@ronaldusseryjr @esidery It’s not just NIL anymore they can directly pay players by sharing athletic department revenue

@esidery Schools matching projected NBA draft earnings through NIL could push courts to question whether this is still "name, image, and likeness" or something that looks a lot more like direct compensation for athletic services.
English
UConn will soon offer a lucrative NIL package to Braylon Mullins in order to hopefully keep him another year.
Mullins, currently projected as a mid-1st round pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, can earn around $4-5 million annually if he declared.
UConn plans on matching that figure.

@mccheezeburger @UConnReport @novarules95 All michigan fans have to go by is Kenpom. The Kenpom ratings have been higher and higher every year NIL has been a thing because the top teams are getting better and better than the average team. Michigan barely beat the worst UConn team to make a natty and needed the refs
English
@UConnReport @novarules95 Eh, this is just sour grapes. You’re hurt so you’re lashing out. You’ll get over it, bud.
For what it’s worth, 2026 Michigan is significantly higher in Kenpom than 2024 UCONN and 2018 Nova. But you knew that.
English
The 2024 UConn team would destroy this years Michigan team. Like not even competitive. Would win by 15+.

@ChrisApper35481 @GmingClipz So obvious he was milking the injury. He almost played the entire game. 30-50% is wild. They get shoved in a locker against the 23 and 24 huskies no problem. Every matchup is a win for UConn besides a healthy Yaxel vs Karaban. And it’s not even really debatable
English
@GmingClipz We are also saying the obvious that Yax was 30%-50% of his normal self. If he’s 100% they win that game by 20+ and we all know it. He is an elite defender who couldn’t move, and elite rebounder who could barely jump, and elite passer, shooter, and scorer and couldn’t move.
English
Michigan just beat one of the weakest UConn teams in years by 6 points, and they're saying shit like this.
2024 UConn has the highest tournament point differential ever, and won the title game against a loaded Purdue by 15 points.
This is fucking outrageous. I'm sorry.
Chuck@CFBChuckk
I’ll say it… If Yaxel Lendeborg is healthy, 2024 UConn would get the Arizona treatment too.
English
@b_bronner @GmingClipz Ur actually so fucking stupid. Michigan couldn’t even win their conference championship and lost to Wisconsin who got bounced in the first round. 24 UConn played the worst game of the season against seton hall and Creighton shot over 50% from three at home. Then didn’t lose again
English
@GmingClipz That Uconn team lost to Seton Hall by 15 and Creighton by 19, fuck outta here with that weak ass team. Michigan beats that uconn team by 10+. Mich has a higher point differential out of ALL 40 games with the #1 SOS, so playing a MUCH harder schedule than 2024 uconn
English
@GmingClipz UConn was mid as can be from ‘14-‘15 through ‘21-‘22. Won the title in one of the weirdest tourneys in ‘23, won in ‘24 convincingly with Dan’s best team, mid again in ‘25, and then this year was Dan’s second best team he’s had, Michigan just wasn’t gonna lose to anybody.
English
@LordSothk0tlrip @ItsMediocreDan Sources say Michigan was “well over 10 million” while UConn was between 8-10, and they weren’t all transfers
English
@MarcLeone14 @ItsMediocreDan Every team is bought my guy. Your team spent 9 million on NIL. Michigan only spent 10.
English
All 5 starters from UConn’s 2024 Championship team will (most likely) be playing in the NBA next season.
Including a ROY and future All-Star Center.
Won’t ever be able to say that about 2026 Michigan,
They are an elite team, but 2024 UConn was better.
English
@jdawgmurkin @ItsMediocreDan Mfs don’t realize how deep the 24 UConn team was
English
@ItsMediocreDan Pretty sure people were saying ‘25 Florida would beat ‘24 UConn too after last year when they beat an 8 seed UConn team by 2 pts. It’s recency bias. Both ‘25 Florida and ‘26 Michigan lose by 10+ to ‘24 UConn and anyone who actually watched those teams agrees
English
@ItsMediocreDan Completely false and delusional. Johnson Yax Mara McKinney and Cadeau will all be playing in the NBA. 2024 UConn was not the better team and the stats prove it
English
@overtime Thank god that man is going to be working at jiffy lube and his time at UConn is over
English
@James34628938 @BleedBlueUConn Samson Johnson would put Yaxel in a bodybag 💀
English
@BleedBlueUConn Who on your team would be able to guard healthy yaxel? Michigan was also missing the best backup pg in the country since February.
English
@NFL_Legend_56 @John_Fanta Idk how Michigan can pay their entire starting lineup and the refs too, got some crazy boosters in Ann Arbor
English
@John_Fanta Any word on how much the refs were paid off?
English
Michigan is on the mountaintop in men’s college basketball for the first time since 1989.
The Wolverines have the Big Ten’s first title on the men’s side since 2000. Immediate reaction:

He’s better than Izzo, Calipari, & Pitino but because he ain’t old and Italian he won’t get the respect.

Dan Hurley in March Madness since 2023: • 2 Titles 🏆 • 3 Final Fours 🏆 • 17-1 Record ✅ • 17-1 Against The Spread 🔥 (The 1 loss was against National Champion Florida by 2) ONE OF THE BEST COACHING RUNS EVER.

"He's the best and most brilliant mind we have in the game of college basketball. ... If he wins his third championship in four years, he is the modern-age Coach K."
@RealJayWilliams on UConn's head coach Dan Hurley 👀
English
@Capkirch @CbbReview @UConn6thBorough @CardiacCTReview @SSN_UConn He is most definitely the best women’s coach of all time. I think the women’s game is much more strategic and the coach has a much bigger impact on the outcome than the men’s game where players are so talented any game could be a win or loss. So the argument is tough
English
@CbbReview @UConn6thBorough @CardiacCTReview @SSN_UConn Geno is definitely greatest Huskies coach, 12 going on 13 national championships
English
If Dan Hurley leads UConn to a 3rd National Championship in 4 years, has he surpassed Jim Calhoun as the greatest coach in Huskies’ history?
English
English
@Common_Jets_Fan @FirstTake @stephenasmith Agreed. I know the big east holds and grabs on actions but I think you’re kidding yourself if you think you can just turn it on come tourney time. I was looking for more of a character arc from Uconn, growing through losses etc, but I haven’t really seen that
English
"Dan Hurley. I believe in this man. ... He will have UConn ready. I believe in him."
@stephenasmith is picking UConn to come out of the East region ✍️
