[QUOTE="glandon1960, post: 941368, member: 2458"] I said NIL was going to get out of control when they announced it because there are no (next to no) rules and guardrails. Allows exactly what you said - for a deep pocket alum to impact a coach's ability to recruit - sign players that school probably would not have before NIL. In 3-5 years, you may well end up with a group of 25-30 teams in basketball that have enough funding that they are basically competing amongst themselves for the best players - and if a player develops at another school, they can poach him with $$$. Unlike football, smaller (less money) schools can compete with the big names in basketball - may go deep in NCAA a given year when things go right, but won't consistently be able to - only exception has been Gonzaga and what is status of their NIL these days (I do not know). Laranaga can coach - but I do not believe he would have the roster he does this year without large NIL $$$ - Pack said wanted X in NIL to sign anywhere. Wong asked for significant NIL, etc. Supposedly, our AD has money lined up to let GT compete .... CDS referred to a salary cap (which implies he'll have X$ to spend on players through NIL). If they get to at least average $$$ for ACC team - they should be able to compete reasonably well. Largest payroll will not guarantee you win it all, coaching/chemistry/injuries/egos/etc still come into play. Worth nothing CJP has $0 NIL to work with last couple years - no way to know what he would have been able to do with enough NIL $$ - but you have to assume talent coming in would he more highly rated, and he likely lands some more highly regarded transfers. All he had to promise recruits was chance to play in the ACC, great school, and player development. [/QUOTE]
