Northridge paid him, no one else.is paying him.anymore. Call, $400,000. U of M, $400,000. Northridge, maybe $100,000 but that's all that was being offered by anyone.
No offense meant here but, the 6'7 girl couldn't play DI basketball at the Summit league level. She couldn't run well enough and he skills offensively were incredibly limited.
I know the head coach is in your cross hairs, and he may very well be in over his head, but not playing the 6'7 girl was the right move. Not finding DI talent in the portal last spring is on him, big time.
St. Thomas is working towards playing in the Big East and football will be dumped completely. Their goal is being direct competition with the U of M in all sports other than football and the Big East move is next on their to-do list.
💯 agree that the old days were a blast for college sports, I miss it also.
That being said, it's time to get over having our feelings hurt by kids getting 6 figure deals from other schools.and choosing to leave. I've said it before but, 99% of us would take the money and go play somewhere else. Our coaching staff here has gotten better each year figuring this out and playing for a conference title this year was cool. It'll get figured out.
Maybe but the money today is nuts and when you are getting zero, $50,000 sounds pretty damn good.
If the Gopher basketball program has $6 million in NIL money, $400,000 is less than 1/12th of that amount. Good money for B.J. but guessing others got more by quite a bit
If your current boss is paying you $20,000 (made up number for a full scholarship) and another offers you a job doing the exact same thing and pays you $350,000 is your loyalty.to your boss keeping you at your current place of employment?
Loyalty and owning a commitment are dead in college sports and everyone needs to get over it. Coach and his group will go get 7-8 more guys and they'll move forward. Thats the way it is, even for Power 4 schools
