A move like that kills all sports unless you've gotten all of our donors lined up to agree that they will, in fact, still give the same amount and are 'Ok' with using that money on basketball only. I suspect that the reality is that MANY of our big hitters are here for football first and basketball second. Kill that off and you likely lose them entirely.
The Crown that Fox created gave Nebraska $300k for its NIL, while giving UCF's NIL $100k for making it to the final. I did see that Tulane and Boise State were both in this. I wonder if we got offered a spot here. If so, I'd have to wonder if its not the smarter path. At least the winner of this event gets something we need badly, $$$$.
The NIT Final Four was fun to see mid majors, but it isn't going to translate for eyeballs, as we just saw. I was impressed with the coverage Fox gave this thing--they had their main pre-game guys doing coverage, and then had their #1 CBB team covering the games in Vegas. ESPN treats the NIT like its, well, the NIT...
For 2025 we have 12 recruits (11 high school and 1 JUCO, I believe). We have 26 transfers in and 30 transfers out (although not all have found new schools).
This is what it is now, a revolving door roster although not to the level we saw last year. It will be interesting to see what the recruit (high school/JUCO) to transfer is over time. For 2025 for every 1 recruit, we brought in 2.36 transfers. It seems this is what we've been asking for...to hit the portal hard, but is this ratio too low, too high or just right?
I hope he sticks around, but as I said numerous times throughout the season I would never want to trust him as a number 1 option for our '25 roster, so if the investment has to be between B-Lo and a big time scoring guard, give me the latter.
My point was that despite the offer list 247 rated him this highly giving their honest evaluation. Of the next 30 running backs ranked below him, 26 are committed to power teams including Tennessee A&M Michigan penn state USC. Obviously they see something in him to give him that kind of ranking.
