Boston Celtics President Brad Stevens was 100% correct on Beth Goetz. "They better name her the Full Time AD. She's as good as it gets."

Appears that >> the majority of the board feel it should be $5M-$6M <<

I've mentioned this a few times before, but the NCAA needs to devise a CBA and let the students unionize.

A salary cap must be put in place, and it should be based on which conference it is.

Obviously the MBB P5 (B10/SEC/B12/ACC/BE) conferences will fall into the highest range of salary cap...(~$5-6M per program to start, then probably going up ~$300K per year thereafter)...with the other conference (AAC/MW/etc.) conferences at ~$2M.

Either fans step up big time, or Iowa desperately needs to find a sugar-daddy ...or it won't be able to compete moving forward.

I hope Ben can put a competitive team together with the $5M payroll

Is a salary cap likely to happen? It seems like every time someone tries to limit the players' earnings, the players sue and they win

Probably not, the courts have ruled that NIL isn't a negotiable "salary" but rather comes from non-school income (i.e. outside endorsements) and that cannot be limited or capped. It's stupid and it's going to kill MBB as we have always love it. Especially if they continue to allow unfettered transfers every year, which basically means the players can become free agents every year.

STUPID.

Brad Stevens is a bb savant.
Ben does remind me of him.
Stevens was in the investment industry doing analytics much like Ben's early aspirations.
I get the impression that Ben is very detail oriented. Precision is critical in his holistic approach to the game.
Well done,Beth.
