Kids just want handouts these days. They do not want to work for anything.

It’s pretty simple. If LSU meets his asking price, he will be back. If they don’t, he won’t.

Or you can work for everything, make money in real time, and set yourself up for larger, future earnings.

2 of the 3 actually involve playing. NIL is just the low hanging fruit for dummies.

Eh, this critique seems misplaced here.

Heard came here with the explicit intention to compete with Will Campbell (a future top 10 pick) and to win that battle. That doesn’t scream looking for a handout to me.

He didn’t win that battle, and he now knows he won’t be able to usurp one of the best Olineman in the nation. He wants to play real game reps so he can keep getting better and eventually become a pro. Can’t blame the kid if he wants to pursue those reps. He believed in himself, and he chose to come in and compete with an absolute stud. But I suspect he’s since realized that he’s just simply not as good as the guy in front of him. Can’t really blame him for looking for other opportunities once that realization became unavoidable.


Obviously I still hope we retain him and he becomes a stud after Campbell graduates. But if not, I can’t really hold it against him. This one doesn’t feel like NIL chasing to me.

Why is this hard to understand?

A football player wants to play in the games. If he doesn’t get to play, he’ll try another team that might let him play.

Football only lasts for a few years. Why would a player spend the few years he had sitting on the bench watching others play in games he really wants to play in?

Kids play, or they leave for other teams, or they leave the sport. It’s not an indictment on their character.

TODAY:
“NIL Ruined the Game!”

Before that, “the CFP ruined the game!”

Before that, “the BCS ruined the game!”

Before that, “paying coaches so much ruined the game!”

Before that, “instant replay ruined the game!”

Before that, “tv ruined the game!”

Before that, “lights ruined the game!”


Here’s some hard medicine for you to choke down:

The game’s still here and it’s still awesome! If things continue to suck so bad for you, maybe take a look in the mirror….

GEAUX TIGERS!!!

They hv the upper hand for sure. It is going to be almost impossible to retain potential great players like incoming top freshman if they don’t play immediately . Since they are making money they should be held more accountable. Like guaranteed contract minimum two years . How else is this situation going to get resolved . It is going to get worse with time .
