This thread is completely schizophrenic. It starts with Dmoney telling us that UM gave its best shot but Cantwell isn’t coming.

By page 8, just a few hours later, people are predicting him to UM.

Not to mention, Cantwell started off as the #1 player in the country in this thread.

And now we allow wait until 3:45 pm for the newly minted #10 player in the country.

Don't forget that I logged in a ball for Norvell.

I can understand your feelings as the sports has been turned upside down in a span of 3-4 years after 100 years of stability. But the stability itself was unfair to the players, so something had to change. And the NC2A prevented that change because the member institutions and coaches wanted all the money.

So now we have opened Pandora’s box. It is fair for you to be uncomfortable with the current and likely future state of the sport.
BUT, as a UM fan, I hope you understand that the university is playing by the new rules and has since day 1 of the NIL era. And there is no payoff in not doing it. We aren’t winning any fans by refusing to partake in the NIL era rules.

One last thing. Never forget the young tennis players have been making millions of dollars by the time they turned 18, often based on potential. No one cared then and no one does now.

The difference was they were professionals and not going to college

UNC girl few years ago won few matches at the US Open and couldn't accept it because she still wanted to be eligible

TrumpyCane thinks its a bit of a difference

It’s as though 247 wants us to know that rankings are rigged and determined as much by where a player goes to school as by actual evaluation of the player.
Gaby is basically saying, we know Cantwell is still really, really good, but we have to reserve the top spot for a player at an SEC or Big 10 school.

Credibility out the door for 247 just that quickly. Amazing.

Wonder what role Drew played in this. Does he have a relationship with Mario? This could have all been a ploy to drive up the $.

I agree about the difference between pro and college athlete. I’m just saying that teens have been paid for sports performances for many years.
And I also see some problems in the NIL system, but much like capitalism and democracy, they aren’t perfect but they are the best we have to this point in history.

I see that one. I choose to ignore that zero.
