Welcome Riley Kugel

OK, if you don't think our program is directly related/in contact with the powers that be that are getting this money, and that there are plenty of perks associated with said money, then I have a downtown Royals ballpark that is going to completely super charge the KC economy to sell you.

Nothing there rises close to the level of saying the program is paying NIL money.

[randylahey]

That's probably true but we don't have a set cap space.

Not set in stone, but surely there is some kind of yearly budget alloted

Err, ok.
May I interest you in this bridge while we are at it?
Maybe some swampland and/or other items that I can sell you?

[MICHHAWK]

is he trying to imply that HCBS is not pulling the nil purse strings. is that what he is trying to sell us.

I think so

[pdub]

No, our program isn't directly paying NIL money, but they pay a lot of money to a number of people who partner ( and likely lead/instruct ) directly with those who pay the NIL money, not excluding the person at the top who gets paid the most.

[jfish26]

And so what if he is? It is still not money that, at present, supports the statement that "we" are paying anything. Not even indirectly!

[ousdahl]

i suppose we could float the kid a gift card to the tattoo parlor

Finally, someone gets it.

Again, the biggest difference with NIL is less that players are getting paid, and more that pdub has to hear about it instead of pretending otherwise.

[MICHHAWK]

or. that with our vast resources. our tradition. our hof coach.

our nil $$$ is pulling in guys like klugel.

Always a dumb argument and continues to be dumb argument.
( unless you think there's some conspiracy for why players, and good ones, at Kansas are saying they didn't get paid )

[ousdahl]

…cuz that’s what KU’s PR coaches trained them to do?

[pdub]

These are players who aren't at KU anymore but you do you.

[ousdahl]

So then, what’s the conspiracy for women’s hoops players at directional Kentucky saying, “yeah, I got paid too, don’t be naive lol, we were all getting paid”

?

I remain fascinated by what you think you're accomplishing by purposefully misspelling certain people's names.

[TDub]

hopefully we are not paying this kid much. if anything.

we have some cap space now that km is off the rolls. so we should be able to sign 1 or 2 big names in free agency.

Why do you intentionally say things that are false? Do you think it’s clever?

I hate being lumped into the same pile with the michigander...but

I was thinking it

[randylahey]

I would love to know what our yearly NIL budget is for basketball. It's better than most I'd assume. There is no salary cap, but it also isn't unlimited

I am guessing in the $5,000,000+ range.

[MICHHAWK]

the bluebloods, KU included, have lost our advantage. now that the shoe companies are no longer funneling us players. it used to be the same 4-5-6 schools getting all the good players.



all schools have rich alums. that has leveled the playing field.
