    For these guys that have roles on teams and already play valuable minutes, especially upperclassmen, it's 100% about the money.

    Also seems like his 10th year of eligibility.

    I get it, maybe Butler lowered their NIL deal with him as well

    I would be stunned if Butler didn't have the lowest NIL in the BE. They have always operated on a shoestring budget.

    Good for him. Hope he goes to a program that makes it to the tourney. Been a long road for him and hope he can have a great last year.

    I agree…it’s a NON-profit organization.

    I said it was not a NOT FOR PROFIT organization.

    There is a difference. (I know this because until this January I served on the board of a NOT FOR PROFIT association as VP and P for the last 7 years.) The NCAA says that after paying their Operating Expenses, that the rest of the money goes back to the member schools. Fine, no problem so far, right? However they don’t tell you what are their Operating Expenses are made up of. It is perfectly legal for them to have investments, cash reserves, certificates of deposits, etc. in their organization's portfolio. (And they do) They don’t have to send ALL of “profits” to the schools if they set it up correctly.

    In fact, according to a USA Today story they had $565 MILLION dollars in assets at the end of the 2023 fiscal year.

    I think that is certainly a factor. Making the NCAA tournament for a guy with only a year left is certainly a factor for some as well.

    Although, admittedly, I don't have any idea what Butler's roster looks like next year and, if with Posh, they should be any good?

    Des, is another example of a different reason upperclassmen with large roles may transfer.

    wow. He couldnt get off the bench at XU. He drops down a level, becomes a volume scorer (lots of point on ALOT of shots) and basically puts up no other stats (29 more TOs than assists on the season).

    And now he's being recruited by some decent programs again. Will be interesting if he gets another shot at that level. it would be REALLY interesting if he ended up at St. Johns and played for Pitino.
