Xavier NIL

Because SCOTUS said so. MLB did not get rid of the reserve clause SCOTUS determined it illegal in the Curt Flood case. Same for NIL.

Correct!!

Quinnipiac head coach Baker Dunleavy stepped down from his position Thursday morning to become Villanova's general manager of basketball.

In his new role, Dunleavy will support men's basketball coach Kyle Neptune and women's basketball coach Denise Dillon with name, image and likeness deals, the transfer portal, marketing and fundraising.

Nova is not the first school that has done this.

I don't know how this plays out long term. One thing I have noticed is that I can guess with close to 100% accuracy whether or not a person if above or below the age of fifty based solely on what they think of the NIL rules and transfer portal. Maybe the future fans don't care. Maybe they actually like it.

Either way, the NCAA lost complete control of it. Ironically, the biggest reason why they lost complete control of it was because they insisted on not giving up control of anything when it came to amateurism. Even though many were warning them about this for at least a decade.

Mario Mercurio is already our GM of Basketball. Has been for years and as well qualified as anyone to do the job.
His title may be different but that dude knows where it’s at. Knows the school, culture & tradition.
Feel good about that.
