Not UB football, but the search for a new men's basketball head coach has been an unmitigated disaster. UB has been publicly turned down by three candidates, including one (Adam Cohen) who's from Williamsville and was a team manager at UB while a student there!! So many depressing rumors as to why.

I'm not sure he's qualified but I wonder if they'd reach out to Turner Battle?

With his height and that speed am sure he'll get drafted, am guessing Rounds 5-7. 

I can see that too.  His tape seems good and demonstrated good hands.  But, I can't find any draft site that even mentions him as a draftable prospect.  NFLDraftScout has an entry for him with none of the Pro Day numbers filled in and no draft projection.  This is odd to me as the draftniks usually overdo their work, not underdo.

Turner Battle is the Athletic Director at the Park School in Buffalo.  I think that's the track he wants to pursue. That said, he might be better than Mark Alnutt already.

 

Allegedly two things are hurting UB's search for a coach: 1) salary offered and 2) potential NIL money for recruits.  SUNY does not care a lick about athletics and would probably be just as happy to send UB back down to D3.

UB offers more and Nil money than 95% of MAC schools at least in football

After a week of rejections, UB hires a coach with a solid pedigree. Let's hope he's as good as his resume.

Should be an amazing 2023 year!!

[May Day 10]

Sounds like they got a good coach

I will wait and see what George Halcovage can accomplish at UB? I am not sure he will accomplish much unless UB donors take it as a learning experience that UB donors needs to wake up and have NIL opportunities for the players. Or UB Bulls will be passed by the rest of the MAC. Under 2,000 students St Bonaventure Bonnies basketball has NIL and $1 million dollars plus a year coach Mark Schmidt. UB Bulls alums are cheap when it comes to passing the hat. I know I root for both these schools teams the UB Bulls are the best college football school in Western New York and the Bonnies are the best college basketball school in Western New York. BSF Western New York has only one college football program in Western New York exactly that is why there UB Bulls are the best. But college basketball UB doesn’t have that luxury there are four programs in Western New York. UB alums need to understand the rest of America are doing NIL you either do it or fall behind. If you fall so far behind you can’t compete in the MAC than what are we doing at UB. The above UB poster is right SUNY would love for UB to go back to Division 3 irrelevance again in my opinion. UB Horns Up! Go Bulls! Let’s Go Buffalo

That just isn’t accurate information at all. The only UB Bulls player I saw who is no longer with UB Bulls football is Dylan McDuffie was selling some t-shirts with his UB number back when he was still with UB two schools ago he transferred to Georgia Tech played a little there and now I think he transferred to Charlotte 49ers to finish his college football career but that is it. Dylan McDuffie should have just stayed at UB but I have no idea what went on there. Just speaking as a bias UB Bulls fan he was at the level where he could play which he was doing than transfer portal to the higher level ACC where he didn’t get the carries he got here. Sometimes the grass isn’t always greener on the other side and I think we are seeing that play out with the transfer portal. None of the Bonnies Iron men five experienced the same success away from Mark Schmidt and St Bonaventure Bonnies. 
 

St Bonaventure Bonnies basketball men’s and women’s have NIL with jerseys and t-shirts of Bonnies players set up with the Sports Locker out of Olean online that is it. I was able to get a nice Kyle Lofton alternate Addias Bonnies jersey and the starting Iron Men five cartoon t shirts they do good a good job at Sports Locker for Bonnies merchandise online and the Bonnies players get a part of that depending how well each individual player sells. 
 

But UB doesn’t do anything with Fantastics or anything like that. Let me be clear this is the UB Bulls and St Bonaventure Bonnies alumni NIL isn’t affiliated with the school itself to be very clear. I am sorry this poster isn’t posting accurate information at all about UB Bulls athletics. Believe me I wish Buffalo sports fans could buy the UB players merchandise like the Bonnies players merchandise. I think it would help not just with recruiting but player recognition for the Buffalo sports fans in my opinion. UB Horns Up! Go Bulls! Let’s Go Buffalo

That’s not the only way to use an NIL

 

selling jerseys is not the only way 

 

All 90 scholarship football players can sign any type of name image likeness deal

@Buffalo Super Fan

 

Now what does that say

 

Average NIL value $10,000

The problem with UB Bull merch is the Athletic dept not having their act together.
