If necessity is the mother of invention, what are we going to do with all the orphans?
It’s time “colleges” such as St. John’s cut to the body chase and approach donors — boosters, alumni and all wealthy, ego-twisted NIL-givers — to just ask them where they want their money applied.
Now that they’ve purchased the right to lease college players, would they choose to fund a point guard on a six-month rental, a shooting forward or just apply their tax-deductible gift to The Rick Pitino Discretionary Fund and Shrine?
It is, after all, a buyers’ flesh market.
