re: NIL in basketball…Is college basketball ruined?

Kentucky reportedly spent $2,000,000 to keep Tshirbwa.

Kentucky didn't use that to lure him to Kentucky. He earned that with a NPOY performance last year. I'm sure guys like UNC's Bacot will sign similar deals.

The top basketball recruits are getting massive deals.

This is no different then pre-NIL. It's just now out in the open.

Anyone worried that this kills college basketball?

Nope. Case in point, when SDSU transfer Baylor Scheierman was demanding X money to play at a major school (and we were all recruiting him), the big schools said frick that and backed out. He ended up at Creighton as a result. That's how you shut that shite down.
