It does include the guaranteed salary. That's kind of the point they're making; they get a guaranteed salary, but it's less than what the men make. The men's salary is partially based on wins while the women's is not. So if the women were losing all of the time, then this would be a way better deal for them. (See hypothetical above. If both teams played 20 friendlies a year and lost all 20, they would get paid roughly the same. The women are arguing that since they play more, win more, and have high revenues, they should get paid closer to equal what the men get paid). If they had the same, nonguaranteed deal that the men have, then they would make more money because of their wins. One of the statements the player's federation made has to do with the CBA that the men signed in 2011. Since then, the USSF has had unprecedented growth in their financial assets (almost tripled). When the women went to negotiate their next CBA in 2017, the USSF, even though their revenues had tripled, offered them a deal that was worse than what the men had signed 6 years prior (at least subjectively. I don't know the terms of the deal, but just going off what I can find when I google). And then the men renegotiated their CBA in 2018, which is their current CBA. It's been stated that they agreed to this collective bargaining agreement because they felt that it was the best that they were going to get without going on strike, which would've affected their 2019 World Cup qualifying and also would've included non USWNT players in the NSWL, since the USSF is in control of it. Also, I don't know how the guaranteed annual salary works. If they make the roster one time in a calendar year, are they guaranteed that salary? If they make the roster x amount of times? Annual salary is adjusted for how many times you make the roster? Idk, but for your question about maternity leave, if the guaranteed annual salary is anything but that first option, then maternity leave isn't really a benefit that they get (since it would affect the amount of times they would be able to make the USWNT roster that year). However, I'm sure there's something about that worked into the CBA.

Watching that clip, the most apt comparison I can think of for a modern day player is Dirk. Dirk is obviously bigger, but I see a lot of similarities in their shooting style and ability to hit from just about anywhere.

Texas Players eligible for 2021 draft RS Sophomores: Josh Moore, Willie Tyler Junior: Jalen Green, Anthony Cook, D'Shawn Jamison, Juwan Mitchell, Caden Sterns, The Punter's Cousin, Brennan Eagles, Dicker the Kicker, BJ Foster, Keaontay Ingram, Demarvion Overshown, Reese Leitao, Kobe Boyce, Montrell Estell, Sam Cosmi RS Junior: Josh Thompson SR: Sam Ehlinger, Chris Brown, Daniel Young, Jacoby Jones, Marques Bimage, TQ Graham, Tope Imade, Derek Kerstetter, Denzel Okafor, Cade Brewer. I got this from the 2020 roster on Texas Sports, but there's some obvious mistakes regarding classification. I don't know them off of the top of my head, so I just left it as is. Point still stands, these are the guys that would be eligible to declare for 2021 draft https://texassports.com/sports/football/roster/2020?&sort=class

No shit, Bama has had a machine rolling for 10 years. You wanna know how many Bama players got drafted in Saban's first 3 drafts? 0 in 2008, 4 in 2009, and 7 in 2010 (after winning a national championship. Included 2 juniors from his 12th ranked transition class and one community college transfer that he recruited) Nick Saban first 3 drafts: 11 players, 8 that he did not recruit Tom Herman first 3 drafts: 9 players (plus guys like Poona and Holton Hill who should've been drafted). All 9 guys were not recruited by Herman. Yes, Herman has to recruit better to improve our talent baseline, which should improve the number of players drafted. One of the things that he has to fight against is Saban putting 10 guys in the league. But let's not act like Saban came into Bama and immediately starting sending 10 guys to the draft. He needed his guys to win a national championship and then he got his machine rolling. I'm on the "Let's See What Herman Can Do With His Recruits" (and hopefully better position coaches) train right now.

2020 Texas Offseason Thread: Herman's Hail Mary
TheBryMan81 replied to texifornia's topic in Football
He was in the class of 2017 and was given a medical redshirt by the NCAA in his freshman year due to an early season injury. 2017 - redshirt due to early injury 2018 - injured before season, played late in season 2019 - played. So looks like he's got two years of eligibility remaining. -
2020 Texas Offseason Thread: Herman's Hail Mary
TheBryMan81 replied to texifornia's topic in Football
The receiving totals of 3 players tend to be lower when you include a player that only played 2 quarters the entire season. So to support your contention that the WR room is empty, you picked: Jake Smith: true freshman slot behind senior Devin Duveranay. Scored 6 TDs, only 3 power 5 freshman WR scored more. Jordan Whittington: played 2 quarters all year. Former 5 star and one of the most athletic players on the team Brennan Eagles: showed flashes as a sophomore (100 yards + TD against LSU). If stanco were an LSU fan going into 2019: "Other than Jefferson, I wonder who will step up this year. Chase, Sullivan, Marshall? Shit our WR room is empty, those 3 only combined for 860 yards last year" -
His rankings ended up looking really good, but of the 81 players that Charlie Strong signed, approximately only 50 stuck around until they graduated or declared for the draft (just did a quick count, so may not be exact.) So although he had no problem recruiting, a good chunk of his players did not stick around to get coached by Herman. Of those 50 that stayed, 10 got drafted (D. Foreman (never played for Herman); Malik; K Boyd; Deshon; C Williams; Omenihu; Dickson; Duvernay; B Jones; Collin Johnson) + 12 more UDFA that signed with teams (Poona; Andrew Beck; Chris Nelson; Jason Hall?; H Hill; CW3; D. Davis; PJ Locke; Hager; LJH; Roach; Shack); so 22/50 Strong's 3 classes: 50 players including 2 5stars (both drafted), 22 4 stars (4 drafted, 4 UDFA), and 27 3stars or below (4 drafted, 8 UDFA) Herman's 1st 3 classes include (players still around): 3 5-stars, 33 4 stars (1 UDFA Gary Johnson), 24 3 stars or below (graduate transfers weren't counted in this as they did not show up on 247). Although Strong's classes had good individual talent, by the time they were draft eligible, there wasn't a high number of them left. Now that Herman has more players with a higher talent baseline and more players that fit his physical and mental eval, I think more of them will develop into draftable players. Just in Herman's first two classes, I think 18-20/38 have decent chances of being drafted or signed as UDFA. I think, if Herman makes it for another 2 years, it would be fair to judge his ability to develop players from start to finish based on how many of those 18-20 actually get drafted (and get drafted high) rather than having to sign as UDFA.

There's a lot of variables that make it complicated. Supposedly, only a quarter of USSF revenue is actually from games played. About half of it is from sponsorships. You may argue that sponsorships for the USSF have increased specifically due to the USWNT (global success, championships, worldwide movement towards gender equality and more support for women's sports), but exactly how much sponsorships have increased solely due to the USWNT is difficult to quantify, and therefore difficult to argue. But even without that, the USWNT has a strong argument: "We play more games in order to bring in more revenue than the men, we sell more jerseys, we win more championships, and we still get paid less."

2 UDFA - Roach/Saints and Shack/Bucs Point still stands.

Not according to this article by the Chicago-Tribune, citing the Wall Street Journal https://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/ny-uswnt-outgenerates-usmnt-game-revenue-20190618-vpccjc5si5ejrlm3xkri2mt4yu-story.html "The USWNT generated nearly $51 million in revenue (mostly from ticket sales) from 2016-18. In the same time frame, the USMNT generated just under $50 million." From the Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/07/08/are-us-womens-soccer-players-really-earning-less-than-men/ "Nike chief executive Mark Parker reported the jersey “is now the number one soccer jersey, men’s or women’s, ever sold on Nike.com in one season.” Although, interestingly enough from the same article: "The Fact Checker obtained the new (collective bargaining) agreement, which took effect in April 2017. Using the same 20-game scenario (if, hypothetically, each national team played 20 friendlies per year), we calculated the player on the women’s team would earn $28,333 less, or about 89 percent of the compensation of a similarly situated men’s team player. If both teams lost all 20 games, the players would make the same amount. That’s because the men earn a $5,000 bonus when they lose and the women have a $100,000 base salary. USWNT players have previously said publicly they believed this was the best agreement they could get without going on strike"

When did Earl Campbell ever wear a purple jersey? If I went into a store and saw a purple #20 Campebell jersey, I would not think it was an Earl Campbell jersey. It's not an "Earl Campbell" jersey if it's something he never wore. If there was a gold and green jersey football jersey with "Texas" on it, I doubt that would sell very well either; because it's not Texas, just like a purple jersey is not Earl Campbell. You can't separate the two; they're forever linked. But also, not every school has the same aura that Texas does. You don't think Randy Moss gear (like sponsored receiver gloves) would sell better than his Marshall jersey without his name? Steve McNair gear vs. unnamed Alcorn St. jersey?

From his Draft Overview on NFL.com: "Strengths: Rugged, durable frame. Led the nation in catches and finished fourth in yardage. Texas 100m state champ (10.27) in high school. Has potential to separate on deep balls. Thrives with catch-and-runs. Runs like he hates humanity as he blasts through tacklers. Roughs up clingy coverage. Good sideline awareness to drop the feet inbounds. Slows and settles into zone windows. Can pluck throws with hands or nestle them in traffic. Very reliable, soft hands."

I thought so too, but it seems like the G league already made it's final offer. Maybe he's trying to leverage them for more, but I don't see why the G League team would care that much. I'm not sure having GB3 on their roster or not really affects their bottom line all that much... And they're not exactly competing for any sort of championship.

Yup, that's the idea.

Greg Brown III - Supposed to announce on April 24
TheBryMan81 replied to Goo Punch's topic in Basketball
Ugh, that's 4am for me. I guess I'll catch the cliff notes from you guys when I wake up. -
That's the only tweet from Mandel/Feldman/The Athletic over the past few days that even slightly mention A&M. Is that question really that upset over this? The amount of time they spend being thin skinned knows no bounds.

As far as shoe contracts go, I don't completely understand them as I haven't been able to find many available through a quick google search, but I do know that not every player (much less every rookie) gets their own signature shoe. According to ESPN, only 17 active players had a signature shoe line in 2019 and only 9 rookies have ever had their own shoe (before the 2019 draft): Lonzo Ball (BBB), LeBron (Nike), Stephon Marbury (AND1), Allen Iverson (Reebok), Jerry Stackhouse (Fila), Grant Hill (Fila), Shaq (Reebok), Michael (Nike), and Hakeem (Etonic). So there won't be any Greg Brown sneakers in Chicago or Houston. How do shoe companies make money off of these players that they pay $1million per year when they don't have a signature shoe? I have no idea. But they somehow do. Maybe he signs with Nike and they put him in a Kyrie shoe, he gets drafted in the lottery and has a great rookie season. Now kids that are Greg Brown fans (friends that knew him, Austin kids that play in the same AAU program, any of his 250,000 instagram followers, fans of whatever team drafted him) are asking their parents to buy them Kyrie shoes because Greg Brown wears them. I don't know. Rookie shoe deals are entirely based on projection and I would guess that many of them don't go past 2-3 years so that the companies can offer an adjusted second contract rather quickly. -

I would hope that most of the kids that take the G league route sign with an agent; I guess they don't necessarily have to, but I would guess that most of them will since agencies will be banging down their door trying to sign next year's lottery picks. -

Zion signed a 7 year $75 million dollar shoe deal coming out of college (set the record for rookie shoe deal). According to this, LaMelo Ball, after not going to college and playing in Australia (Australia, not some top class league) has potentially already been offered a $100 million dollar shoe deal (plus the use of a private jet). https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/bulls/potential-no-1-2020-nba-draft-pick-lamelo-ball-reportedly-offered-100-million-sneaker Yea, I'd say he gets something in the same zip code as Zion. It doesn't matter whether you go to college or not. The shoe companies run AAU and know who the potential lottery picks are when they are still in high school. It doesn't matter where they go after high school, Nike and Adidas already know who the stars are. If you're expected to be a top 5 pick (having succeeded in either college or some sort of pro ball), they'll know exactly how to watch you/track you wherever you are and you'll get a good shoe deal, and if you don't, then you hired the wrong agent. -

Yea, but if goes to college for free, he risks getting injured and costing himself millions of dollars in draft position. If he gets injured in the G league, at least he got paid and has a shoe contract, etc that can somewhat make up for the loss of draft position. -

Shoe companies will sign future lottery picks. Jalen Green is already considered to be the 2021 #1 pick and would've been the #1 pick this year. I think others probably project Brown to be a top 5-10 pick. These guys get very competitive offers for endorsements because of their status and publicity as a lottery pick. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2887051-report-jalen-green-likely-to-get-7-figure-shoe-contract-after-joining-g-league "According to Nick DePaula of ESPN, the guard will have "several offers" from companies with a contract that will top seven figures per year. He is set to sign with Aaron Goodwin, who negotiated rookie shoe deals with LeBron James, Dwight Howard and Kevin Durant." -

More than he'd make playing for Texas. Plus the potential for a shoe deal and endorsement contracts.
