Try 20K.  From what I've read, NIL doesn't operate on a continuum.  The stars and 4 star recruits make $100K and up.  The bench players, especially at the mid-major level, get peanuts.

I think it's intentional.  The P5 boosters are trying to price everybody else out of the market.

If Chris May sticks around, new SLU fans will know him as the AD in Golden age of SLU sports, where all the major sports teams were winning.  Meanwhile in MBM land we will still be talking about his social media failures and overpaying Travis Ford.  We will become the grumpy old men.  It is our destiny.

"You can be demanding without being demeaning." I understand Schertz has great respect for Majerus's basketball mind but he has a very different outlook on how to get the most out of players.  It more closely aligns with my own point of view.

I've been saying that for years.  We've got about 30 years of evidence that demonstrates the old boy network runs the show regardless of who the AD is.

Ezewiro, a guy who couldn't get off the bench for a bad P6 team, averaged 12 and 6 for an equally bad Billikens team.  This isn't a sexy example, but it's fairly typical.
The co-player of the year in the A10 is Richmond's Jordan King, an all-conference player who transferred from another mid-major.  Same with second-teamer Keyshawn Hall from George Mason. That's also fairly typical.
Matt Cross was a role player at his previous P6 stops.  He was a first-teamer at UMass.  Nate Santos couldn't get off the bench at Pitt.  He was a second-teamer at Dayton.  And so on.

So he's a lifelong criminal for basically doing what blue blood college basketball programs have done for decades but at a much smaller scale.  And he's a criminal to this day at 75 years old but he has a sweetheart deal with the Feds to keep him out jail.  Got it.

They certainly live a modest lifestyle considering they are crime kingpins.  I don't think the average De Smet graduate would trade places with them.

Charleston is very fortunate to be a 1 hr flight away from Mack's new base of operations in Florida.  He's at the point of his career where he never has to move again.  He can just take the highest paying nearby job.

Vice wanted to take a shot at making the rotation for a top 15 team.  He wasn't quite good enough so he took a redshirt year.  Now he enters the portal with all four years of eligibility.  I don't see the downside here.

Wiz, we were having a discussion about what Schertz would have done with this year's team.  We know how good his current core is.  They're in the NIT final four right now.  
If Schertz brings his top three guys with him, all he would need from the portal is a couple of role players.

System coaches need the right personnel to run their system.  That's why Majerus couldn't win here until he had his guys in place.  Schertz runs his offense through the 5.  Not only did we not have a 5 that is a high level shooter and passer, the rest of the team was the worst collection of passers in decades.

Coaches who yell and win get a pass.  Coaches who yell and lose get trashed for yelling as if the yelling is why they're losing.

Outstanding job by the agent to dominate the Louisville sports news cycle with two of his clients.  

Somebody has to come off the bench and play defense.  Schertz's squad has everything else.

"Defensively, Deang has contributed a team-leading 30 blocks with 33 steals as well."

While we are speculating, it could be that Schert has come to an agreement with SLU,  but doesn't want it announced until after the last home game. It makes sense that he wants the last home game without distraction. At the same time, he knows that extending the announcement hurts his new job.

That's pretty much the profile of every coach being brought up for an open coaching position.  The proverbial home run hire doesn't exist for Louisville in this hiring cycle.  Sure there's Chris Mack but Louisville already fired him.

It's most likely just giving students a heads up who could be headed home early for Easter
