Struggling...these folks don't even know what that means.

If your family is struggling you'll take either one because both offers are better than your current situation.

Real Talk!!

My wife would make sure they never found my body if I turned down half a million dollars to take 50k from someone I liked slightly more than the guy offering the half million. That's paying off our cars vs. paying off our mortgage and putting our kids through college.

DeMarcus Cousins did a podcast recently.

He had a talk with cal about his nba future when he was still at Kentucky. Cal said "if you come back another year you will make my family rich" "if you go to the nba you will make your family rich"

The few good white players will always go to the same 5 basketball schools or whoever pays the most. This will be no different.

Nick Smith is the answer to that question- but I understand it was more like $750K than $500K. Until the NCAA, with some federal support against law suits, institutes salary caps and punishes schools for pay for play up front, rather than simple NIL opportunities as it was intended, it’s open season for cheating out there.

I worry about the reduced seating and would strongly prefer the arena to be 12-13k rather than 10k.

No. No they won't. They'll take the 500,000 every single time. No struggling family is turning down 10 times the amount of money.

Agree. Problem for Byrne is not 70 yr olds like me who have attended for years. It is the guy who wants to take some family to the game. I’m about as loyal as you can get about attending games, but I’m likely headed to Stub Hub too.

Joe Goodman is threatening us with an article tomorrow after receiving backlash from him telling someone to walk into oncoming traffic for calling him out on his reporting

Goodman should seek psychiatric help, not joking.
