I’d hate to see Cooley at GTown, but wouldn’t fault him for leveraging it for better whatever at PC.

As far as NIL goes, it’s way more than jersey sales. The big schools have these collectives paying kids hundreds of thousands of dollars just to sign. I’m sure you saw the high school QB who committed to Florida and then rescinded because of the $13 million dollar NIL deal. The monster programs (read football powers) have donor bases that can be used for hoops and it’s bound to have an impact sooner or later.

Big East is on par with P5 basketball budgets. There is no reason to think we won't be able to compete in NIL.

Very interesting list of Bball budgets. I have never seen that before. Very encouraging for the Big East.

I've said it before for Georgetown but a guy that I would consier for sure is Ron Hunter from Tulane. he has turned around that program. Just like he did Georgia State and IUPUI.

Almost 59-years-old and overweight.

Sean Miller was asked at his weekly coaches, radio show, how a school like Xavier will compete with NIL. He gave an absolutely great answer. Basically, he said you do what you’ve always done to attract kids to Xavier, you sell them on the history of the program, the NCAA appearances, facilities including the arena and weight room which are 2nd to none in the country, the history of developing players, several who have gone on to the NBA. You sell them on the size of the school and the chance that they will get an education and not be just a number like at the large state schools, but somebody that their professors will know. Plus, he said the reality is those kids looking for a huge payday we’re probably never going to Xavier anyway. He didn’t seem the least bit worried about NIL, and basically gave Souley Boum as an example that he was able to attract Xavier over many other “big-name” play programs.

And a damn good basketball coach. Something Georgetown desperately needs right now.

Great answer from Miller, thanks. We do have a special niche in the BE which is appealing to enough talented players.

Hunter would be a great choice. I never thought anyone could make Tulane competitive. Also, oof, Jasper thinks someone in their 50's is too old... gonna make me depressed today, lol.
