Can a collective include tenure (for lack of a better word) phrasing into their NIL contracts?

i.e. Crossroads of champions agrees to pay $35K/year for the '24-'25, '25-'26 seasons guaranteed. Should athlete transfer to a separate institution during this period, the athlete agrees to pay back 10% of all future NIL earnings during their remaining years of eligibility.

We'd have to have a better developed NIL war chest along with other institutions willingness to adopt similar phrasing... If it were to hold up legally; it could allow for smaller institutions like ISU to target recruits earlier in the process while simultaneously gaining back leverage from the wild west of transfers that has been created.

isn't 15% the standard for a finders fee?

How about 15% finders fee up front and 0.5% annually for ANY MBB related earnings until Social Security age??

that would be awesome. we wouldnt have to worry about paying any NIL with all the players never coming here.
 
Kareem Richardson is interesting. Been at ISU twice, coached at Clemson, NC State, Drake (I think) and Louisville. Head coach at UMKC for 6 years with mixed results (at best). But seriously now could you really be successful there?
 
The status of MVC basketball is that you basically have one chance to do something special in a one bid league before all your players get poached. What a $*** $how college basketball has become.

neither are my list (and I don't have a list) and I don't want either

BUT between those two.... thinking the middling, ~.500 candidate has it on the "legend"

I will take Graves over Richardson 10 times.

Only 10?

Do you all realize how terrible Richardson was as a head coach? Are we also oblivious to the fact the entire NC State coaching staff was one loss away from being fired just a month ago?

(Not directed at you, Blue Streaker. You obviously get it.)

75–118 (38.9) Richardson
65–96 (40.4) Graves

Those are both hard jobs..But still i'm not sure using coaching records is really a great selling point for either guy....
 
that's what I have been saying, I don' want a coach already coming here with 5 years of experience and with a losing record. Is that going to bring excitment to the fan base ? At least with Schertz he had a winning record at LMU. Sorry is eligible for the job.
that's one of my requirements, no coach with 5 years of experience, and I don't mean being an assistant

Do u really believe that a coach with 5 years experience and a LOSiING RECORD, should qualify him a job at ISU ?

I want WINNERS!!!
 
In Matt's defense, he has been the Associate Head Coach for two of the best basektball minds of the last 25 years - Brad Stevens and our former coach. He's been widely recognized as someone who gets the game, can relate to and recruit top flight players. He's been to the final game of the NCAA tournament twice, been to multiple Sweet Sixteens, and even more NCAA tournaments. He had a less than spectacular run at South Alabama. But South Alabama might be a more difficult place to win than ISU.

I'm not a Graves "must hire" guy, ask anyone on here, but Matt has some ridiculous resume points, and you would think he would have learned something along the way, especially about what the problem was at USA. And I think he wants to be here. It wouldn't be the worst hire I've ever seen.

Bart if you look at it like that. Luke Murray everything you said and a winner.

Alright let’s go back to square one
I was ridiculed for stating that hcjs was going to leave
No way he would leave isu
He did
As of today basically all players have hit the portal
Square one
We need a new coach
Let’s make some phone calls that may go nowadays but
1. Dane Fife
2 Dan Morrison former lbsu coach
3. Bryon Scott former nba player and coach who has publicly stated that he wants to coach again and would consider any ncaa offer
Any of the three in name recognition alone would be a plus to isu

* Fife's a punk, zero interest in paying him a nickel much less a dollar
* I think you mean Dan MONSON https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Monson
* Do you mean BYRON Scott?? The former Laker player?? He's NEVER coached at the collegiate level has he?
I've found his NBA ass't & NBA HC record, no college that I've found
 
I mean South Alabama and UMKC are TOUGH schools to win at. Wasn't like they were at Murray State or Belmont when they were in the OVC. As we've seen over and over a coach can only go so far; resources, staff, support, budget, etc. are pretty good indicators of success. While under.500 as a head coach isn't sexy, it's not the end all be all. But i think if it's between Graves and Richardson you go with Graves all day every day

Graves has an impressive resume with the exception of the stint at South Alabama. However, like you mentioned probably not an easy place to win.

If he were the pick and we found success with him, given his ties to Indiana, I think he’s less likely to bolt for a dump of a program like SLU.

I would have been more comfortable with him as the guy if we actually returned some of our guys (not saying they won’t, but pretty unlikely now) though.

I’m almost inclined to say search for a proven winner again at the DII level.
