Obviously, if you see LSU just put two receivers in the first round and the long list of receivers that have been produced the kid is going for the money. Not playing the long game of being developed and drafted and getting the bag.

If players are going somewhere strictly for NIL money, I say frick em. Look how paying players lots of money worked for Aggie.

Whens the last time the Yankees or Dodgers won a a world series?

Top 4 NBA teams with highest salaries (Warriors, Bucks, Suns, Clippers all out in round 1)

Cowboys year over year have one of the most expensive rosters, yet win nothing.

I think eventually there will be contracts where they don't get NIL money until they play 3 full years and produce a certain amount. Otherwise these kids will get a bag and start to get lazy because they "got theirs" no reason to work hard anymore. They will get complacent

I predict a Portal entry after his freshman year. By year 3, he'll be a nobody and lucky to get drafted

Yes, the pain of 5 for 5 and Patrick Surtain pretty much has me checked out of recruiting until the day after signing day. That being said, there was even the signee at Florida whose signed NLI was nullified when his NIL deal turned out to not be real - so now we fans have to worry about that too! Ha ha

While I think it's sad and childish, I hope people blow up his social about the "changing dream".

When you draw attention to yourself, you better be willing to handle it...

Stop with this. Almost every player is trying to get their biggest amount possible. This is why people shouldn't have counted their chickens on the '25 class until they sign.

I almost said this to someone the other day.

Money! Who cares

EXTREMELY short sighted and a stupid business decision. Somebody smart needs to counsel this kid.

Texas is the king of NIL right now, he's going to have Arch Manning tossing him the rock, UT just had 2 WRs drafted very high (to say nothing of all the WRs that Sark put in the league at Bama), UT has one of, if not THE, largest and richest alumni bases in the country, the education is about 20x better than at LSU, and UT is located in a growing city that is made of money and consistently ranked as one of the best cities in America.

Meanwhile, LSU is located in a shitty town in a broke-arse state where most smart people can't wait to leave.

But yes, expand on this idea that Moore is making a bad long-term business decision.

So much drivel in your post.

1. Texas has been irrelevant in college football for the better part of 40 years. I know you won a championship with Young mainly because Reggie Bush had a brain fart and tried an ill advised lateral.

2. A football player isn’t attending a college for education. He’s attending to play football. LSU is a much better program than Texas is every metric - playing development, national relevance, and putting players in the league.

3. Alumni being rich has nothing to do with program success. See point #1.

4. Arch Manning has yet to play a meaningful snap. He may be the next coming or he could be a 3 star QB with a 5 star name. Arch is TBD.
