I don’t believe any way, shape or form you can just go out and buy a team. Texas A&M tried it. With firing Jimbo the boosters a 100 million in and have gotten worse. UCONN just went back to back with probably 1/3 of the NIL at Kentucky last year. The coach must build a culture and recruit players to that culture. Throwing bags of money at someone who is only looking for the highest bidder won’t work. See Hunter Dickinson… I didn’t know Pope was a Rhodes Scholar candidate, He won with guys pledged to not smoke, drink or have sex. What good is money if all three of those are off the table. Lol. I’m not thrilled with Barnhart but I’m going Sunday to support Mark Pope.
