I'll take NPOY over 6 ppg.
you followed up the previous post with this BS??? And you wonder why we think you're a PUke troll obsessed with your absolute joke of a program and the fact that Woody has kicked your ass 3/4 times with an inferior team and it's about to get a whole lot uglier for you in the future

It ($$$$$) directly impacts my feelings towards both Edey and PU.

While I could never root for either, if Edey makes zero in NIL and is POY I have a great deal of respect and admiration for him, and for PU as a program.

If he rakes in $2 million I dislike him and them as a program even more than now.
If he’s the highest paid player in college, it’s reason enough for me to root against him the hardest.


Caveat, if I had a child in the NCAA I would say make as much money as you can. But, it doesn’t change my feeling that trying to out Kentucky the slime programs of “college” basketball, while legal, doesn't make it any less dirty or palatable.

But, it is what is is.

“Money wins”.

The only good thing is that it is now easier to know who to root against. I wish it was even easier. Imagine Edey with patches on his jersey from all the sponsors that bought him? The bigger the bucks, the more prominent the patch. Find me a jersey with the name of just the school, and no patches, a true underdog I can root for. Until their players get poached in the portal, that is.

Get off my lawn @Chicago-bound Hoosier !!!!!!
i agree....every morning I wake up and wish the shot clock was at 45, we were running the motion offense, everyone stayed 4 yrs....but we all know those days are gone. I don't like the direction this is heading...IU is playing the NIL game but everything feels dirty now to me. Players are interested in playing for a program for the NIL money, not necessarily the program or the fans. I'm not opposed to change for the better...but NCAA ball is starting to feel like another G league that pays better.

Why is it going to get uglier?

If you're the player of the year and you can't even get drafted, then you aren't the player of the year, lol. The player of the year should be a can't miss lottery pick and be able to beat mid-majors.
when was the last time the NPOY was projected to be, at best, near the bottom of the 2nd round?
Edey's game...and Purdue's in general, doesn't translate well into the NBA. This and NIL will continue to make life tough for CMP going forward, unless he changes. Which he won't.

Maybe the NCAA can expand the field so Purdue can start losing to 18-20 seeds next. Why stop at 16?

Rumor is he’s backed off decommiting. Sounds like he wants something different than his parents/coaches want. These things hardly end well.

He’s backed off committing or decommititting? Lol
He’s not decommitting supposedly. He wants to but his coaches/parents stopped it. That’s the gist. If he truly wants to and they are stopping it those types of things rarely end well.

"an inferior team..."? Admittedly, 3 games out of first place in the conference this past season, so that part is true. However, wasn't IU the preseason conference favorite according to the media? I seem to recall reading that both here and elsewhere.

Welp he’s got until November to sign. We’ll see.

They were. Doubt that took into account losing their experienced point guard for the conference season.
 
Edey will be set for life with a few years of pro ball in the US or Europe. Retired at 26....and the naysayers will still be punching the clock or filling out time sheets.
Returning for another college season will not improve Edey’s draft stock or improve his quickness. He is what he is, a giant, immobile, NBA bench player.

Purdue mod said parents want Purdue. Kid has tons of people in his ear.
Parents and coaches. Regardless of people in his ear they should probably re evaluate. Let that kid explore his options or you’re asking for resistance down the road. The doubt is there.
 
I’ve only been here about a year and even I know Lucy is a legend.. unfortunately the Lucy-Kurt battles have dried up for the moment. Get the popcorn when the drunk returns
I get the sense that with Kurt the drunk schtick is just an act. While entertaining most of the time, I believe it's just a schtick. He may very well be drunk at times when he is posting, do not doubt that. But I think most is done for entertainment purposes. What say you @kurt cloverdales .

Purdue lost to the worst team in NCAA tournament history.

Still laughing.
