If you keep kicking players on side they will be.

Got it, guess I’ll move on from UM bball, they’re done.
LOL

Who have they kicked to the curb, UM expert?

[Martymcfly2017]

You wanted a answer and i gave it to you. No but i called a lot things spot on. Relax its not a big deal. But kicking players to the curve is pretty sad, and i couldn’t trust that person. I just told you yesterday with Donaldson. Was it spot on?

[frm710]

Oh I’m relaxed and not upset at all, just seemed a pretty harsh take. From what I know Donaldson is the only one he recruited over. Has a strong class coming as well.

Nudging players out has been around long before NIL happened.

And i dont agree with it at all. Im sure you had a easy life, but for me not so much.

Yea, some ways yes, others not so much.

But that part is not going away. Not paying workers who make your company millions and millions of dollars just won’t fly.

But you can mitigate the impact by restricting transfers. You can’t have teams recruiting players from other teams, or agents going to other teams to find out who is willing to pay their clients the most. It’s fine to try to get the most money from the school you’ve already committed to, and if you need leverage in those negotiations, they can do what the pros do and sit out. Or they can still transfer, but make them sit out for a year like they used to.

Let kids transfer however they want to transfer. The healthiest programs will retain players at the highest rate. Programs who say whatever they can to get the kid to sign…or have the coach “transfer”…will have issues.

The healthiest programs will retain players at the highest rate.

I don’t think so. Not when money and agents and money get involved. Stable programs are losing guys to aggressive ones. Excellent programs in the ACC and Big 12 are losing players simply due to conference affiliation. Entirely healthy programs have been forced to change lest they be left behind by the new normal, like Clemson. And what of the mid major? It doesn’t matter how healthy their program, they will never be able to keep any player they develop. This is keenly felt in basketball, there will be no more San Diego States, no more Butlers. And many are fine with that. I am not. But I am just a nobody they don’t care about anyway.

Maybe if you said “the healthiest programs in the richest conferences” I would come closer to agreeing, but that caveat is part of the problem.
