Good practical wisdom from Bill Self that we need to heed. And why your coach has to be aware of marketing and branding.

It’s going to be hard in the future, looking forward, to be able to have players that are in your programs three and four years,” Self said. “You guys (banquet goers) all understand why. Because you play at a place for a year and you do a decent job, somebody is going to pay you more money to come to their school.

“That’s the way it works in today’s world. NIL in theory is good. It’s also the way (of) the world that’s not so good too, just be very candid with you. If we want to play with the big boys, then we’ve got to play the game and we have to participate. We need your help to do so and it is appreciated. But that is a key component in our success moving forward.”

It's been a key component for them since Wilt Chamberlin. They've been actively doing this for 70 years. The only thing different is everybody has bag men now. Poor fella. What a POS.

Yeah talk about “Self”-righteous. “This isn’t necessarily good for college basketball, but it’s the way of the world now ”. Interpretation: “this isn’t good for ku basketball now that everyone can do it instead of just us and a few other bluebloods”.

I was thinking about how Duke, UCONN and Calipari poo poo the portal. I think at some point their aloofness will bite them in the butt big time.

In the first year the secret Cat c-sign was given. It was fun.
Now nothing like that.
Slick introduction videos seem to be the in thing.
I suspect the reasons for the change. Your speculative thoughts...

WOW, the NBA has put a LIFETIME ban on Missouri's Jontay Porter for gambling. This is Michael Porter's little brother.
