House case update

S
Strong rumors it will be settled for $2 billion worth of back pay to players plus the establishment of a "revenue sharing" model and man do I hate that term. Why dont we call payments to NFL or NBA players revenue sharing? Looks like $20 million per P4 program. Assuming $16 million for football. $4 million for basketball. Then thankfully most of these collectives will go away. If Pitt cant figure out how to win football games with a $16 million payroll, forget it. I think what you'll see is that assistant coaching salaries will come way down because you wont need recruiters anymore. The money recruits. Plus most coaching and support staff salaries are artificially high because there's no player expense.

What this case doesnt do is make them employees. That will be the next case. So still NIL and free transfers until someone sues about not being an employee, a case the NCAA has 0 chance to win.

After 12 years, did you expect Pitt to develop stronger ACC rivalries by now?

I wasn’t on these message boards at the time, but I recall my circle of Pitt fans speculating whether we’d develop new rivalries in the ACC.

For instance, there was a sense that Virginia Tech had the potential to become our new biggest rival after our previous matchups in the Big East, along with Miami to a certain extent. As for Syracuse, I think the feeling was pretty neutral in terms of our existing “rivalry” intensifying in football.

Have the series gone about as expected or have they exceeded/fallen short of your expectations? Were there any other schools you thought we’d develop a better history with by now?

So many good players left in the portal

S
A little jealous that Pitt has so many returning players. We need to add 2 more high level portal dudes. We need a starting 4 for Hinson. If it cant be Thiero, there is plenty out there.

PG - Lowe
SG - Leggett
SF - Dunn
PF - Portal
C - Corhen

Bench
Austin
GDG
Cummings
Portal
Jorge
Kante
Barnes

We can sell a starting position to a 4. We can also sell the chance to compete with Dunn to be a starter at a wing. And there's so many guys left, I'm not sure the money is going to be there for these guys as rosters fill up. For example, lets say Greg Elliot is in this year's class and is uncommitted on May 25. What's the rate going to be for a guy like that as everyone else has already broken the bank for other transfers?

OT: WVU and PSU NIL

S
Besides getting the coach's kid for free, WVU isnt having a great time in free agency. They only return 2 players and have only landed 3 other players so far, all from the University of Illinois system. 2 from Champaign-Urbana who averaged 2 PPG and 3 PPG. 1 from Chicago who averaged 11. This is a program who had one of the highest payrolls in college basketball last season and would have been higher if Tre Mitchell and Joe Toussaint didn't transfer. Makes me wonder if the boosters are taking a year or 2 off from basketball to go all in on football, who I don't believe has lost a significant player.

And PSU - not a good transfer class so far. I didn't think Rhoads was a good hire. Never like guys who simply maintain the best job in their league.
