WVSPORTS.COM Syracuse transfer big Edwards picks West Virginia
- Thread starter Keenan Cummings
- Start date
Just so I have this straight, we are *checks notes* on the receiving end of the nation’s top transfers, correct? I was assured we would be struggling to pickup scraps from RMU and Duquesne and the transfer portal would end WVU athletics at some point this decade… I was also recently told that we have not had a Center in program history.
That just means NCAA rules will be written to stop this kind of success for teams like WVU.
Without the firing of Shane this never happens.
Lyons, you see, possessed mostly compliance in his background and, in the end, that came back and bit him. His failures were clearly laid out to be on the financial end of the new college athletics business.
President Gee, Saying, ‘We’re not aggressive enough in Name, Image and Likeness.’”
Where did the problem lie?
“The Trust wants us to be involved in a number of different areas where we just can’t be,” Lyons said. “I was not going to cross the line to jeopardize the integrity.

Lyons fired. NIL became available

So to be clear, your stance is that you have always had full confidence WVU could lure top tier transfers? Because that is ******* rich buddy.
Idk I just can’t believe you are here talking like you have always had confidence we were capable of doing this after the countless times we have had discussions about the portal/NIL/similar programs and your insistence that WVU is a broke lil sister of the poor that could never compete, let alone be at the top of the table when it comes to bringing in transfers.
Sure, just the alumni/community that are crucial to the infrastructure of WVU as well as any school worth a ****. The WVU community in totality is not poor. We are a large school, which means lots of alumni, and represent an entire state. Although the state is poor, being a flagship of an entire state is worth more than being a private school in the middle of nowhere or a city school, atleast in terms of athletic NIL spending. So if Baylor, TCU, Cincy and Gonzaga and do it, we can also.
