to compete in that space. We’ll never win against P5, but there’s no reason we shouldn’t be able to compete with the ISUs of the world, and if they’re giving out car leases to retain the Swopes and Avilas of the world, we need to whatever we can to retain our good players. We don’t need to recruit with NIL at the forefront of a recruitment, but when we get talented players, we need to be competitive enough in that space to retain them when they start getting other offers. Hopefully we have boosters ready to make that happen. I guess we’ll find out in March.

Sure, we probably have boosters that can give to the "collective," but at what price? Do I donate $ for a new wellness center or to the collective.

Marcus has products that he's trying to sell. And now he's trying to inflate the market on those types of products.

Nobody buys a ticket to see a student learn how to be a phlebotomist, so arrange your finances accordingly. Life is all about basketball and the lessons it teaches you. Ask any coach. Any other rationalization comes with conditions. All I have to say about it after that is, if you are on X-Twitter, get off it. It's mindless drivel harvesting ignorant replies.

Um, yeah ... my first thought on this has been reduced to a single word. SAD. Sad is right. I'll give you credit for being the loudest voice about what is to come from the NIL/portal era. Enjoy this season. It may be the last one to celebrate unless you are Marcus Wilson. Wilson could have stressed the importance of fan donations from small schools to compete in the NIL world. He could have done so without advertising to all of his followers across the country without mentioning/recommending specific Aces players for plucking. Wilson is angry and Wilson is afraid. He is angry that his rafter jersey didn't anoint him with more capital and he is afraid that Ragland will succeed without him. All pretense of loyalty to the program and the fans was lost when he announced that he would not be attending the 1999-2000 team reunion at the Ford Center. He is petty and vindictive. He doesn't want to stand beside the players who rebounded, set screens and passed him the ball. Because after all, Wilson won that championship all by himself. And I'm an astronaut.

I did learn about the Crusades on X-Twitter. I needed a second opinion and I got it.

When I saw your name pop up I thought you had something worth reading about NILs. I should have known better.

Rex, you could avoid pissing everyone off by not going all Karen on comments that either don't concern you or don't matter. For the PAPs at home who weary of this, recall where the anger started. Just ... focus ... on that name. Up to that point, we were discussing NIL.
As soon as you convince us that the intellect of the world is defined by Twitter comments, I will take you seriously.
Or as Fyodor said:
A man with two cats has half as many mice to contend with.
By the way, Rex, my identity isn't a secret. If you want it, I used to be in the phone book. Now I'm on Twitter.

Just admit you made an incredibly stupid comment and go to bed. You aren’t convincing anyone here that you are funny or smart.
