There’s positives and negatives to the portal.  Yeah you might lose guys to the high majors but SIU can also pluck Ali Dibba from Abilene Christian or grab a Barret Benson from Northwestern who barely plays but can be a good Big Ten player.  SIU has enough resources to compete in the Valley.  I just wonder at this point if they can catch up to Bradley or Drake who have a huge advantage of being private schools without a football program to support.

Benson was a grad transfer when you could transfer without sitting out a year that was the rule and he didn't receive NIL money unlike the wild west of today

Can someone kindly post the link to the basketball NIL collective. Witnessing the little e make the Dance should be enough motivation for all to donate. Something is better than nothing. SIUe my goodness sakes.

Go Nagy, Go Dawgs!!!

You're able to make one-time donation or keep a donation going monthly for as little as $6.18.

@salukiworld Thank you for sharing this.

I am also a season ticket holder, and SASF donor. The NIL is separate from this correct?

Yeah, Kennard leaving sucks but not unexpected after the numbers he put up this year. Seems like a good kid. Wish him nothing but the best and will be following his career. Hopefully he’s great with the big boys.

Well, that didn't take long. He played his heart out this year and leaves with my best wishes. Hope he finds a great landing spot and we see him on national TV a few times next season. My only wish otherwise is that it's outside the Valley. The thought of him in a Bradley, Illinois State, Drake or Murray State uniform is too awful to comprehend.
