In the age of overpaid college athletes becoming divas and not playing for their current employers, I’ll take someone like Mincy missing a few shots every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Tony stated you can't do anything about them "caring".

They are pros

Doc their per game salaries.

Bench the whole team and suit up the managers for st. Joe.

I think we’re getting a glimpse at the tricky part of modern recruiting. You can add talent but it’s hard in a speed dating world to know whether a guy will fight or quit when things get tough.

This group clearly has not responded well to adversity.

Mason opted into the house settlement. The university is directly paying the players this year. The AD has control over this

You cannot fine players or dock their NIL/rev share payments. They would have to be classified as employees of the university and part of a collective bargaining unit to do that.

So no, actually, the AD does not have “control of this.”

This may not be completely true based on the provisions in the contract - https://www.cbssports.com/college-f...adjustments-buyouts-and-bowl-incentives-work/

"Clauses & compliance​

Both the aforementioned Big Ten and Big 12 agreements include clauses on:

• Enrollment requirements.
• Termination if the athlete leaves the school, the team, or enters the transfer portal.
• Restrictions on promoting political organizations, sports gambling, alcohol, tobacco products, adult entertainment, or substances banned by the NCAA.
• A clause in the Big 12 school's contract stating that if an athlete fails to disclose known physical or mental health conditions that could impair his ability to compete, the school can reduce payments by 50%.

Buyout provisions & market adjustments​

Compensation amounts are laid out in agreements but are not fixed. The Big Ten school's contract states that the school can adjust a player's payout based on marketability. For example:

• Winning the Heisman Trophy would increase a player's value.
• Reduced playing time would decrease it.

Buyout provisions exist as well. An NIL agent told CBS Sports that if a player transfers, they would seek to have the new school cover the remainder of what is owed to the original school."

The team defense is still a bigger issue than Mincy’s shooting. Even if he had gone 3-4 from 3 in the last game we still lose it by 5 because we let them shoot over 50% from 3 and 56% from the floor. A good defense doesn’t give up 82 points on its home floor.

We lost to GW and Richmond for the same reasons (although GW was pretty terrible all around). You can’t go down 24 points on the road and expect to come back.

I dont think any of that applies here. Theres no one that is going to put a provision in their contracts that they can dock rev share pay for "lack of care" or even "performance" because that would effectively tell players "we dont want you."

It’s all tied together. Team is playing with zero confidence right now and duh, that has a lot to do with our best player performing as a shell of himself physically. Just not sure I’ve ever seen a team whose attitude was so clearly driven by one guy.
