I agree that the strategy and decision making are worse than the resource

constraint. I don't doubt that we are out-funded by other schools, but we just make SO MANY terrible decisions. Stupid roster decisions with all the RBs when Fuente was here. Stacking this team with receivers when the QB's strength isn't downfield passing. Using the wrong players. Putting double unis on the field. The WORST clock management in D1. Overpaying for unproven assistants. Jumping the trigger and giving them extensions after a mediocre 7-6 year. There is some old basketball coach that has a network and can find gems. Either that our build an in-house recruiting and evaluation team (that Whit certainly can't do). Why did Hysier Miller end up here? Most likely because we don't know what the hell we're doing. Savvy coaches probably knew he might be trouble so he fell to us. It is hard to overstate just how bad our internal operations suck. That's what it looks like to me. That is even worse than the money situation. Just a dumbass fire drill operation. The one we keep seeing over ... and over. ** Edited by TDVick at 11/22/2024, 1:37:41 PM

Will any idea what kind of NIL money we had for bball**

I believe the number is a little less than a million, which just won’t cut
jfrance41 11/22/24 12:40 AM ET
That’s just ridiculous.

Not sure anyone is forcing you to pay

The 2022 football coach bidding war and last season's college basketball

Our strategy on funding bball NIL amounted to throwing good money after bad

Things would be lots better if Miller wasn't a crook and Drones was a QB
N2VT2 11/22/24 07:17 PM ET
I hear ya, but aren’t we paying people a lot of money to figure that out?
Zanderhokie 11/22/24 11:44 PM ET
Non revenue 'Big Boys'?

Maybe WB knows he can't spend enough to make a difference in FB MBB.
40ozDistrict 11/22/24 08:35 AM ET
Agreed. It's becoming increasingly obvious we'll never have enough $$$
Zanderhokie 11/22/24 12:01 PM ET
How is this not obvious to WB? I'm baffled how slow those folks minds work.**

Mr. Zander, let's hope that is done by a new AD!!**
ancient alien 2018 11/22/24 08:43 PM ET
It’s kinda looking that way
Zanderhokie 11/22/24 11:31 PM ET
Agreed 100%. Hop he goes out gracefully!!**

Whatever the amount, we might as well

ancient alien 2018 11/22/24 01:15 PM ET
That is basically my point. All these other schools in the ACC field more
TDVick 11/22/24 09:31 AM ET
Honestly, a lack of NIL explains losing to Jacksonville?
Pride_and_Joy 11/22/24 10:22 AM ET
Good point. I'm a dummy but I hear MY needs to keep kids in his program

I'm glad to see they've got one of MV2's running buddies involved, plus
