Many of these players will be issuing car insurance in a few years.

Isn’t that even more of an incentive to get NIL deals at six figures while they can?!?
Don't know how accurate the 300k number is, but absolutely agree that it's more than just kansas and kentucky with potential deep pockets for basketball. The entire big east are all b-ball schools only. None of those NIL dollars have to go to supporting a 2 million dollar starting qb plus the multi millions that add up to every other position on a large football roster. I've no doubt that marquette, villanova, creighton and some of the others in that league have their share of alumni with $$$$ willing to shell out for players.
"Hi, this is {insert overrated player name here} with City Nissan. You may remember me as the guy who walked out on your program with a sweet NIL deal 20 years ago, and now I want you to walk off my lot with a sweet deal on this 2044 Nissan Altima."
I just checked and Omoruyi from Rutgers is somehow ranked as the number one guy in the portal by cbssports. That’s crazy and shocked me a little! No way I thought he was that sought after.
Exactly. I don't have issues with the players for making money while they can. This may be their chance for something to get them a start in life before their playing days are done.
Yea. Big East basketball is supreme at all these schools, including UConn. If you are a scholarship basketball player at Creighton, you make over six figures a year, and have the opportunity to make a lot more. I should say, they make low six figures and have the opportunity to make more. They aren’t paying guys millions.
If SWARM Inc has to pay $300,000 to get a "Tony Perkins" type player, lets just shut the whole frickin' thing down.
shit, what if he had made them?
$1M?
This season he shot 29.9% from 3 and 43.2% overall.
Well said, he was an athletic player on a roster that was severely lacking quickness/athleticism. For someone not highly wanted from top programs out of HS, he had a decent career for Iowa. As others said, I think he will do well at a program like that already has an established PG or 2, has more athleticism, and values defense. 😉
So, for now, the incoming team (including non-scholarship) consists of 12 white guys out of 14. Kind of bizarre to think about that.
still waiting for the racial analysis from IowaLaw.
IMO it would have to be overseas, but you never know. Also, if that is the case why the portal?
I think what I typed here doesn't make sense.
Sometimes I have Senior Moments, I'm afraid.
Doesn't take much analysis to observe the clear trend of who transfers out and who transfers into Fran's program. He probably wasn't comfortable with Perk's athleticism anyway
Me as well.........I think what I typed here doesn't make sense.
JBo? How about the reason NIL exists........ed o'bannon
You mean there's two of them???
Players hear “a lot of talk” from NCAA President Mark Emmert about Title IX, NIL
A trio of men’s basketball players asked NCAA President Mark Emmert during a video call Thursday to abide by, and enforce, Title IX gender equity rules and to create a waiver that would let c…

Uhhhhh yea. JBo and Geo Baker at Rutgers were spearheading this NIL movement. If they want to take the credit, make sure they also get the blame for the mess this has created.
12 white guys. Perfect swim team or Taylor Swift trivia team, but a piss poor basketball team. Get ready for 13+ losses next year!!! Shit show continues. Absolute pathetic embarrassment!!
So you're going to fire him if we don't make the tourney next year. Does Beth know?
Thanks for the effort - aside from your last 3 to 4 games in the Iowa uni - and memz, Tony, but don't you dare go to either Nebby or IU (based off that list)!
I'm mixed, he did alot for the program and was a good hawk. But the way he seemed to be not giving his best effort at the end left a lot to be desired

I don’t think he is quite good enough to start for a blue blood. Could be a nice 6th or 7th man, but doubt he is leaving to ride the pine.
I could see him landing at a school like Texas Tech, Louisville., South Carolina, Southern Cal, or DePaul (assuming they ratchet up their NIL)

This is best for everyone. He's been fun to watch but now it's time to move on. Let's seem what the younger guys can do.
I thought the same thing about Moss and I was wrong.
If there's one thing we can count on with FrannyMac, its a racially diverse roster.
(if different shades of white are counted as 'racially diverse')
I’m kind of aghast we don’t want Tony back. He was second team all big ten. I can tell you there aren’t any second team all big ten guards on this roster that aren’t already starting (aka Dix). And if people are questioning his effort or heart all you have to do is look at Pmac and see what Fran allows on his team. Double standard.
I wish him well, but I do question his effort in the last few games. Maybe he was hurt, maybe he just didn’t give a damn. I wonder if he will return to Indiana or Purdue.
Dix was our best perimeter defender. Still is.
For me, its not about wanting Tony back or otherwise.
Thanks to NIL and the transfer portal, big time college athletics are now a cut-throat business world.
If you got money, you can buy & retain some real quality players. If you don't, well, the reason this thread exists is a result of not having (much) NIL money.
We might be worse next year without him but to me, it's like watching the same movie over and over. I've seen the Perkins movie and while it's good, I'd like to watch something different.
