I post this here because it is the first time I have seen for myself a ranking on NIL Collective Revenues by School:

"LISTING OF ALL NIL COLLECTIVES & REVENUE BY SCHOOL
There are 362 NCAA I member schools of which 211 currently have NIL collectives and 151 do not. All 69 members of the “power 5” conferences have supporting collectives while slightly more than half of all other NCAA I schools currently do not.

Average Funding per NIL Collective by Group:
Power 5 Schools $9.8M (66% to Football/24% to Mbb/10% all others)
Group 5 Schools $1.4M (50% to Football/37% to Mbb/13% all others)
FCS D1 Schools $733K (52% to Football/32% to Mbb/16% all others)


Based on 2022 Booster support, the following is our estimate of NIL collective 2023-24 funding per school:

Good job Coach Keats.

Amazing run.

Card Nation - we’re ready for a new era of Louisville Basketball, and we know you are too. It’s our time to keep our foot on the gas and give coach the resources he needs to make an impact. We can’t do it without you! To those who have already joined, thank you for your support. If you haven’t yet - what are you waiting for?

Memberships starts at just $25/month and will make an immediate impact.

Being reported by Goodman he is going to Charleston
That's pretty wild

"They have reached out and I am really considering Louisville," Edwards said. "I really want to experience Louisville."

Edwards appeared in 36 games this season and averaged 17.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 3.4 assists a game on 34.3 percent shooting from three-point range.

So all this shit we’ve been thru and we end up with Chris Mack’s former associate head coach and a guy who has never won a NCAA tourney game. Mr. Slogan - Pat Kelsey!

Josh hasn’t been up to the task

Just added to the football staff
Quality control
Pauls son

After LAZY Kenny.

We got the complete opposite in literally every way.

This guy may not be the best coach in the NCAA, but he may be the best for us.


Social media is ablaze with positivity, season tickets are being sold, and this guy is fired up to be here.

Put me at the top of the list that didn't have him at the top of my wish list. But I didn't know what I didn't know.

We might not sign elite recruits. But I bet we do, bet we get some guys willing to drink this guy's cool aid.

We could lose to KWC and Lee Anne Rhymes again.

But I bet we don't

Lazy basketball and excuses may be over

it sure seems like it

LA Dodgers All Star catcher and former U of L (and KCD, the school, not the day) star signed a 10 year deal worth $140 million dollars.

Yowsa!


The Dodgers and Will Smith have agreed to terms on a 10-year, $140 million extension, believed to be the longest term for a catcher's contract.

Smith, 28, who was eligible for free agency after this season, has averaged 23 home runs with an .820 OPS the past three seasons, making his first All-Star Game in 2023. He now occupies some coveted real estate: Cleanup batter behind former MVPs Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman.
___________

Smith's contract is also believed to be the longest one-time extension for a catcher, surpassing Buster Posey's nine-year, $167 million deal with San Francisco and Joe Mauer's eight-year, $184 million extension with Minnesota a decade ago.

We knew he'd win the press conference and he has! I'm fired up! LETSSSS GOOOOOOOOO!

GO CARDS!!!

Pat Kelsey’s base contract is five years, 2.3 million per year.

Hubert Davis is NOT a good coach. They screwed the pooch the last 60 seconds of that game. The drawn up plays were as if Alabama were in the huddle with them.

Now let’s see if he can back it up.

To get on board. I realize many don’t want to hear this. I get it, he wasn’t my top choice either but I’ll share some things.

I’ve posted for months that Kelsey is a rising star. I really believe that, as I’ve seen it with my own eyes. I’m not going to get into specifics and details, but from the agent world, coaches, administrators, etc, you’ll be hard pressed to find someone with a negative opinion of the guy.

The UMass deal hurt him a little and has caused people to pause in pursuing. I really think that will be to our benefit. The guy just needs a chance. He checks many boxes. I’ve seen him in camp settings, and recruiting. He gets it and his players love him.

I could go on and on, but I won’t. Bottom line, as fans we need to rally behind him. Firing everyone every couple years isn’t productive. Say what you want about Josh, but firing him won’t fix the issue either.

If he doesn’t have support he’ll fail. That’s the reality. Give him a chance and he’ll deliver. Fighting it and sitting home just delays any chance to get back to winning.

It’s going to take time, year 1 will be rough. Give him a chance.

What no doughboy on the list? No excuse to lose to that slug again.

Breaking ground soon on a build for Deangelo Russell in louisville. Got me thinking it would be really awesome if PK can get him and Donovan and Siva to as many practices as possible to help tutor some guys and run drills with them.

I know UK and UNC have used those types of connections better than we have in the past. If we can have some NBA guys, Brickley, etc hanging around the program the recruits would love that, and then they can also teach the current players a trick or two as well. I know Donovan has been around a bit before with Mack I believe but Kenny…. I think we know he didn’t do shit.

There is a path forward with Kelsey to make this brand very sexy again in short order. I don’t doubt that PK will utilize every resource possible

1. BHH
2. Johnson
3. Glenn
4. Traynor
5. Clark

FYI on this deal through UofL. If you have graduated within the last 5 years (undergrad or grad) you are eligible for up to 4 Young Alumni tickets in section 110 or 112. After yesterday's press conference, securing tickets was the first thing I wanted to do this morning and found this deal available. Probably the only seats in the arena that come without a required donation.

How many times is 1 player going to hit 3 home runs in a game? We got lucky, the next 2 will tell the tale.

Well, 1-5 in the ACC. 🤦‍♂️

Imagine that

So freakin fun!

This guy has changed the culture and added optimism in the first 2 minutes of opening his mouth

Just want to hug everyone!

Card fan since 1975--this has been hard on me.

Can't wait to scroll twitter now, and can't wait for breaking Cardinal news!

Let's freakin go!!!
