This is too big of a pond for VT right now.

Tech would fall into the next step down, maybe 2 steps down right now. Really where uva and Tech need to succeed in NIL is at the player retainment level. Reece Beekman is the perfect example. A guy who would be an nba draft pick last year in the second round got comparable money to come back. He still ended up in the same slot but uva would probably be a 10 win team without him. Same goes for Ryan Dunn - does he get something comparable to first year nba contract to come back? Remains to be seen. Uva and Tech with good nil isn’t going to get top 25 players. Sure it will get them into more recruiting battles but especially w uva, guys are gonna have to want to go to go uva and Tech, which is the case today. But they will be able to keep those 50-75 range players around for 3 or 4 years with solid nil programs. That’s where NIL will make a major difference for the two programs.

Does each school have only one collective now?
tallahasseehokie • 03/12/24 01:26 PM ET
No there are competing collectives and sometimes cooperative collectives...

Scroll down further and it says $1 million *per team*

It’s a blatantly unfair recruiting advantage. Just talking about it is

What if they decide to hold that tournament at the end of March?

Yep, hypothetical. I could see $$$ making teams skip the tourney to keep

Yeah, I saw they were talking about it.

Not much the NCAA can do, the courts rule against them at every turn...

Accept their fate.

Talk about a big built in recruiting advantage.

Perhaps too big, as in antitrust lawsuits coming from
NC Hoke • 03/11/24 02:33 PM ET
Would be an interesting conversation about how the money is divided up
atlhokie1 • 03/11/24 12:22 PM ET
From the schools listed, it doesn’t seem it will boost that many.

I think the pond “on high” is in your imagination.
