Basketball culture in the US is rotten to the core, which is why...

Basically these coaches are saying "if we can't control them, we don't want
39hokies • 10/18/24 09:04 PM ET
They aren’t coachable anymore. **
ModerateHokie • 10/18/24 09:16 PM ET
Defeatist attitude. A person who thinks this way has no business coaching. **
39hokies • 10/18/24 10:17 PM ET
That's why he quit. **

Anyone know how UVAs bball NIL compared to others? That is was
GBOHokie • 10/18/24 07:19 PM ET
As I heard from a VT staffer, its rediculous. 3 star players are demanding
UTPr0sim • 10/18/24 09:06 PM ET
Uva is in the 15-20 range nationally.

Sounds more like George Carlin!!!!!**

Sincerely, the NCAA**
GCHokie34 • 10/18/24 08:10 PM ET
Completely disagree with this anti-capitalism/anti-free market take
Scream_On_D • 10/18/24 04:27 PM ET
Absolutely wrong on many accounts, holier than thou....
Bon Air Hokie • 11/03/24 09:36 PM ET
But the product is getting worse. Why would anyone continue to pay for it**
ModerateHokie • 10/18/24 06:51 PM ET
There is one thing that college athletes are not... they are not employees
HokieAl • 10/18/24 05:04 PM ET
The athletes aren't against structure...
GCHokie34 • 10/18/24 07:17 PM ET
It’s ESPN, not the schools
sokohokie • 10/19/24 10:29 AM ET
Athletic departments are designed to use all the money. Showing in the red
NokieHokie • 10/19/24 11:03 AM ET
Its called cost disease theory, aka competitive spending and debt**
HokieRat • 10/19/24 01:25 PM ET
Most governmental entities work that way.**
saret • 10/19/24 11:50 AM ET
I have no ire or crosshairs towards athletes
HokieAl • 10/18/24 07:30 PM ET
Agreed...
GCHokie34 • 10/18/24 07:38 PM ET
Not legally... But in every other sense of the word, they are.**
NokieHokie • 10/18/24 06:01 PM ET
The literal legal aspect is what matters and for now they are not employees**
HokieAl • 10/18/24 06:51 PM ET
Right. My point is they should be employees.**
NokieHokie • 10/19/24 12:00 AM ET
This^**
Scream_On_D • 10/18/24 06:28 PM ET
Yep. We are talking about billions of dollars in the industry. Television
Femoyer Hokie • 10/18/24 04:49 PM ET
"as long as people enjoy watching sports" is the key
Pylons • 10/18/24 04:45 PM ET
How many people stopped watching the NFL because of Kaepernick? My guess is
NokieHokie • 10/18/24 06:02 PM ET
Probably true. And also has nothing to do
Pylons • 10/18/24 06:06 PM ET
It has everything to do with people saying they'll stop watching and don't.**
NokieHokie • 10/19/24 12:01 AM ET
Yes
Pylons • 10/19/24 12:29 AM ET
It is the same ss fans threatening to stop watch then don't. The specific
NokieHokie • 10/19/24 12:34 AM ET
Got it. 🤣🤣🤣**
Pylons • 10/19/24 12:37 AM ET
It really isnt...
GCHokie34 • 10/18/24 04:59 PM ET
We'll see what the women's final 4 does without Caitlin Clark
Pylons • 10/18/24 05:32 PM ET
Facts have a strange way of uncovering B.S. Well done!!**
Hokeedokee • 10/19/24 10:15 AM ET
Don't bother, he wont admit he's wrong**
HokieRat • 10/18/24 08:50 PM ET
Additionally, the last couple years of men's final 4's
Pylons • 10/18/24 05:44 PM ET
There was a RISE in viewership for all of March Madness in 2024
GCHokie34 • 10/18/24 05:56 PM ET
Viewership of men's march madness has been flat for a decade
Pylons • 10/18/24 06:02 PM ET
Women's was not included in that increase...
GCHokie34 • 10/18/24 06:06 PM ET
Now do the Semi-final games... ◄
GCHokie34 • 10/18/24 05:39 PM ET
The top 10 come from these years:
Pylons • 10/18/24 05:57 PM ET
Ahhh you're skating around it...
GCHokie34 • 10/18/24 06:05 PM ET
And significantly less watched than 2015
Pylons • 10/18/24 06:17 PM ET
What does 2015 matter?
GCHokie34 • 10/18/24 06:21 PM ET
The TREND matters. Why does 2024 matter more than the 10 year trend?
Hokeedokee • 10/19/24 10:21 AM ET
If the trend shows a decrease in viewership from 2015 to 2021
GCHokie34 • 10/19/24 10:44 AM ET
Because it's history from only decade ago
Pylons • 10/18/24 06:32 PM ET
Then by your own admission...
GCHokie34 • 10/18/24 06:40 PM ET
Show me the growth in the NIL era that's not just "2024 was great"**
Pylons • 10/18/24 06:51 PM ET
Here is the total viewership from the last 3 CFP for all 3 games...
GCHokie34 • 10/18/24 09:59 PM ET
Thanks.
Pylons • 10/18/24 10:28 PM ET
Whatever we want to give reason for the increase...

Players have made more than coaches in the NBA for 50 years...
GCHokie34 • 10/18/24 02:13 PM ET
Not the same thing.
Bon Air Hokie • 11/03/24 09:27 PM ET
sales reps often make more than sales managers. Plenty of other examples.**
reestuart • 10/18/24 02:23 PM ET
Very true**
