I made it less than five minutes before turning it off. This is as much an indictment of my lack of interest in "video podcasts" as anything else. I don't need to see people talking when it adds nothing to the information I'm getting. Someone let me know if they talked about VCU.

It’s like he does not know you can surf or do what you do with an audio only podcast. Just minimize the screen or open another one or just listen. Ha!Podcast snob.

I’ll own that, and the fact that I’m a grumpy old man. Excuse me now … there are some kids playing in my yard and I must yell at them.Podcast snob.

Don't know the exact Numbers.... but I think Hason Ward was a similar situation.

If they are paying sophomore Luke $2 mill this year, they aren't going to get their money's worth IMO
Hasaam didnt have nearly the numbers but he was early. However, you are 100% correct same situation. If we can remember The Bahamas had been hit with a massive hurricane and his family had been displaced. Simply put he needed the money. We weren’t going to give him that much.
I heard his numbers were around 150 per year. Which was a lot back then. (Only years ago. My have times changed).
As I have stated, over and over it sucks for the programs. However, for the players it’s great and you really cant blame them.
FWIW, I’d take a role at TTU vs being the man at GCU money or not. The upside is to great.
Wow. There is no way you can make that valuation unless you are on the TTU staff.

I would agree, but not sure that is the over riding concern right now. It's not their (the programs) money and they, at least right now, are not being held accountable for an ROI. Now, it will get to that point as soon as some of this burns itself out, but for now, "let's just throw money at it" seems to be the prevailing sentiment. I don't blame the players one bit for gettin while the gettin is good. When the NCAA breaks apart it will really get interesting.
