Kentucky freshman gets Porsche: NIL

[Roy L Fuchs]

This is the present and future. Players will go to the highest bidder, period. Recruiting visits are no longer needed. Iowa better get an effective NIL strategy in place to attract too talent. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.as.../tyty-washington-nil-porsche-uk-wildcats-news

CJ scored too

i feel like i have to take a shower after reading that article. calipari is such a slime ball used car salesman.

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

Gee, who didn't see this coming. College sports--the way a lot of folks, myself included, loved them--are done.

I'm not saying these kids shouldn't be able to get paid for who they are, but the slime balls are going to be WAY more slimy.

Another sport on the chopping blocks. First pro and now college bball. Might be a case of when not if

This will implode rather quickly. Hopefully someone will put some rules in place and cap amounts per person and per university. Certain teams will get all the best players on scholaship and then get 5 more as walkons if they are getting compensation equal to or more than the scholarship value. It will implode rather quickly when the 10 best schools are always winning with their "superstars". Attendance will falter at the other 150 universities that lose continually and fans take the view that I don't need to waste my time there today. No ticket sales, no revenue, no reason.

We were in the running for Tyty Washington?? I had no idea he was even considering Iowa. We should probably start by getting a Porsche dealership in Iowa first, I doubt Porsche Omaha is going to be sponsoring Hawkeyes. McGrath Chevyland just isn't going to cut it if we want to compete with Kentucky.

I saw Jbo driving around in a new Honda Civic.

How much is Caitlin Clark's Hyvee deal?

 

[MitchLL]

Regarding the Porsche, I have a bad feeling this kid will end up wrapping it around a pole and ending his life/career.

 

[CleteyColgate]

How much is Caitlin Clark's Hyvee deal?

4, 5 or 6 figures?

 

[I O WUH]

Kentucky has been doing this for years. Nice they can finally make these deals public.

 

[Hendy hawk]

NIL is a bad thing for college athletics as I see it.

 

[87alum87]

Good thing Tarkanian isn't still at UNLV. His guys could get sponsored by the brothels. Maybe Pitino will show up there next!

Is that a Terrance Clark joke?

 

[LaQuintaHawkeye]

3 figures and a lifetime ‘free salad bar’ coupon.

 

[MitchLL]

No joke. You think an 18 yo with a Porsche ends well?

 

[nbanflfactory]

John Calipari made it known that when the NIL laws passed that, “no one should be able to benefit more than the players at Kentucky.”


so he admits they have plenty of experience in this?

In this case, he's selling new cars cheap. Very bad salesman!

Hope you are wrong.

Spencer Rattler, the OU QB, got both a truck and sedan, IIRC. Now he's been benched. LOL

ISU and Iowa have never attracted the kind of talent that would warrant a Porsche.

 

[StormHawk42]

This honestly doesn’t bother me.

-That type of recruit never comes to Iowa anyway
-It’s happened forever in college sports, especially basketball
-While it’ll take a few years, the market will eventually correct itself. The QB at OSU got a $1 million deal and hasn’t even sniffed the field. Sponsors are going to be a lot more cautious as time goes on to get a better ROI.

No no no. This is the end of the world as we know it! It's all downhill from here. Might as well never another moment of college sports!

 

[sbhawk64]

Stupid

Stupid gets you killed 100% half the time

Just an end to an Era of amateur sports. If the product begins to suck, replace or do with out

Does NIL allow for pay for performance? I think we can round up enough cash to buy every Hawk a Porsche if they win a B1G championship.

 

[RocknRollface]

I have to laugh at anyone who thought this wasn't going to be immediately used for buying recruits.

Thats the exact reason it was against the rules.

This is going to significantly change college basketball for the worse.

Combine this with effective free agency and its going to be a disaster.

Best case scenario, the ncaa is fired by the majority of schools and a new governing body is put in place.

I forgot I was on the hoops board for a second and wondered what you did for a living to help get 90 kids a Porsche.

You gotta be wondering what the founders of Nike (Oregon) and Under Armor (Maryland) have in the works

Lots of eggs to put i a 17 year old's basket.

It will probably happen at someplace like Bama. Got to keep that competitive edge!

 

[GunnerHawk]

It has filtered down to high schools with the best athletes attending IMG academy's, etc. No longer about academics to many athletes. It will ruin college athletics, sooner than later. There will be the haves and have nots.

 

[Scuba23]

NIL will ruin College Basketball as we know it. This is sad, I do not think the NIL is right just like I do not think NCAA and Colleges making $$$ off of student-athletes are right, not sure what the right answer is but this is not it.
