There's reason for everyone involved to inflate their numbers

Players obviously because it sets their market. Collectives because it can send articles to recruits "showing" the money they have available. The only people it doesn't benefit to inflate their numbers are national companies or businesses that are doing one-off deals on the side. And...surprise, surprise...we never hear any particulars on those deals...only speculation driven by collectives, spurned coaches looking to invigorate their fan base to donate and players who have zero interest in saying they're making much less than is reported

Not sure that is something you would want to put in a contract since NIL

Georgetown and Rutgers do not have $3.25 million in NIL...
GCHokie34 • 01/19/24 09:49 AM ET
If Rutgers' NIL fund had 3.25 million it would never get to the players.**

Georgetown isn't THAT far away from that and Rutgers is doing ok as well...

Sounds like you need a collective and an alumni base that will just pay

What about Miami?Wasn't Ruiz handing out 6 figures?$400K just to Pack,Wong
HokieBrazil • 01/19/24 01:15 PM ET
Sure!

I was told by a very good source that High Point has $2 million in NIL.

Not surprised, HPU's president is extremely well connected.

proudhokie2001 • 01/19/24 12:58 PM ET
You say "reportedly"
GCHokie34 • 01/19/24 01:04 PM ET
Incorrect, numbers came from actual people coaching actual players.
proudhokie2001 • 01/20/24 08:22 AM ET
I dont know
Vippie1 • 01/19/24 11:25 AM ET
I would be surprised if blue-blood basketball programs like UK or Duke
Zanderhokie • 01/19/24 11:31 AM ET
A dozen boosters giving $250k -$300k at UK
Vippie1 • 01/19/24 11:38 AM ET
The depth of the rosters at those places is overblown...
GCHokie34 • 01/19/24 12:57 PM ET
present some evidence that it is overblown? I think year to year its

Roster situation for next season
HokieHoopzThe2nd • 01/19/24 07:43 AM ET
Wessler wasn't supposed to be ready to play until next year
VT ChemE 1986 • 01/19/24 10:04 AM ET
He’s not gonna get minutes over Kidd and Kidd isn’t even that good…
HokieHoopzThe2nd • 01/19/24 10:08 AM ET
Kidd isn’t even that good? Wow. You just blew all your credibility.
YBYSAIAHokie • 01/19/24 10:33 AM ET
Have you seen him vs decent talent?**
marcbvtgm • 01/19/24 05:46 PM ET
Kidd is averaging 8 points per game over his last 5 ACC games. He scored 2
HokieHoopzThe2nd • 01/19/24 10:36 AM ET
You're cherry-picking your stats. Look at the whole body of work, son.
YBYSAIAHokie • 01/19/24 10:48 AM ET
He’s basically a mid-major all-conf center, but barely mid-pack P5.
marcbvtgm • 01/19/24 05:47 PM ET
performance against ACC tier (and NCAA tier) competition is what matters
ShockWaveVT • 01/19/24 11:05 AM ET
Win now / no development is not a sustainable model.**
TheFacts • 01/19/24 10:29 AM ET
That’s the only model available now in this era.
HokieHoopzThe2nd • 01/19/24 10:32 AM ET
The whole thing is a mess.....
2hhoop3 • 01/19/24 02:15 PM ET
just wait until the courts eliminate all transfer restrictions the NCAA has
ShockWaveVT • 01/19/24 11:06 AM ET
Wessler was brought in specifically on a 3 yr path.
VT ChemE 1986 • 01/19/24 10:12 AM ET
So, ummm, one minor issue there... ;)**
I love VT! • 04/21/24 05:34 PM ET
We’re going to try and retain everyone except maybe Camden if he graduates
soflahokie • 01/19/24 09:59 AM ET
Don't Poteat and Kidd have a COVID year if they want it?
YBYSAIAHokie • 01/19/24 10:38 AM ET
That is correct**
GCHokie34 • 01/19/24 11:10 AM ET
You can transfer twice now without sitting out a year
HokieHoopzThe2nd • 01/19/24 10:04 AM ET
Young's seat is room temp**
VT ChemE 1986 • 01/19/24 10:08 AM ET
It’s room temp now. If and when we fail to even make the NIT?
HokieHoopzThe2nd • 01/19/24 10:09 AM ET
Yeah, that's not true**
GCHokie34 • 01/19/24 11:11 AM ET
We will not make the NIT this year and that will have no impact on CMY
VT ChemE 1986 • 01/19/24 10:14 AM ET
You're forgetting Jones and Johnson...**
GCHokie34 • 01/19/24 09:50 AM ET
I don't know much about Johnson. What position will he play?
YBYSAIAHokie • 01/19/24 10:53 AM ET
Johnson is ideally a 4 that could eventually play on the wing...
GCHokie34 • 01/19/24 11:20 AM ET
honestly I would keep them all
grtmmt • 01/19/24 07:57 AM ET
We’d miss Collins. He’s a good player not a good shooter YET but a good
hokiepro • 01/19/24 07:53 AM ET
& we also miss Rodney Rice**
VTCC 65 • 01/19/24 12:51 PM ET
I think about Rice a lot - I know we don't/won't know all the ins and outs
hokiehill1117 • 01/19/24 03:10 PM ET
Collins will never be able to score consistently, but that's OK
VT ChemE 1986 • 01/19/24 10:10 AM ET
Him missing shot after shot has been a big reason we are where we are IMO**
HokieHoopzThe2nd • 01/19/24 08:04 AM ET
He doesn’t take that many**
hokiepro • 01/19/24 11:32 AM ET
MJ Collins is like this team's version of Bede
kingofcassell • 01/19/24 09:36 AM ET
funny you say that because I've had that thought before
chagerma • 01/19/24 12:33 PM ET
Collins is quicker and more explosive than Bede. Bede was....
vtbball80 • 01/19/24 12:30 PM ET
MJ and Pedulla are like polar opposite basketball players
Zanderhokie • 01/19/24 11:35 AM ET
I'd say Collins and Nickel are the polar opposites**
