NCAA Settlement to Watch - Schools Pay Players

S
Saw this on ESPN and it looks like in as soon as next year - schools will have the ability to pay players directly, with this article estimating that there will be a cap in place and estimate it starting at 20 million dollars.

Landmark college settlement gets preliminary OK

A judge granted preliminary approval to the landmark $2.78 billion legal settlement that would transform college sports by allowing schools to pay players.
www.espn.com www.espn.com

I think the effects of this will only widen the gap between the power conferences and everyone else. Those power conferences already control the transfer portal because they have the NIL and collective money to buy all the players they want, now if the NCAA gives them the ability to pay the players themselves as well - they will also benefit and this just adds to the amount of money available for them to hand out. Obviously - this initial impact will be hard on football and basketball.

Something to keep a close eye on.

JOC piece on Burton...roughly halfway through a 4-month rehab for a knee injury, spending a lot of time attending practices and talking with the guys. Mooney admits he was hurt by Burton's decision to leave, but that's the current landscape of things.

Former Spiders' star Tyler Burton: you can go home (to UR) again

Former Spiders star Tyler Burton, after a post-grad season at Villanova, is back at the University of Richmond, rehabbing an injured knee, helping area kids with hoops.

Burton leaving was one of the biggest gifts Mooney could have received. He would have built last year's team around Burton and with him leaving, he was able to reconstruct, build it around King and win the A-10.

Wow. So what our Ed and Odom doing that Mooney and Hardt are not? We pay Mooney to be the top dollar coach in the league and this is what we get in terms of a schedule. It is embarrassing and truly pathetic.

You think VCU is gonna be able to entice recruits by the strength of those 2 MTE's over the next 2 years, you betcha that is part of their pitch. You would think this back to back MTE coups by VCU would set up some high level meetings with Mooney, Hardt, and high $$$ NIL guys, but we all know it won't. Business as usual always at the Robins Centers. Hopefully, they didn't misspell anything during A-10 media day yesterday, that is our bar for success. And hell, if we did, no one would be help responsible anyway.

Agree 97, we did well in the portal this offseason, but seems like asleep at the wheel in other aspects of the program. Hardt came in as the Big power conference connected AD, but instead we get nothing out of those connections. Mooney should be astute enough to see this picture, and be doing everything he can to drive the bus, but instead who the hell knows?

I like Walz a lot. That said, I was still hoping that Beagle would come in and be the clear number 1, as that would mean, that he is really good. That does not appear to be the case.

It is the same thing if Roche starts at the 3, over literally anyone else (GW, Descan, Tanner, frosh, AP). If Roche is our best option at the 3, than our preseason number 7 is probably a bit high.

That being said, I think the Walz/Beagle combo will increase Quinn's offensive numbers.... If we can get them up to the 16 PPG range, that helps carve out some of the missing Jordan 19 PPG.

Not really because the Quinn/Walz combo was already in the 16 range at 15.3 combined. They’ll have to be higher to pick up Jordan missing ppg.

Depends on how many minutes he gets.

Respectfully, your math isn't working here. quinn averaged 28 minutes a game, with last year's version of Walz has his back up. If you assume that Walz starts, his back-up Beagle, is significantly better than last year's version of Walz, I assume you would agree with that. if that is the case, there is no way that Beagle will only play 12 minutes,and despite the fact that I am a big Walz fan, there is no chance he is going to AVG the numbers that Neal did last year. That being said, I think the Walz/Beagle combo will increase Quinn's offensive numbers.... If we can get them up to the 16 PPG range, that helps carve out some of the missing Jordan 19 PPG.

Quinn gave us a good two years, but IMO Walz can be better, not just b/c of physicality - but just being more decisive. It was mentioned they gave him that foul line jumper in the scrimmage and he just turned around and shot it. Quinn would drive me absolutely mad by either A) not looking at the basket or B) looking at a wide open 12 footer and trying to make it a contested 8 foot push shot. I think Walz has more confidence to shoot the ball then Quinn. Whether that translates into consistent scorer or not is to be seen.
Going into my write up on Walz, had the same concern as Philly about Walz' fouls, b/c it did seem to me he picked them up pretty rapidly. But he only averaged 4 fouls per 40 minutes. It sounds like the plan will be to turn both Beagle and Walz loose a bit on the boards, so he may fould at a higher rate, but have a good tandem so not that much of a concern.

12 points 4 assists and 5 rebounds.. Zero chance that walz gets to those numbers
