Averages for transfers year before Nebraska:
I'm starting to believe Nebraska has plenty of resources. Plenty of below average resources.
It would be very interesting to know the answer to that question. I remember a quote from Fred talking about the reason Rollie decided to come to Lincoln was some family connection to the state of Nebraska. I don't think he came to UNL because of any large NIL amount. I have to think the NIL basketball budget for St. John's and Pettino is significant. Even more than Creighton's. Plus with Matty A.'s slinky recruiting methods we probably don't want to know how Smith ended up at St. John's.
The challenge is our resources compared to the resources of the rest the schools in the BIG conference. Drake has a terrific coach but he is competing in the Missouri Valley Conference.
Well in that case either win or just really really suck and soemd nothing. Get the fuvk in or get out.
I don't know particulars about what each player is making but they are getting big NIL hauls from donors. There was an article in sports illustrated about their NIL pot getting huge. They also just updated facilities, although I think that was mostly for football.
Creighton reportedly payed Kalkbrenner 1.6 million to return. Probably paid Pop Issacs and Jackson McAmdrew (HS player of year in Minnesota) a lot to come. I have a feeling Kalkbrenner got more $ alone than all of the Nebraska players got combined
I think you are exactly right. I don't think that UNL's total NIL bball pot equaled what Kalkbrenner received. Hopefully that will change in the near future.
You nailed it. Albaugh has stepped up big time the last few years for Iowa State and it's paid in spades. I wish Warren Buffet(or his daughter Susan) were die hard UNL basketball fans.
If Nebraska’s basketball NIL is really that pathetic, maybe a different collective is needed?
I think you underestimate the following the volleyball team has. And donors can earmark how the money is spent. If there donors want there to go to volleyball. Nothing the university can do about it.
Creighton earned the NIL. It’s had one of the best 4 year runs in all of college basketball going into this year. 4 NCAA tournament appearances with no one and done, 3 sweet 16, one elite 8, and the year they only made it to the round of 32 they went pound for pound with eventual Natty winner KU.
This this is correct whether you want to pay into 1890 or to the Huskers athletic fund.
I don't think Kalkbrenner is getting anywhere near $1.6 million. I would guess he is getting $500K to $750K. There were reports that other teams offered two to three times what Kalkbrenner got at Creighton but he wanted to stay at Creighton and with McDermott. Nobody was offering him $3.2 to $4.8 million.
I don’t disagree with the way it should be prioritized. I am basing my information off of a few donors and how they explained to me how it works. And they told me donors earmarked how they want that spent. And there are a lot of older financially well off women that follow the volleyball program and I assume a lot of donations for valloeyball come from that
Texas tech big NIL push came from 2 alumni who struck gold and sold their business first billions and told Tech NIL is on us .
I have a hard time believing this was “reported” anywhere. There is no way Kalk is being paid that much and there is no way that he gets more than the entire Nebraska program. Sounds like a sour grapes excuse to me.
