@EvanMiya But that’s not NIL. That’s Rev Share or am I badly misinformed on how the house Settlement is supposed to work? I’m just trying to figure this out. Thanks, Evan

@chwest1 "NIL" is just the word we use to signify cash going into the pockets of student-athletes at this point.

The NIL market for college basketball is now up 65% from last offseason. And there's a certain player type that's being overpaid.

He’s played 135 games.
What are we talking about?

NEWS: UCSB guard Aidan Mahaney has entered the transfer portal, @LeagueRDY has learned. The 6-3 guard has played two seasons at Saint Mary’s, one at UConn, and one at UCSB. Started 97 out of 135 career games. He averaged 14.9PPG, 2.7APG and 1.9RPG this season.

@GiovanniLenhart This seems ethical. Academic instititions whose reputation rests on ethics and values that prohibit fraud, cheating and dishonesty are perpetuating this. Seems logical.
English
@chwest1 Just cause they agreed to it really don’t matter tbh. These big schools will find ways around it
English
Word around the streets is Shelstad and Bidunga got paid more than the total NIL budget for about 70% of teams in D1 last year. Allegedly $9 million for the two.
We keep saying this is unsustainable, and yet there is no end in sight.

Source: Oregon guard Jackson Shelstad and Kansas big man Flory Bidunga have both committed to Louisville. A major package deal for the Cardinals, as the Louisville administration was aggressive in laying out a vision for building championship roster.

@GiovanniLenhart There is a house settlement in place that all the P4 conferences agreed to. Conferences need to step in and enforce these tenants. It’s already been agreed to
English
@GiovanniLenhart @SJUDave That’s my take… it isn’t NIL and ppl keep misrepresenting it as such. I just want rules to be followed and transparency around the process. Otherwise, what’s the point?
English
Is there really any functional difference between a well-connected Dick Vitale falling for that Braylon Mullins post and the way certain people treat On3 NIL valuation reports as fact?
English
@GiovanniLenhart I think you'll hear a lot more teams in the 15-20 mil NIL range this year

It's been 62 years since the premiere of The Pink Panther. Let's reminisce about the timeless theme song composed by Henry Mancini.

Louisville is making a strong push for Wisconsin transfer guard John Blackwell.
He’s the #2 ranked transfer in the portal behind Louisville commit Flory Bidunga 👀

@chwest1 I dont love it either but its the reality of the situation and to compete you need to spend. Sometimes it won’t work out, not sure what accountability you want other than firing the coach? Until that point you’ve gotta keep spending, can’t stop cause u had a bad year previously

NEWS: Louisville has secured commitments from Kansas transfer Flory Bidunga and Oregon transfer Jackson Shelstad, two of the top players in the portal, sources tell @On3.
Massive additions for Pat Kelsey.

BREAKING: Kansas transfer Flory Bidunga and Oregon transfer Jackson Shelstad have committed to Louisville, @JoeTipton reports. Bidunga ranks No. 1, and Shelstad No. 17 in the On3 Industry Transfer Portal rankings. on3.com/transfer-porta…

@DasmrSutton Conference accountability for teams that play outside the lines of the agreed upon structure would be a start for me. Also full transparency around where the money is coming from. Based on rev share agreement, schools are maxed out at $20.5 mil across all sports/athletes.
English
@DasmrSutton I’m just salty that there are rules (NIL and house settlement) that very few are following. In my world view, a blank check and openly flaunting pay for play is not the way, but he’s not my program’s coach and it’s not my money, but I just think it’s bad for the game.
English
@bomberjacket5 @chwest1 @JoeTipton @On3 Yeah I mean I’m not really defending Kelsey. I don’t necessarily think they should fire him but I get not having a ton of confidence either. I just think whoever your coach is gonna be you should be giving him your full support including financially
English
@shane_segura When Bidunga’s camp was putting out 4-5 mil for just him? Doubtful
English
@FreedomHallNuts @ReinOnWildcats It comes from the reports that louisville spent 5 million on both players but most people are reading that as 5 x 2 = 10 and not 5/2 =2.5
English
Bro how much NIL money does Louisville have lmao
10m+ combined on Shelstad and Bidunga, Blackwell is another 7m probably

@FreedomHallNuts Then show the receipts… what is the number? And who’s paying?
English
@ReinOnWildcats This is NOT NIL! We need to call if for what is is… pay for play.
English
@DasmrSutton Secondly, this type of thing is not NIL… name, image, likeness is a very small component of anything that’s happening now
English
@chwest1 Hindsight is 20/20. Ofc theyre not happy about spending a ton of $ and it not working out but to win u have to spend $ in NIL. If u dont trust ur coach to use it well, move on but whoever ur coach is u should back fully and trust. Are u arguing they shouldnt be using NIL at all?
