Our team was straight garbage and we’re rebuilding from scratch. No issues with sending the garbage up north to the worst program in the conference.

Spaztecs Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 On 4/25/2024 at 9:11 PM, Someone Else said: So reading those two links it seems no one knows. What they say is some guy last year was promised 400k+ but Ohio St didn't give it all to him. Doesn't mean this other player from SDSU didn't get offered 400-600k... my guess is if this guy from SDSU (forget his name) thinks he's getting 400-600k , Butler thinks he's worth more or at least as much. You can't blame these kids for taking advantage of the situation. they should. Unfortunately, long term this doesn't bode well for college athletics as a whole. The point being, most recruiters are throwing numbers at kids. The top numbers, like Micah Parrish, being offered are $400k are for the top players and guys with seniority on the team. Not for roster filler. As to the last two sentences, yes, they should take the money. While it may not bode well for roster stability, player development, etc., you can get better in one off season. My biggest concern is kids changing Schools like gym socks. Most of these kids won't graduate. Many of their credits won't transfer from one system to another and another and another. In their pursuit of immediate cash, they will sadly throw away their post basketball earning potential. Jay Pal from SDSU just ran out of eligibility. He played at four Schools in five years. The first at a Texas JC, followed by stints at small Colleges in the South. Then finished at SDSU. How much longer will he have to go to School to get that degree with the right classes ?

Certainly none of us can know exactly what anyone is actually getting but with all the numbers being thrown around all these kids are seeing dollar signs. Beyond that I can't agree with you more. On the face of things it's nice that these kids are now allowed to earn money but how this is actually playing out isn't good over the long term for the majority of SAs. I have nothing against capitalism. I own a business but I realize and appreciate there needs to be some sort of regulation. The same should apply here but there is nothing,,, it's a free for all, no rules at all. The funny thing is that this started because the schools were making all this money off of the SAs and not sharing any of it... and yet what's happening now is not the schools sharing the money they make... it's the boosters that are paying the bills... maybe that means fewer donations to the school but they sure aren't sharing that TV revenue (beyond what they already were doing). In any case, we'll see how this all plays out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Though it is a message board where people post opinions. And that advice applies to many of the posts here so be sure to let everyone know that they "really have no clue" when it comes to the future.)

Spaztecs Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Apparently, there is interest in Butler from Big Time Schools. Quote On Thursday afternoon, Fox Sports’ Aaron Torres reported that Scheyer and the Blue Devils have been in contact with San Diego State transfer guard Lamont Butler. The Blue Devils are one of a multitude of teams who have reached out, along with Kentucky, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Southern Cal, Washington, and West Virginia Quote "We don't have evidence but, we have lot's of theories."
