The money thing

[40bill]

Lotta folks were crowing not too long ago about Kentucky being the NIL big boy. Yeah
they were.
Now that's turned into an albatross.
look, I don't really know how much money got spent.
maybe it was 22 million. Maybe less. Maybe MORE.
Fact is there's a Lotta money in college basketball. Fact is we expect a big return from whatever was spent.
Fact is we ain't getting it so far, and it's gonna take a monster change.

It ain't all the money.

This team needs a heart transplant.

I'd be just as upset if they weren't being paid. I didn't give them a dime. Money doesn't factor into the situation for me.

I don't know what the problem is but this is NOT Kentucky Basketball they are playing right now.

I've read alot of statements about NIL corrupting teams. Not sure I buy it. Michigan paying a ton of NIL but playing like gangbusters. Ot seems to me that regardless of money performance will always boil down to drive and character. Our team seems to have a few guys deficient in both. Im not sure how you fix that this year. I do know that if Pope gets a 3rd year( and I think he should) he better make better decisions about who he brings in here than he did this year. If he doesn't it will definitely be his last.
