What’s the difference between being a pro in the G League and one in a European league?

If we’re allowing the former, I have no problem with the latter.

I am interested in how long it’ll take someone to try leave the NBA to play in college.

I mean didn't Cooper Flagg take a pay cut to play in the NBA? Or maybe's he's making even more endorsement money but still.

College sports are sooooooo broken

Flagg is making nearly $14mil this year from the Mavs, no way that’s a pay cut.

But if you’re an NBA player with only a few years experience on the vet minimum, I’d bet you can make more in college. I just wonder who’ll be the first to actually try it.

I thought I heard with his NIL and corporate stuff he was in the 20s last year?

I'm gonna be pretty psyched when Hubert tears off his jacket and pants to reveal a uniform and puts himself in the game this year

I think 20-something million was the total value of the deals he'd signed last year, but many were multiyear deals and most of the money is for future years.

IIRC, he made $6m in "realized" money during his year at dook (and most of that was outside endorsements and not from dook directly).

Ah ok

You see how closely I follow the money insanity these days
 
I cannot stand Jay Bilas.

Nobody thinks Wemby, Giannis, LeBron etc are ACTUALLY gonna want to play college ball. People were just using them as examples to point out the absurdity of the current landscape of college sports. It is truly the wild west. Acknowledging that doesn't mean that you're against players being taken care of in some capacity, just that the current system is broken.
 
Maybe we should get rid of college basketball, baseball and football, and just have minor league teams for those who aren't jumping pro from high school. Have the major league draft, and if you don't get drafted then you can enter the minor league draft.

I’m still watching, but at this point, if we ended revenue college sports as we know them, I wouldn’t be bothered. Let all the players who are serious about playing professionally/getting paid to play go to professional leagues. Let all the players who want to go to college apply to college just like everyone else. Anyone in college who wants to play on their college team can try out for the team the summer before the school year starts.

I am with you. It's just not what it should be anymore.
