re: #tAuburnBasketball Thread

I don’t have it either. Hoke posted about it on On3.

All I know as far as rankings go is the top 10:
No. 1 Duke
No. 2 Gonzaga
No. 4 UCLA
No. 5 Tennessee
No. 6 Memphis
No. 7 Kentucky
No. 8 Alabama
No. 9 Baylor
No. 10 Michigan

Many schools are way ahead of us in the NIL game:

Alabama - we don’t really need to discuss this. I read that BMiller is basically a millionaire now (nothing official just message board talk)
Arkansas - they currently have 300 athletes signed to NIL now and probably the most advanced system in place. Nick Smith most likely already sorting offers.
UVA - they also have a noteworthy NIL system in place since summer (they basically have an All-Star Swimming team with U.S. Olympians that is even more talented than Stanford). I am sure they also use NIL to lure Basketball talent (London Johnson).
Washington - they recently announced a new independent NIL agency/company consulted by Petersen and backed by Amazon, Microsoft, Costco, and Alaska Airlines
LSU - there is a new agency located in Baton Rouge specializing in NIL and Women’s sports (they currently have two 5-star gymnasts committed including the “next Suni Lee”).

I don’t really research this stuff actively. I am sure there are many more examples.

UConn has
absolutely killed every team they've faced

Wish I understood how it worked and why we suck at it

We are also working on sth now but we are simply lagging behind. Some school have first-mover advantage and as mentioned states have different laws. Hopefully we can catch up.

Most information on NIL can be found on Swimming and Gymnastics boards but concepts apply to the entire athletic departments.

This article explains how Arkansas became the leading NIL player:

UVA fans talk a lot about NIL. Tons of threads, details, and insights on their 247 board.

This is UNC related: On Thursday evening, the 247Sports Composite’s No. 1 offensive tackle Zach Rice announced his commitment to North Carolina.

UNC 5-Star commit:
"I know I’m going to be taken care of and I know with this new NIL stuff, especially North Carolina I can very much succeed."

Speaking of Auburn Rivals FYI:

We are holding the FIRST OFFICIAL BUNKER BOURBON EVENT on Monday, December 6, 2021.

We will begin at 6 p.m. We will leave when everyone wants to leave.

We will convene at The Tipping Point in Montgomery, Ala.

The bar will be ours; nobody else will be in there.

The event will include five pours of five different expressions for each attendee. The pours will include Baker's and Blanton's. Three more will be revealed at a later date.

Does anybody know how to seamlessly integrate Auburn’s basketball schedule into my IOS IPhone Calendar?

---

Men's Basketball schedule

Go to that link on your phone - click Add to calendar, choose apple, hit subscribe and then choose which (if you have more than one) calendar it will go to and click add all. (or click add all before choosing the calendar it goes to)

So game tonight is solely through ESPN+ ?

Are we ever gonna have a game on a regular channel?

Very excited to watch some holiday hoops next week. Glad we are in the thick of it
