to answer the question, limited. we finally saw the stark reality when 4 players left last year, who WERE NOT GOING TO STAY NO MATTER WHAT, for NIL money.

unfortunately, MBB had atrophied interest wise. Jane has been AWOL since Covid, the AD was hamstrung, and prior MBB coach never did squat to facilitate any enthusiasm or structure for NIL. and puuuhhheeeeze do not want to hear more excuses about CDM that it wasn't his job. enough.

Acker has a total re-build, including to somehow drum up NIL support. Even $25k a year for the program would at least let him compete. with nothing, he's simply offering a chance to try out for future NIL.

the 18 year olds and even some 2 and 3 year college players have warped views of their value and prospects.

not sure how Acker will do it. #1 it needs a President to first eliminate this VP buffer between the President and the AD

then needs to rebuild the entire fan/alum base, where people will feel confident to donate to both the program and NIL

anyone can read on these boards, the sentiment about NIL and about being turned off or ignored or marginalized by Jane, Monson, Fee, this VP oversight structure, on and on....and on top of that no patience for a 1st year coach doing some OTJ training, who actually did have his players playing hard (aside from Fullerton 2nd game), albeit disjointed.

we just have to wait for July 1st, probably by next spring to see what type of PResident LB gets. and unfortunately for Acker, & Smitherin, they do not have anyone above them to articulate leadership in sports. hard to do your job when the job constraints do not match the job expectations
