What team is guaranteed to go up by 10 points today?




Fanduel promo has me thinking Kansas is easy money

I wouldn't mind the soccer (futbol) model where compensation would be given. Example player a is leaving for michigan for 5 mill, there is also a fee of like 25% to that school you are taking the player from and that the school has to spend it on NIL. So you're a small school your nil budget is like 500k, your star player you developed is gone but suddenly now you have a extra 1.25 to also get some quality players.

This would be a great idea actually.

The mid majors are not plucking elite talent out of high school (usually) but instead developing 0/1/2...maybe 3 star guys. A transfer fee, anywhere from 25% to maybe even 50% goes to the original school, on top of the NIL cost for the player.

The big dog schools would have to be more judicious about who they pursue.

You think fred van vleet, ron baker would have stayed 4 years at wichita ? Steph 3 years at davidson, mccollum 4 years at lehigh? If you're good at a mid major a p4 school throws big money at you and poof.

michigan paid lendeborg like 5 mill , a few years ago he'd still be on a UAB and they'd prob be a cinderella at the tourney

I too, blame michigan for ruining everything they come in contact with

Lucas should’ve been COY fr with the turnaround Miami had

Syracuse basketball really in the dirt when they don't have the NIL resources to compete with Providence. Fran Brown taking all the money??

Miami wasted about 5 possessions in a row trying to force feed #5 when they should have stuck to what was working

Hodgson is from New York and Syracuse was a dream job so they’re down real bad.
