Pure speculation but maybe there are some sanctions coming down we have not heard of yet

The Portal is going to be a big problem for every program especially mid-majors unless it is tweaked soon.

What's interesting about the Buffalo situation is Williams and Segu leaving early to pursue professional ball. You don't typically see kids leaving eligibility on the table to play professionally overseas and those two, while good MAC players, don't strike me as NBA level talent. Definitely not NBA level but I suppose playing overseas at maybe 100k plus (is that the going rate) for a pretty high level player is appealing especially if you can play ten years. Williams is definitely better than Mallers and some other former recent Cards in Europe. I bet Persons will bank some pretty good dough if he’s smart and doesn’t spend a lot. I seem to remember an article a few years back about a kid from the Big East maybe who lived like a pauper and played a decade and made close a million or more.

Salary may not be that high, but living expenses often covered, and not bad tax treatment.
They dream of being a star, if they accomplish that there is good money then.
