Seasoned. Experienced. Calm. The point is, it has too often been Illini vs. Illini. Self defeating.

There are exceptions to every rule and I always reserve the right to contradict myself or change my mind without prior notice. As a general policy, I make an effort to avoid making nasty personal comments about others here. If their posting style or sense of humor rubs me the wrong way; I try to keep that to myself.

IVMP had a huge bizarre hard on for him for some reason. IVMP appears to have mental health issues. IlliniRay handled it all very well.

I understand that.  I was just wondering why that comment was made now.  I probably missed something.

The problem is the players really aren’t getting paid from the revenue that they directly bring in (TV Deals, Attendance Revenue).  The schools are keeping all that money.  So it’s a great thing for schools.  They can keep all the profits, and have a 3rd party pay the workforce.  And the 3rd party gets nothing for their investment.  Quite a ruse.  Will last 2 years max before people get fed up and say fuck it.  Not paying these guys anything.  Give them money from the money they make broadcasting their NIL.  Not my own Joe blow fan money.

I agree with this. These are good points. That does not mean you are right about Rodgers and Dainja.

NIL money and the one time penalty free transfer are both farces.

NCAA big sport athletes get valuable college scholarships in exchange for their services. They get breaks from admissions. Under the old rules, they had to redshirt if they transferred. They still got their scholarship, were allowed to practice, etc., and got a 5th year.

Paxton Warden is in the portal. Like Conner Serven, he is a preferred walk on, so this does not affect scholarships.

Based on a quick search of recent projections for 2023 draft and 2024 drafts, I think it would be prudent for both Hawk and TSJ to return for another year.

CBS showing 40-44 for both TSJ Higher
ESPN shoing 39-46 for both TSj Higher
Hoop Social 44-60 with Hawk being higher
Bleacher Report 45 for TSJ, Hawk not ranked top 50.
NBA Draft Room 70 for TSJ, nothing for Hawk
Sporting News 43-53 with TSJ higher
Sports Illustrated 31-34 with Hawk being higher.

I really think with these projections this year and draft class and next year being marginally worse as far as talent, they could work themselves both into the first round as far as picks and $$$
You played this game for fun as a kid, for yourself, no other reason was needed then or now, so, don't kid yourself.
