Kentucky’s men’s 🏀 payroll this year is around $22M, the highest in college basketball.

That’s up from around $4M in Calipari’s last season at UK and close to $10M last year.

Top players nationally are making up to $5M.

They are certainly being paid for their 🏀 services. https://t.co/44KAfqRVhh pic.twitter.com/zvsUuGXaQh

This bubble is going to burst. But the disparities will still remain.

I look forward to the NCAA and college sports falling flat on their face when the NIL house of cards comes crumbling down. It will not be sustainable. Then the few rich kids can go off and start their own mercenary super conference and then perhaps the rest of us can put together some plan with more sane ideas and college sports could actually continue.

They're not going to stop until college athletics is completely destroyed.

The ludicrous gets even more ludicrous.

Two former players in the G-Leaue - PROFESSIONALS, mind you -- have been given approvals to play college ball, one at Santa Clara and one at Louisville.

The decision makers at the NCAA are so afraid of getting sued that their destruction of amateurism in college sports continues. What's next? Allowing former NBA players to play college sports?
