How bad do you want it? And how much does it cost to be just above average in men’s hoops vs. great? And what happens if/when the Great Realignment comes?


The idea that North Carolina can afford to pay Hubert Davis $5 million to leave and Arizona $9 million for Lloyd's buyout before they've given him a penny in salary or a dime for his roster seems very far fetched to me, to put it mildly.

Per Tommy Lloyd’s contract with Arizona, his buyout is now $9M (as of April 1).
