This is what AAU state championships used to look like in North Carolina before the shoe circuits.

#AAU up

Good for RJ Barrett, man. Biggest moment of his career and he gets to do it at home

Full circle moment. Grateful to return to a place that shaped me, this time with the opportunity to lead. Honored to take the reins of Hargrave Military Academy Prep Basketball. The relentless work starts now!

As far as direct payments to players, Duke is not the top spender in CBB. But they do have situations like this to give players more exposure & NIL opportunities to make more money. Thank their GM Rachel Baker for the forward thinking.

Thought it was due to public outcry but it’s actually due AI demand moving faster than physical infrastructure can scale Municipal pushback is part of the reason but mostly it’s due to developers over promising deadlines and grid logistic nightmares sightlineclimate.com/research/data-…

the impact has been LOUD for Jarrett Allen this 2nd half

A few weeks ago, a P4 basketball program posted a video of one of its athletes on camera asking everyday fans to donate to the team's NIL fund. The backlash was immediate..and understandable. These athletes are making significant, publicly reported money. Many of them earn more than the average fan being asked to open their wallet. Asking a family that budgets for season tickets and merchandise to also fund player payrolls is a tough look, and it only gets tougher when the team isn't winning. To be clear, athletes should absolutely be compensated. That ship has sailed and it sailed in the right direction...The question is where the money comes from and how programs position themselves to generate it sustainably. Passing the hat to your fanbase for out of pocket donations is not a revenue strategy, it is a stopgap, and it puts athletes in an uncomfortable position they shouldn't be in. Schools need to think more creatively than this. Build commercial infrastructure around the brand. Pursue private capital. Develop new revenue streams through sponsorships, licensing, and media rights that don't exist yet. Formalize the alumni B2B network and connect sponsors to real commercial distribution instead of just logo placement. Rethink procurement so vendors winning university spend become full ecosystem partners across sponsorship, NIL, fan programs, and alumni business channels. Treat the athletic department like the business it has become, because the old way of leaning on donors and ticket buyers to absorb every new cost isn't going to hold. The programs that keep asking fans to crowdfund roster payrolls are going to lose trust long before they even lose games.

Harrison Barnes started the trend of UNC alumni not turning into stars in the league

And the NCAA is telling Congress and all of us that player compensation is “unsustainable.” Please.

side note , ESPN recruiting never recovered after the legend Dave Telep left

“I’m attracted to the dark side of greatness. The gap between a hero and a villain is very similar to the gap between winning and losing and good to great. The gap is so much closer than people think. It’s the very small fundamental details that separate you,” Joe Mazzulla The immeasurable value of fundamentals.

She can’t develop guards and it’s okay to admit that flaw about your coach

College athletics operated in a world of uniformly price-fixed athlete compensation for a long time. That world is now gone & like with any other labor market, everyone can’t afford the same talent. That doesn’t mean prices outside your price range aren’t fair market value.

@jjpitch @BriceMarich @247SportsPortal @SamWebb77 @TremendousUM @BluePrintJay @michiganinsider @TravisBranham_ @ebosshoops @_ZachShaw @ByAZuniga @247Sports Not envy — just calling it a transaction. Sure other teams spent more, but a purchase is still a purchase. $10M NIL war chest for an all-transfer roster isn’t old-school Michigan pride or ‘choosing wisely’ — it’s buying talent in the portal. Congrats on winning the new world.

Wake Forest transfer CG Juke Harris currently at #Michigan’s Basketball National Championship parade this morning. The 6-foot-7 playmaker ranks as the No. 6 overall player and the No. 1 combo guard in the @247SportsPortal rankings.
