WBB 26-27

Don't forget they have a game tonight at 630 MT against UT-Arlington. They beat Wyoming last year 64-44 in Arlington. Appears they had quite a bit of roster turnover but went out and signed a few transfers, one being Jayln Brown who is averaging ~18ppg the past couple of years.

I am sure Wyoming's 28 of 103 shooting thus far will keep them in it. I could see another 30-40 point loss at home tonight.

I went back to look at the schedule. There is a real possibility that Wyoming enters conference play with 1 win (Regis). The schedule is loaded with good mid-major programs and Jax State currently is the only one I think we could be competitive with

Maybe TB leveraged the guaranteed clause was make them donate to NIL?

They actually did this with Sawvel's contract. In december last year, they restructured the guaranteed additional compensation down from $800,000 to $675,000 and shifted the $125,000 to NIL for last year's income. Keeps it from being considered 'gross income' to Sawvel.

To be honest, It's kind of refreshing to see some creative thinking out of the athletic department.

The Wyoming legislature probably isn't paying enough attention to get their panty's in a twist over it, the average Wyomingite probably has no idea it's even happening, UW directly pads it's NIL coffers without exceeding the revenue sharing limit, and Sawvel gets good PR and a tax incentive.
