Great message from Coach Amir

How did you all miss that he used the “C” word, not once, but twice?

Is CAAR just that self aware of the concern bulls nation has as to the players transferring?

Now that I'm paying into NIL I feel differently.

Used.

Yeah, okay, negative nancies. Bottom line is that we've had 3 players probably chasing money but we've still got 7, at least at this point, that have chosen to stay here and I assume will benefit from the NIL. Obviously you can do what you want in this flawed system but feeling "dirty" or "used" is pretty melodramatic. Whether we like it or not it's the new reality, at least for now, and giving to our NIL, warts and all, certainly couldn't hurt if one is so inclined.

Probably the best actual center we had in while. Last year we played really without a center Pryor, walker, strout are more small forwards/power forwards.

The real answer to all of this is to dispense with the NILs and roll the payments into the actual scholarships 

The NIL collectives could still fund the scholarships through the universities, but since the scholarship is a contract, the universities could add a buyout clause similar to coaches contracts 

The problem though would be Title IX and the non-revenue sports - scholarship values for football and men’s basketball would far outpace all other sports

Indeed.  I would like to have a guy like #50 from FAU.

Wasn't trying to be melodramatic. I give to try to keep the players here and then they leave because someone from another school has more money than me. Call it what you want. Not a great feeling.

Best part!

I loved it! We’ll have several bad dudes to take us to another conference championship!

In every fanbase, there are good fans and bad fans. USF has it's share of both.   I'm sure the transferring players are getting negative comments on their social media.  None of them really owed us anything or deserve anything negative.  They gave us a conference championship in a season where we were picked to be irrelevant.  I'm now considering basketball season tickets over football.  

What are you waiting for? Get those basketball season tickets!
