With an era of excellence in the history books, and the business of college basketball changing so radically, the balancing act for Villanova? Adapting to the times, while keeping its culture intact.
The success of Villanova basketball is juxtaposed with the changing landscape of college sports. One rife with players receiving huge paydays and schools feverishly working to stay one step ahead.Sep. 27, 2023, 5:00 a.m. ET
On the subject of a collective, there was a need to achieve “alignment” to the top of the administration and the board of trustees. Now achieved, according to one Villanova source involved in those discussions, adding how it helps that this collective effort is a very small percentage of university donations.
. Ashley Howard had been co-director but he has returned to the basketball staff as an assistant coach.five years ago would have sounded silly, with all the money coming into big-time college athletics. There is a lot of money being paid for live television sports. That’s been going on for a long time. The money is nothing new. Just the players can now in their own way partake in it.
Imagine if there was another factor in play … What if Hart heard through the grapevine that Blueblood State would let him be their “three and D” guy and Blueblood State also had a big-time collective, with the possibility of, say, doubling his money? “No, I love Villanova,” Moore said. “They’ve been so great over the four years I’ve been here. So it would be hard just to leave.”
Villanova alumni already are grousing these days about not getting top-tier high school players. Is NIL a factor here? It would be naive to deny the obvious. Jalil Bethea from Archbishop Wood recently chose Miami over Villanova. That’s happened before. Lonnie Walker and Isaiah Wong chose the Hurricanes over ‘Nova. Still, it would be naive to think NIL isn’t part of any high-level recruiting now.
One group that Villanova goes easy on expecting too much in the way of NIL donations from are the recent ‘Nova stars, some now making big money in the NBA. “Our guys are always on board with helping out any way they can,” said Foye, noting the $1 million contribution Kyle Lowry gave Villanova in 2018. Of his NIL conversations, “Our guys understand it. This is the direction we have to go.”
