They averaged in the 70s in Big 12 play that isn't that bad. This was a 20 win team. And fewer teams in the SEC play that good on defense. The thing OU needs to do is find a couple athletic guys. Moore came from Georgia Tech with so-so numbers but he was obviously really athletic. Need another couple guys like that and we'll be good.
Milos is gone gone. Edit pending. Should be out very soon
Milos will not be here
He ain’t perfect but better roster another pg in jm to help.
I’m not sure where you got griping or saying I don’t like him out of that. I said I haven’t really watched him to know his game and just said that I didn’t know how him and McCollum would pair together. Being small and shooting poorly from 3 are legit worries.
Because unlike us, they get free education, housing, and eat better than all of us. I agree that they need to have a little extra money, but if you added up the value of what they get each year, you'd be blown away. You'd probably find out that they are already making more than most of us with just their free education, housing, and food.
Stop.
Bet a lot of there home games so was able to watch most of them, felt like similar to JM it was always up to him to have the ball in his hands when the shot clock ran down which caused tough contested 3's or a turnover trying to create. Feel like both would benefit from each other, Kid can score in a variety of ways if 3's arent falling on the road. Very good mid range game, good passer on the pick and roll, and can finish at the rim.
Well it's not about what most of us get. It's about what the market says they're worth. If you're a 6' 10" basketball phenom then the market supports you getting paid a lot more than a tax preparer at H&R Block.
It's also a poor argument in general.
So just because they get a free education, housing, and food means they should be precluded from making extra money? Does this apply just to college athletes or any job where there are good fringe benefits? Do companies that pay for an employee's MBA require them to take zero salary except for housing and food costs?
I agree that revenue sharing is a stretch but I was making a point about NIL. Right now it's not regulated so it just depends on what the market will allow. There's a reason Livvy Dunne is one of the highest paid athletes in college sports and it's not because she's an amazing gymnast. It's because that's what the market is dictating.

At least Livvy Dunne is out doing stuff to EARN her NIL. She is super marketable because of her looks. But nobody is giving her $1M to do gymnastics at LSU. Nobody is paying her for that. They are paying her to do tv and internet ads. THAT is what NIL is about. Given her following and the interest she generates, I understand companies paying her that. It's worth it. That isn't the same as some wealthy donor "buying" a player. Not the same at all.
It's exactly the same because it's all in the NIL bucket. And the wealthy donor is part of the market. I'm not saying it's right but it is what it is.
That is a terrible comparison.
OU basketball generates 11 mil + a year the things you mention don't come close to that ....
