I hope he is given a few years to recruit “his players.” College basketball is so incredibly competitive. And the NIL, which I would like to see massively overhauled, diminishes the “fandom.” I recall back in the 70s. Hog Bballers weren’t going any where except Barnhill Arena to play for the home team. I guess I’m old school. College should be about education. But, I’m a Cal fan and will hoot and holler for him.

NIL has soured me on College Sports. I compare 1978 to today. No comparison.
