Here is a quote from the Oakland coach.
"He's going to get offered so much money and I can't [match that]. We've got a 'Keep Trey Townsend Fund' going from our [NIL] collective, and we might be able to get $40-50,000 in there, but he's looking at $250-300,000 from what I'm being told. So, it's going to be hard for me to tell him to stay."
I'm sorry but i'm not clear of who Kampe is talking about ?
Trey Townsend forward

Although things have improved YSU is one of the all-time worst mens programs in D1 the last 30+ years. The players the last two years came here for a pay day. How sustainable is that moving forward?
It doesn't make much sense to me either for the reasons I stated above.
Have to wonder if this was another reason why YSU wasn't interested in a post season tourney, and possibly why Lovelace & Burns are in the portal.
PFW is in the CIT championship game on Wednesday night. They started their season impressively and are now finishing it strong. It would have been nice to see YSU keep playing and have success like that. It was important not long ago, but apparently it wasn't this year.
Anthony Breland just entered the portal. Male that three.
John Lovelace has entered the portal. Disappointed, but can't say I'm 100%. Seemed like his mins and production dipped the second half of the season
The NIT turned into what we expected with a lot of the bigger school turning down invites so now they get a 15-16 Villanova team in and as a #1 seed. There was no way YSU was getting in the NIT with the changes that were made
Cleveland St. is in the CBI tournament and PFW in the CIT tournament.
From the sounds of it, YSU didn't want to participate in a post season tourney, the mindset sure changed from a few years ago when Coach Calhoun was all about it.
The whole thing is disappointing
