who is criticizing? this is a message board...you ask questions and you comment on things.
my take on this is the NIL is going to hurt schools in "small/er" markets. when I heard this announcement I assumed it would be the rydell, Simonson, gershmanns, magnussons and browns.
instead we got boner and holth. not sure exactly how wealthy these two young men are but it ain't like wes and whatnot.
we need now over 300k to keep a nice small forward on the men's side....can those two even do enough to come close to keeping bj around. nope
then you have hockey which is in real trouble....used to be "come play for the bad bad fighting Sioux (before or after REA1.0) and they would say "hell yeah"....now its "hey snuggerud you wanna play for the big bad fighting hawks"....yeah but it'll cost ya 1million per year..."hold the line"..."hey John and Matt snuggerud needs 1million"....
that's a lot of cheesy pickles and long island ice teas
