@mlucey13 @GoodmanHoops @TheFieldOf68 That’s funny!

@LumpyPB @GoodmanHoops @TheFieldOf68 Why shouldn't one want to eat cake? You should be content to look at a cake but not eat it?

BREAKING: BYU point guard Robert Wright III will enter the transfer portal, source told @TheFieldOf68. Wright averaged 18.1 points and 4.6 assists per game and shot 41% from 3 this past season. Started his college career at Baylor.

@KurtSupeCPA What happens if the parents charge fair market interest and the kid cannot pay but it gets added to the principal amount of the back end of the loan. Would the parents have to pay taxes on the imputed interest if they did not collect it for that year?

A couple came to me last year They wanted to loan their son $400,000 to buy a house 0% interest. 30 year payback. Honestly it was a brilliant idea. But there was a big problem. They could afford it and it would have saved their son hundreds of thousands in interest. But I had to stop them before they signed anything. The IRS taxes you on interest you never collected. It's called imputed interest. Charge below the minimum federal rate and you get a tax bill on phantom income. They had no idea. Neither did their previous advisor. The bank of Mom and Dad is one of the best moves in retirement planning. Charge the IRS minimum rate and your son still beats any bank in the country. You could also gift the interest payments back to him every year. A married couple can gift up to $38,000 annually tax free. The bank of Mom and Dad just got even better.

@WacOnion @GoodmanHoops @TheFieldOf68 This is because I’m the NBA, the players are employees and have Colle rice Bargaining Agreements! The universities are full of shit trying to get Anti Trust exemptions with the Supreme Court to not have to treat the players as employees with Workers Comp!!

@LumpyPB @GoodmanHoops @TheFieldOf68 He was locked into a $1m NIL deal and bailed one week later when BYU offered him 3 times as much. When have you ever seen that happen in the NBA? (The answer is never. It's NEVER happened and the player would lose trust and credibility with every other GM if he tried that).

@WacOnion @GoodmanHoops @TheFieldOf68 He locked in during February the father and the son. Independent contracts are worthless as they are only as good as the people that sign them! Baylor and all the universities have caused this by not making them employees with workers comp. Supreme Court is going to say NO!!!!

@CoachBaldwin23 Coach Baldwin, Valpo will miss you. Pat, you are a Good Man and we have enjoyed getting to know you.

Leaving Valpo is not easy… and I don’t think it’s supposed to be. Valparaiso is one of those places you truly have to experience to understand. There’s an essence to it, a pride, a toughness, a connection, that can’t fully be explained unless you’ve lived it every day. It’s in the locker room, in the relationships, in the battles, and in the moments that stay with you long after the final buzzer. I’m incredibly grateful for the way this place embraced me from day one. The people here, Roger “The Rev” Powell, players, staff, administration, and community make Valpo special. And what makes this bittersweet is simple: we shared something real. We built relationships, created extraordinary memories, and went through moments together that I’ll carry with me for life. This next chapter is an opportunity to grow and build alongside someone I’ve known for a long time, someone I’ve coached and watched develop into the man and leader he is today. That makes this move meaningful in a different way, but it doesn’t make leaving any easier. Valpo, thank you for welcoming me with open arms. The love is real, and it’s forever reciprocated. May God Bless You and Keep You! Love you Valpo!

@MaxBehrend7 @CoachSparks5 Max This is the new reality! Hard to blame a 20 year old kid for taking as much money he can get since 99.5% will never play in NBA and Europe pays less than NCAA does now! I just hope they don’t spend the money and instead invest, allocate and diversify the money well!

@CoachSparks5 Chris he was chasing money. Had he stayed at valpo and had a a stellar season he’d be in the 1-1.5 million range. Now he will go from 800k to 500-600k. Development not important anymore. All they care about is 💰

This is the bad side of NIL. Kid would have been all-conference at Valpo

@BuffaLouies Greatest place ever “World’s Best Wings” Coming from the person who invented the phrase😂😂

BuffaLouie’s commercial circa 1994! 📍711 W. 17th St. Bloomington, IN What’s your favorite memory at BuffaLouie’s?

@cdotjones That’s the thing, lesser conferences are equal to what used to be division 2 or 3. Kids play one year and then move up to division 1 from schools like Butler, Baylor or Marquette. The Real Division 1 schools have more money!

@LumpyPB That’s a reach lol D2 or D3? That’s insane. I can see if you said we need to switch conferences or something.

Dan Hurley just made a Big East Coach of the Year case for #ButlerMBB Thad Matta “Cash, man, they need money,” Hurley said about what Butler needs to succeed

@SGoldwein What’s the point? Butler, Baylor and Marquette don’t have a tenth of the amount of money needed to compete in the NCAA tournament. It’s over, unrestricted free agency without a salary cap and contracts are only as good as the people “kids” that sign them! Baylor Rob Wright?

@SGoldwein This is 💯 Butler, Baylor and Marquette cannot compete at this level. Division 2 or Division 3

@dandakich Schools like Butler, Marquette and Baylor are done! Zero money at these schools comparatively! You don’t got the DOUGH Hard to make the PIZZA

Want to fix Butler Basketball? - demolish or move out of Hinkle and get into a new place... -get rid of the "NIL Fundraisers" Hinkle is a dump and the "fundraisers" are milk toast and more worried about writing books That's A Start

@SandyMac718 @_REALMC Wrong!!!!!

@LumpyPB @_REALMC Baylor has money. They’ve spent it poorly

This staff is trying to bake a cake with no eggs. They haven't forgot how to coach they just have no eggs to bake!

@JonRothstein What a bunch of bull shit! It’s all about the money, The players don’t care about the school or the community. How much you going to pay me! Texas Tech tries to buy winning!

Has Texas Tech already started planning its efforts to retain JT Toppin for next season? bit.ly/4lmjETP (Apple) bit.ly/443aDt9 (Spotify) bit.ly/49VyxbX (YouTube)

FIRST PLAYER THAT COMES TO MIND WHEN YOU SEE THIS LOGO IS…

@marty_obst @CraigCartonShow @craigcartonlive Top 10 Business School Kelly Largest Living College Alumni Base in Country Very High NIL “Collective” How the heck do you think Indiana Football can change so fast Indiana has lots of 💰💰💰💰💰 Indiana will make Cignetti highest is if coach in College Football

@CraigCartonShow @craigcartonlive The whole stadium was filled with Indiana fans. IU costs $55,000 per year and their business school is in the top 25 in the country. What an ignorant statement from clearly a moron.

INDIANA WON’T HAVE FANS BECAUSE THEY CAN’T AFFORD IT! “You’re gonna see a half-empty coliseum for the Rose Bowl! People thought folks from Indiana were gonna travel well and buy absurdly high priced tickets… $400 plus!” — @craigcartonlive #Indiana #RoseBowl #CollegeFootball

@KGatBU This may be the best POST and MOST TRUE POST I have ever read about my best friend!!!!!!!

Take it from someone with first-hand knowledge, Scott Drew is only an existential threat to: 1. Non-coffee drinkers 2. People who don’t like receiving voice texts and 3. Basketball players who aren’t interested in learning about Jesus

@RealPitino Coach Pitino exactly correct! European kids have been playing for Club Teams getting paid for years and then play college basketball and everyone knows it.

Everything I'm reading from college coaches is great stuff, but what's not being said, is that it’s no longer college basketball. It's professional basketball with budgets that rival the Euroleague. So pros have trade deadlines. The G league is way below college basketball on a pay scale. Even two way players are way below. Unfortunately the game I've been in for over 40 years no longer exists.

@NotMackR Exactly correct! It’s Pro Basketball with Unrestricted Free Agency Nobody likes it but it’s LEGAL just like BYU and Purdue paying their point guard 4 million.

The “ethical” bullshit is getting tiring. Scott Drew bettered his team in a way allowed by the NCAA. Is this different than what was done before? Yes. Will everyone like it? Of course not. Just because you don’t like it doesnt mean it’s unethical.
