Hall of Famer and former longtime Syracuse basketball head coach Jim Boeheim tells The Orange Zone podcast that he thinks the 'Cuse needs an annual budget of $10 million to be competitive in NIL amid the current landscape in college athletics.
Naturally, Boeheim's comments are leading a lot of Orange fans to chime in with their own opinions on social media and in chat rooms. For me, the key question is: Can the 'Cuse even attain such a dollar amount?
It's an interesting question with layers of complexity. For one, name, image and likeness ("NIL") funds are coming from a variety of different sources these days.
