But a 6'10 shooter who's bulked up and in year 4 at the program is nobody to forget about. He's talented. Just needs some confidence and to carve out a role

I also think his role is directly impacted by how ready Bidunga is to contribute. If Bidunga is super raw (which we sort of know he is) then Clemence will have 10mpg almost guaranteed to help give HD and KJ breathers.

I'll take your comment a step further. It's still hard to predict playing time, because even tho bidunga is super raw, he can still be super effective, just by unleasing that athleticism and seeing what happens

I don't know ... do we have a # of "scholarships" limitation or is is simply a NIL thing with how much and how spread? What's on the front of the jersey, Mass St Collective?

I've been a college sports fan since Elgin Baylor played for Seattle U. I am losing more and more interest as NIL/portal/NCAA continues to fuck this up...

Welcome to the world of minor league pro sports with player unions, walkouts, holdouts, practice squads, ad infinitum ...

AI recap:

According to ESPN, a proposed settlement between the NCAA and college athletes would establish a spending cap for schools to pay their players:

Cap
The cap is expected to start at around $20 million per school and increase annually. The cap will increase by 4% each year and as college sports revenue grows.

Calculation
The cap is based on 22% of each school's average media rights, ticket sales, and sponsorship revenue.
Spending

Schools are not required to spend the full amount, but they can choose to share it with their athletes.
Other considerations

It's not clear if money schools already give to athletes would count toward the cap. Donations from boosters are not included in the revenue formula.

who says the revenue will grow? they're putting together a playbook on how to kill fandom.


An agreement such as the one above may be the death knell to what's left of my interest.

Younger me couldn't even fathom that I would say something so blasphemous.
