It must also be pointed out that if Sallis were to fall to a 2nd round pick, that is not a guaranteed contract. So like Hoard & Alondes, at best a two-way. That could mean that our NIL monies are better than going NBA. Sure paid off for Bacot.
Tim Duncan stayed all 4 years instead of going 1st in NBA draft as a soph or junior.
He negotiated big money contracts and essentially transferred for greener pastures. He’s complaining about players doing exactly that.
I am sure many coaches agree with him but you don't which is fine. I am with the camp that thinks a happy medium would be good. otherwise all of college will be just a minor league and if that is the case the big money schools will always take home the trophy.
I just have a hard time listening to coaches preach on this when their ludicrous contracts are part of what has led to dismantling college athletics and conferences.
Why does Alabama want these 17 year olds so bad if they aren’t worth the money?
Top half of the second round is guaranteed these days, has been for several years.
But usually just a year guaranteed whereas first round are 3 I believe. Too many variables if it was me cs getting great NIL and an insurance contract.
Scoooooooop !
I never said that. But thanks.
well in bball you have gonzaga, villanova, and many other smaller schools competing. Football has always been a different story where the big sold out stadiums, facilities, tv contracts rule. But Bball may follow suit if the fan base money dictates your starting five and players can change teams every year. obviously we compete quite nicely in other sports - baseball, soccer tennis etc.
First round has 2 guaranteed years. Years 3 and 4 are team options.
