Future Rosters

[peavy]

Here is my perspective on this deal. Not calling anyone out, not trying to float my boat. JMO. My extended family has a big plaque on the wall at the Dana. I do not personally. My family (my own) has our name on the wall at First Bank. I am a member of the second to the top tier of donors annually (champions?). I enjoy supporting SDSU, 100%. But if it comes to another “we need money for NIL”, I’m out. It feels like an uphill battle we won’t win. JMO.

That's on me for my crude way of phrasing things in both threads. From the football perspective, I read the posts on bisonville about how excited those guys are for the next collective event based on how that's being handled. From the men's basketball perspective, today I read about a program like Kent State maybe being able to (temporarily?) hold off Fordham from taking their coach through a donation surge / counter-offer. From the wbb perspective, I was on a twitter space 2 days ago where the Ole Miss HC (her team is still playing) was talking about revenue sharing

SDSU is never going to win NIL bidding wars.

Donor money is better spent on facilities, coaches, and other resources.

I agree with this. We still have quite a ways to go to finish the arena fundraising and personally I'd like to see other facilities and investments (Alston Scholarships). Lets be the best SDSU and not try to play the NIL game that we can't win. Players can still get deals like Grand Falls, BWW that are mentioned here.

I brought up mobilizing the donors in the other thread. I'm not sure if they can stop that one, but I'd hope that they could stop this one. Men's side has been hit by the portal before / dealt with the coaching changes. If the women's team is the last innocent thing or the crown jewel, time to pony up and really support the program.

Yes, money is a factor.

Meyer has a large NIL deal with Grand Falls.

Timmer only had small stuff with BWW and such. She will get $50-100K from a high major.

Really? She's been a great player for us but $100k at a high major. There must be way more money out there than I think if this happens.

guess she did not want to follow the Mesa Byom example. I feel like Jenna would have had a big opportunity next year, and it only gets bigger if Timmie ends up gone.

Hopp always played hard, but to me she seemed too small to play forward, and didn't have the offensive game to play on the perimeter. Good player to have available off the bench, but can't blame her for wanting to go somewhere where she can get more minutes.

Mesa also was finishing her nursing clinicals among the activities of basketball. Timmie would be doing a masters in some math field which is likely easier to assemble elsewhere. It is tough to watch a talent like Timmie bolt.

Hopp also in the portal. Guess we will have room to bring in transfers.

You don't have to win the war, you just have to have something. Haven't we heard of players staying here and leaving more on the table? Is Kobe Clayborne the most recent example of this?
As an example, $10k from SDSU versus $40k from a bubble Iowa State team? They still gotta pay Crooks, Addy Brown, 9 other players, plus a incoming recruiting class

Wonder if the university has explored Alston payments. Haven't checked how that's impacted by house settlement

If that dollar range is accurate SDSU WBB’s immunity to the sh*tty chaos of modern sports won’t hold out much longer. Damn.

Yeah, I've heard the Grand Falls stuff, they started airing them with the jackrabbit sports network radio stuff.

Part of me is just very frustrated that the athletes are not having more opportunities in the SD region. I'm out of state, so I just see what's on twitter, and I saw the BWW stuff. Got a coach who has been likened to Geno and Mark Few and the team the women's version of Gonzaga (minus some of the extra tourney wins).

Am i naïve to think with the right person placing the right phone calls (whether it's to companies or big donors), SDSU (or the SDSU Learfield people) could throw together something? I imagine it could still be done in the way Justin Sell was talking about it. People here were talking about Mayo / mayonnaise stuff. How did that not happen?

re: high major. There's only so much $$ to go around with revenue sharing at the women's level. 900k might be about average (split between 15 players?) for p5s. Wisonsin might be less outside NIL still going to happen and now reintroduction of under the table $$

[salemjack]

Am I allowed to ask if you're under the impression there's a $$ component to the Timmer situation? I'll ask this on the burner discord too

Many reasons for leaving as mentioned. Education, a NCAA title, change of scenery, different role, more exposure (if WNBA plans with expansion), etc

Good news: Meyer is not entering the portal.
