Bitching About NIL

[panda]

1. He knows nothing about what's going on in other programs, specifically football.

2. He did not necessarily know what Bo and/or other assistants were doing.

3. There's little reason anybody here has to believe this anecdote of yours anyway.

As this is a basketball board, I was speaking to basketball recruiting and nothing else.

You can choose to believe or not believe. But I really have a hard time believing another person (not you) who can barely leave his computer for five minutes without posting nonsense here would have any sort of real trustworthy insight into the actual goings on of a high level basketball program.

The dude believes that Homer is intentionally stepping away from Marquette basketball stuff because he asked Homer in a bar once. Let's just say he's a little gullible.

I too believe everything I read on the internet that conveniently align with my personal beliefs.

I also cowardly refuse to actually challenge my own thoguhts when someone else offers an easy option to confirm my very confident stance.

As always you're technically correct. I forgot about the cheating scandal that happened such a long time ago, the newspaper article is xerox'ed onto the internet lol

The strangest part was Dr. B breaking into Viper's basement and stealing it out of the frame to photocopy it.  Could have just just snapped a pic on his phone and saved himself some time.

Bo Ryan would often take his team to local courses in Madison, buy them rounds of golf, golf clothing and equipment and dinner, the Bridges being the most frequented.  He did the same thing while at UWM, with Wanaki being the most frequented.

Whether you choose to believe that or not, is up to you.

I am more than technically correct and it has happened since then.

As of 2015 (latest info I could find) Wisconsin-Madison was tied for 5th most major NCAA violations.

I think most of those were well before the Alvarez era but at one time, they definitely were near the top for violations

Ok Rovell. according to you the sky isn't blue it's Pantone 128

You may want to sit the rest of this out because...well...this is really a lame response. You are simply wrong.

I don't doubt that UW may have lost out some athletics recruits because those recruits were looking for the biggest payday possible.  That doesn't mean UW never paid any recruits until NIL.  It just means they were outbid.

But I'm sure said UW assistant basketball coach would be going around to Marquette fans telling them they're paying recruits if they were doing so.

I had to dig deeper into the Panda Den for this one which Bo got exiled to Platteville as a result.   The pages were so worn I had to pay to retype the article.

Good find.  And some interesting thoughts in there as well.  Someone said there are levels of "swarmy" and I think that's the point being made by most here.

Sully sent you to his penalty box. He's sent me there too. It's ok. There's a bunch of Sports Illustrated swimsuit editions in a box, cans of mini-ravioli on a shelf, and the MU '77 title game on an endless loop. See ya there.

Playing The Bridges is punishment, not reward.

Don't forget, Bo killed a hooked and dumped her body at the Autozone across the street from Visions(RIP).

I've been told for years by a red co-worker the only reason Rashard Griffith turned pro after his 2nd year was WI refused to keep paying for his mother's house.

Typical Badger; I'm sure mom's house payment surpassed NBA coin.

Looks like all 85 members of the Utah Football team got a truck as a part of their NIL program.

What's the rest of the story? Meaning are they having to do personal appearances for the auto dealership? I smell a tax audit.
