Tennessee Vols Basketball Recruiting

[MoCo_Vol]

I never said 25 should be the line lol I said the most I would do would be 45m for the three, which would be 15m a piece, which if you think can win you national championship, is 100% worth it.

Your so out of touch with NBA salaries it's almost painful.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

We already have been in that conversation, so have other teams without paying $10m a player, it’s not necessary or beneficial. How much money do you think a good program brings in?

Depends on what you determine is a “good” program. If you’re talking the Tennessee tier, I’ll venture to guess roughly 25-30 million. Kentucky tier probably 45-50.

 

[walkenvol]

He does, and it ain’t that, lol.

Do you know what company(s) JJJ is advertising for?

 

[Dallasbowlin]

I know that nobody on our roster has numbers like that, yes.

Lower?

Wtf does NBA salaries have to do with this? Lol

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Well, I can’t comprehend giving a quarterback 8 million when we can’t even take care of our own players on roster apparently. JJJ is allegedly making high six figures. Think about that.

A highly touted QB is worth more value in the long run.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

I wouldn’t as I don’t see a national title as having a $50 million value to the basketball program but maybe I’m in left field on that?

Depends on the program. I’d say Tennessee it would. Could you imagine how far we would stretch that?

 

[Dallasbowlin]

You’d pay more for a Quarterback on a 9- 10 win team than you would a potential star who brings you a National Championship? Something that’s never been done in the history of Tennessee?

$17m for mens basketball, but sure, let’s pay multiple players $10m+ and coaches millions too!!!

He’s not, Spyre doesn’t require you to advertise.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Lower?

Obviously.

Hate to break this to you Dal but a 10 win Tennessee football team is bringing in a $h!t ton more money than a championship hoops team.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Wtf does NBA salaries have to do with this? Lol

Well...
1. it's the professional level for the sport in question
2. salary data is actually available and not hearsay/speculative like you continue to provide
3. THAT'S what you're ultimately competing with...

It's completely idiotic to just throw out numbers without any data or research behind it. So the best source to look at is what professional level basketball is paying their first contract guys.

Big facts, and we don't even host any tournament games so the ticket sales aren't really going to UT any damn way.

If it brings a NC, yeah. I don’t care what it takes lol

 

[walkenvol]

I’m ignorant as to how the program generates that much more revenue by winning a natty vs making the NCAA tourney. We already sell out all the best games and no matter how we improve it’s going to be tough to get more folks there on a week night to watch us play TN Tech or the like. I understand TV money is a contract with the league and not negotiated by each school.

Maybe they can raise the ticket prices and grab a few more donations but it’s hard for me to see how that adds up to $50 million

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Obviously.

Then we are failing.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Yes, the lol is strong, you don’t understand finances at all.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

My point has been made. We are failing to pay. Our guys what they are worth. If that is fixed line reported, good. If not, be prepared to go through the Tyndall year for 10 years.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Then we are failing.

Would love to see who in the country is paying $10m+/year for basketball players? $5m+?

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Yes, the lol is strong, you don’t understand finances at all.

In college sports? No. Why should I care? I’m a fan of the team, not their damn accountant.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

How much you donating to Spyre or UT yearly then, big bucks?

 

[Weezer]

I want Tennessee to be the first university to win NCs in football, basketball, and baseball in the same season....

It's a goal.

Bahahah that wasn’t your point at all, and if it was the way you went about making it was horrendous. We need to up our NIL game, yea that’s been discussed 5k times, but no we don’t need to be paying players $10m a year either lmfao

If Bronny goes the college route and the specifics of his NIL deal are announced/leaked, it'll level-set people and their NIL value expectations really quickly. Whatever he gets is going to be the most extreme outlier imaginable given his marketability, and other 5* players will have a significantly lower ceiling.
