You mean to tell me...

That basketball programs out there are throwing out 1st round NBA money... And not only are they throwing out 1st round NBA money, they're actively choosing not to give that money to 1st round NBA talent to keep them in college, but rather chase the 3rd best player on Maryland? Like...that's something you can think about and get your head around?

GCHokie34 • 04/24/25 06:09 PM ET
Understand what you’re saying but don’t discount old school cheating
marcbvtgm • 04/26/25 12:56 PM ET
Ok...but why?
GCHokie34 • 04/26/25 01:39 PM ET
Taxes?**
marcbvtgm • 04/28/25 10:44 AM ET
Do it through a donation to the school and it's a tax write off
GCHokie34 • 04/28/25 01:02 PM ET
Ain't it the truth (esp last sentence)**
YBYSAIAHokie • 04/24/25 07:45 PM ET
Thank you GCHokie for the detailed response
HokieKoch • 04/24/25 07:20 PM ET
May not be true... or perhaps it's over multiple years and other incentives
mwke • 04/23/25 04:42 PM ET
They're quoting Matt Norlander as the whole basis for this...
GCHokie34 • 04/23/25 09:22 PM ET
People believing anything they read on the internet, that's crazy talk. :)**

With the stuff being thrown.......
2hhoop3 • 04/23/25 07:36 PM ET
I would imagine he’s well over 1 million, that’s the range for a starting
jfrance41 • 04/23/25 03:43 PM ET
He is absolutely well over 1 MM for next season

Prices have nearly doubled**
jfrance41 • 04/23/25 08:22 PM ET
There was never a time when Rodney Rice was going to be offered 1.5 mil
GCHokie34 • 04/23/25 09:26 PM ET
