I Find Your Lack Of Faith Disturbing

Or maybe just maybe paying a kid that’s never taken a snap in college that kind of money there has to be a line drawn program wise somewhere. I guarantee Underwood told LSU the offer to match and once LSU a whole sat down they said it wasn’t worth it. Kelly isn’t just making the call on this. If you had millions to give to LSU wouldn’t you want an input as to where your money was going and how it was being spent?? You’re emotional reaction is what I don’t have confidence in.

and Kelly would rather golf

Not sure how or who is measuring this, but it seems impossible to me. Until they make these NIL deals public, it seems like the On3 "valuations" or "rankings" are primarily based on hearsay or rumor.

You got it backwards according to Shea Dixon. Underwood approved LSU’s new package this week and took it to Mich to match/exceed. He never called LSU back even after assuring LSU things were good yesterday.

Cause he and his family were playing LSU from day one and they did an damn good job of it.
Good luck Michigan. You better win it all or you will be a laughing stock.

Yes, I am currently warming my hands by the FL St. Dumpster Fire

So we are believing Shea again? They're saying that to save face(not necessarily Shea but his sources). Those same sources all cycle have said we'd match any offer. How would it be perceived if they came out and said they refused to match?
Not saying I disagree with the decision. I wouldn't approve paying him 3 mil a year if I were the decisionmaker. I also wouldn't put myself in a position to have my bluff called. They called our bluff and we folded. No amount of spin will convince me otherwise. This kid and his parents didn't work a year long con. Let's be realistic here.

Possible. Especially when you could very likely get a QB from the portal who actually has experience for less.

Underwood may turn out to be the next great college QB, but there is also a chance he could be a bust. Thats a lot of money to pay someone who’s only played high school ball.

This is honestly what I think was happening too. It’s not like it was t plausible that a top rated QB would want to play for a team with 2 heisman winning QBs in the last 4 years but I think he always wanted to go to his home state school. He just wanted to get as much as he possibly could for doing it.

My guess is, if he was a Louisiana kid, he probably would have done the same to some other team just to get LSU to pony up more money.

You're speaking in hypotheticals at this point. Look at the current climate of College Football. Pony Up or Left In The Dust

Hey water cooler fan. Let me give you a task. Your statement is pony up or get left behind. Two things for you to google. Top 10 teams with NIL money. Secondly show me one team that hired hit man that are actually good. FSU spent the third most money this season in the portal. Stop being emotional and listening to your dumb friends and actually research. If you did 15 million a year can buy you an all American dline and oline. But you crying about a qb.
