Looked it up and the average G League player makes $35K... From what I've been able to glean about overseas salaries, the average is not much more... I'm not sure even Trayce is making 35k at IU....is there a way to find out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to say that but if it's a guy that is ready to make a professional career there are benefits to being able to focus on basketball 24/7 and not have to worry about school. Especially if you're a guy that has a degree already finished up that you can fall back on. Every situation will be different and there will be a number of factors in every situation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurryinHoosiers Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) In the past, what has been the percentage of players that are done with school but decide to come back vs those that decide to hang it up despite having more eligibility? The NIL is only going to make the percentage of players that stay go higher unless they can go pro.

Of course every situation is different, but a post graduate degree would be an attractive option... And we're only talking about 1 year...

HurryinHoosiers Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) I think Woodson might be expecting some players won't end up fitting what he wants to run and will end up being asked to move on.

I would assume that his prediction is based off the assumption that IU is a larger brand than the average Div 1 school and our basketball team in general has a greater following. Thus, skewing the value higher for our athletes. As far as I know no numbers have been shared for our athletes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That average is basically useless info IMO. It is for a short period of time (only July) and doesn't say how many athletes it covers (only says D1 average is $471 median is $35). It is likely completely skewed by the small number of large deals and large number of small/zero$ deals that occurred in July (how does it account for a massive deal signed in June that pays out over time?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ba43056 Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 A concern that I have is the angle of self-promotion by young players. The distraction that could come from a player trying to earn more through NIL by means other than actions leading to wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGleas Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 44 minutes ago, slojoe said: Don't think CMW or AD will tolerate that at IU. Yeah, I think that's where having Woodson and Armond Hill, and to an extent Matta because of his experience with high level college players, helps a lot. Woodson and Hill are used to dealing with players, granted older and more experienced, that have competing priorities. That NBA experience should really allow them to deal with players and their NIL commitments and efforts in a player-friendly, yet professional way. Then you have Matta who has experience dealing with guys like Oden, Conley, Sullinger, etc., who were college players that most likely had "opportunities" when they played. IU has a really experienced staff for this stuff. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand mentored correctly, the players can learn some valuable non basketball skills!
