This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Big schools with large fan bases and merch sales possess by nd71

an inherent recruiting advantage due to the increased earnings potential for the recruit v-v-v NIL and joint merch sales profits. The bigger your eventual school's addressable market over a four year career with a successful high vis program (assuming you become a star or multi year starter), the bigger your projected profits rise year over year, year after year.


Now this mostly only applies to the top 50 or 100 or so players each year, but as we have noted their ever more successful recruitment is a significant differentiator for a program's future talent gathering and NC winning odds.


Or so it would seem.
