For this NIL nonsense to correct itself, teams like Louisville not only need to not win it all next season, they need to fail to make the Final Four

If Louisville is also able to buy Milan Momcilovic, their roster has to be $20 - $30 million for next year. This is ridiculous in the obscene way. If the NCAA is not going to cap how much teams can spend and establish salary caps for players based on class year (Fr, So, Jr, Sr, Ss), then the only way for this ship to correct itself is for boosters to go broke or for the teams that spend the most trying to buy a National Title to keep losing every year so the boosters will finally realize that the gamble isn't worth the investment.

If the highest spenders end up winning most seasons, then NCAA basketball will be dead at that point. Society cannot have college basketball programs buying NCAA titles like that.

UNC is said to be interested in Sayon Keita and Joaquim Boumtje-Boumtje, both of whom currently play for FC Barcelona.

I wonder if UNC is interested in signing both Keita and Boumtje-Boumtje for the upcoming season? B-B will turn 17 on May 30, but he already has a good frame for college basketball, and if he were to reclassify to 2026, I think he'd be a great backup stretch 4 for Jarin Stevenson.

I'd instantaneously feel much better about UNC's roster next season with both Keita (starting C) and B-B on it.

Maxim Logue is only 6'9, but there are plenty of college centers that size, so I'd be perfectly fine if he could provide some minutes as a change-of-pace backup 5 in a lineup with B-B as the 4. I view Maximo Adams primarily as a 3/SF, who could play some 4/PF in a small lineup.

If UNC goes to Spain and only signs Keita for next season, they will still need to find at least one more big man for next season, imo.
