I guffawed.

You’re the same idiot that agreed with me when I said we’re not aiming high enough if we never hear “no.”

The guy who says he “Never said there was no chance,” but then pushed back mightily on a 1% estimate as way too high is upset his statements aren’t being fairly represented. Can’t make this deliciousness up.

And believing that Self could “only laugh at Illinois,” an institution he poured his heart and soul into for three years at, has talked about fondly, and probably still has friends at is incredibly jaded and cynical.

Yep, and try to respond to it even though it's - as is typical - totally separate from the shit I am actually saying.

Did you not say that the benefit is "knowing we took the biggest swing we could"?  Why would we stop at Self, if that's the goal of the thing?  There are other giant swings we could take with the same likelihood of success.

If that isn't the goal of texting him, then what is?

Pretty amazing you can’t distinguish the difference between a guy who coached here, still probably has friends here, speaks fondly of his time here; and Roy Williams. But here we are. And yes, the chances of Self ever returning are very very low. Both can be true.

Much much less than 1%. But more than 0%. Or so I’m told. Somewhere in the .10 percentile to be exact.

I shouldn't have been so dismissive of 1%.  I apologize.  I do not believe the chances are that good.

I’d say they are zero percent if no one reaches out to him. If Whitman reaches out to him, that skyrockets to close to 1%.

It was idiotic to agree with you that they may as well contact Self?

I can still laugh at whatever Spark and you are arguing about.

No, you’re the idiot crocodilian brain that won’t miss an opportunity to pile on. It’s your schtick.

So what I took out of all this is basically Tempo just wants to flatter Bill Self and make him feel good. If that’s the case Tempo, then why don’t you just message him on Twitter and ask him out yourself?!

We’ve already determined that Bill Self is incapable of being flattered. He’s a soulless robot whose entire identity is wrapped up in his status (and advancing that status). He would literally mock and laugh at anything that is “beneath him.” Which is everything. Advancement in status is the only thing that appeals to him. So, like maybe God or King of Basketball. That’s about the only way you might move any needles with him. Anything less would clearly be worthy of mockery and scorn.

I was in Knoxville TN for an event Wednesday and Thursday. I met a guy who works for the UT NIL collective. It was absolutely fascinating listening to him describe how all this stuff works. He is tied in with all the coaching staffs and recruitments.

I asked him what they typically raise in NIL and he said that they “need to raise 25 million this year.” The way they are setting things up is that fully expect a collective bargaining agreement to be reached where the schools are all paying players directly. The NIL money will essentially then be a slush fund for elite level recruits.

I asked him about if the NIL stuff cannibalizes the donations to the athletic department, and he said yeah it’s basically just robbing Peter to pay Paul, wherein Paul represents the players. It’s the Wild West and everyone is just flying by the seats of their pants to raise enough money to get top players.

But anyways I couldn’t find another thread for this so I put it here because it’s clear there are people that are really connected to the athletic programs and know what’s happening in these recruitments especially now with all the money flowing through NIL.
