re: “Lance Heard evaluating his role at LSU” per Kelly

This is where I think the NIL money gets too hazy. The NCAA’s approach is that private entities could pay players, but that the schools wouldn’t be involved. But now we have a guy apparently holding out for more money, which the school or coach, ostensibly, can’t give him. I’m sure that the coaches can ask private donors behind the scenes to pony up some $$$$ for a specific player. Isn’t this exactly where we were before NIL? The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Well you have a point but obviously part of the recruiting process is promising a certain amount of NIL money. The schools should not be doing this but hey, it’s a Wild West show and a cluster frick. So yeah, the player is gonna bitch to the school and the coaching staff.

Now I suppose Heard’s beef is he thinks he’s supposed to start at LT which is why I say he can carry his arse. But looks like he has a supporter or two in this thread trying to spin it that he isn’t getting NIL money he was promised. Seems like that should be between the kid and his sponsors.
