If Maye were not to play next year, Criswell is the starter. Period. Still good players around him and knows the playbook.
 

I see this a lot with UNC fans, a chicken little mentality, I bet you think if the basketball team doesn’t go 40-0 and win every game by 50 points the season is a failure  

 

The point sailed clear over your head. The basketball team is what it is. Still the same two fundamental flaws from last year. No true PG to initiate the offense and consistent defensive breakdowns. Hopefully they'll catch fire again at some point this season but I can't say I'm shocked we're struggling. We struggled most of last season.

Listen here's the truth. Your homer ass can't try to lecture any other fan about anything. You traipse across this board trolling other college fans constantly and I'm just gonna be honest and tell you the entire mod team is about sick and tired of it. You're the guy that causes people to hate Heels fans because you're a delusional homer and you're an obnoxious asshole about it. Sorry about those hard hitting facts, but you could always just consider stopping that poo.

Then they need to step up the NIL stuff. They got the money. 
 

and there are transfers every year. I expect 1-2 running backs to leave because the reps just won’t be there next year. 

They do but Carolina also has their academic reputation and funnels money into their academics. Schools like Bama and Ohio State could give two shits about the actual academics. It’s all about making money through athletics.

UNC fans are nowhere near the level of psychotic, mentally unstable NCST, UK, or duke bball fans who didn’t attend duke, but my God can our fan base be irrational and big wah wahs.

Fair point. UNC can have a top notch bribe money laundering slush fund….ERRRRR I mean NIL collective if we want it. The money is there with the alumni.

In other news, how are Coastal fans doing this morning? You got your poo kicked in last night then lost your coach to your old Big South rival. Guy didn’t even leave for a P5 job… he left for Liberty, a G5 team, out of CUSA… LMAO

He took a pay raise and inherits a team that the previous coach left with a lot of meat left on the bone.  I can't fault the guy. Plus, with McCall all but entering the draft, his meal ticket for the past several years was moving on.

Smart move. 

*NOT a CCU fan, just looking at the situation objectively.  I am high on McCall though.

I've seen nothing to indicate that Maye wants to leave.

Just the opposite, honestly.

He very well may stay but Howell's final season should be a huge precautionary tale for him and I'm sure he's already heard all about that from other programs and will hear a lot more after last night because it looks like he could be walking into a similar situation.

Maye also said he hadn't heard from any other programs and if you believe that I have some oceanfront property in Asheville for you to consider.

Also, let’s just call the NIL stuff what it is. Bribe money. 

Or whatever you call this...

NIL is a huge issue, there’s a thread on IC that has quotes from Mack on the situation. He said we have a starter that has been contacted by 15 different teams and has received an offer of one million dollars, that’s life changing for a college kid, hell, that’s life changing for an adult. For what it’s worth, Mack stated that the player in question told him that he will not be leaving.

I’m not entirely sure how her parents are okay with the way she’s making money. It’s the like college athletics version of OnlyFans.

True, Freeze left Liberty in pretty decent shape.

She's legally an adult so it really doesn't matter what they think.

Lady Cowboy Fan made a similar comparison.

Women have been able to make a living off of saying "hey look at me, I'm hot" for decades. Technology had already made it easier than ever, and now the NIL rules have basically opened up a new avenue for that segment of the population.

Wonder who that starter might be? Who on that team might be getting chased by everyone out there and having seven figure bags dangled in front of him and might have enough ties to the school to actually turn it down? Hmmm... let me think...
