"College" sports is dead. Time for the NCAA to disband, for G League to expand, for colleges to decide the model that they want to play in. It will be interesting to see how it all shakes out. But college basketball is dying.

"NIL agents".

So done. I would far rather spend my saturdays skiing and my Thursdays driving to said resort.

BTW - the joke of this is that it makes no (little?) sense for a company like LifeWallet to have college kids promoting it. Tom Sellek? Sure. But the idea that someone who needs/wants to have their medical records quickly accessible on a smart phone (aka boomer and older) is going to care about the endorsement of a 19 year old is laughable. Ruiz knows that as well. He just is deciding where to spend his fun money - buying Miami an elite 8 trip.
