Apologies for the broken record on this...

For a small moment, let's pretend that $10MM/year is the going rate for fielding competitive basketball team.

These were ND's best 3 players for a team that went 13-18 overall and 4-14 in conference.

Yes, I understand that Burton only played 10 games but is Tom Noie trying to convince us that ND should have ponied up $10.5MM to roll this shit show back? GTFOH.

You can't have it all of these different ways. ND is never going to set the market. Shit, they don't in football and ND's 2 highest draft picks just told us that. But don't whine about the money when the money wouldn't do shit in this particular situation. It'd be an expensive investment for a bottom feeder ACC team.
