True

But not relevant

It's the world we live in now.

If the new AD wants to be taken seriously.

Quote:"That candidate will share our vision of a program that centers on the development of the student-athlete, energizes the community in support of our team, and competes at a championship level. Bronco men's basketball is uniquely situated to fulfill that vision, and I look forward to the program's future."

It's clear what needs to be done.

For basketball, and ALL WMU sports.

"Tweets" ain't it.

What is his vision?

What is he doing with NIL "to compete at a championship level"?

According to this the State of Michigan will allow MAC schools EMU CMU WMU to participate after
Dec 31,2022. If someone has an update please post

Interesting.

But not very clear to me.

The bill does not single out MAC schools.

And these links (collected after doing a cursory search) seem to be at odds with it.

Again.

What is the new AD doing to (at best) innovate, or (at worst) keep up with others?

Has anyone heard a single thing from him?

What does NIL have to with "Facilities"?

You want to get players?

You want to keep players?

You want to "compete for championships"?

"Facilities"

Rhetoric?

If not.

Start walking the walk.

I started a “NIL” thread on Football.

Thought topic deserved its own thread

ess-

Can you just tell me what minute for me to watch that relates to "facilities"?

I really don't wanna watch a 41 min video to find this out.

Wichita State fires AD for not keeping up with developing NIL.

Apparently a school/program that is serious about "competing at a championship level".

I watched most. Did skip through several spots. Not to be harsh but I found the topic, the buzz about the topic and the commentators inane.

To answer the question I didn't hear a direct answer but since we are now directly and up front in pay for play does a kid really care about facilities?

Show me the money. Done! Good night Irene!

Shows you are serious about stuff when you invest in it.

Otherwise it’s just talk. Like the old sayings.

Talk is cheap. Pay up or shut up. Money talks, bull**** walks. Etc.

Back in the early NIL days.

Fair question.

See NIL thread on Football forum regarding new NCAA statement, Boosters & NIL

this has been a program without a clear identity for decades. Even when Hawk was winning, there was no draw to the program.
