There was a “very emotional” call to LSU prior to his decomittment, I am NOT privy to exact conversation. But did get cliff notes. This was done as a family decision. Nil is not, and I repeat Not the cause. For obvious reasons I can’t reveal motivation directly by Mathews family. But what I can generally say is all recruits are allowed 5 all paid for official visits.Now when families attend these visits the actual treatment of recruits and families vary drastically dependent on if said recruit is already committed elsewhere or open thus getting Red Carpet treatment- Especially 5-Star talent.

So are you saying it looks like his family wants to have a 5 star treatment visit and forced him to decommit just so they can get the red carpet treatment?

nothing dumbass, i was responding to dip shite. melting on a kid this far from signing day is dumb as hell.

It's going to be funny when these kids don't live up to their NIL expectations and the $$ dries up over their College Career.

you know it's gonna happen and create "bad blood"

You will also see some bad blood on teams from the “have’s” and the “have nots”

Can the ncaa step in and put a cap $ per school or will that only push school to leave the ncaa faster?


The NCAA is done. They will end up being a special events planner putting on championships like the basketball tournament. The conferences have all the power now and will have to control it, but if you're a&m, uga, florida, Bama...and Texas, why the hell would you?

Well where this will end up is after the IRS nails a bunch of football players (tax evasion) and boosters for tax violations (trying to run expenses through that are not legal deductions) this will hit the US Congress and it will be subject to regulation. Any recruit from one state signed by school in another state invites cross-state potential racketeering, money laundering and defacto is involved in interstate commerce (Feds).

Federal Government will get involved in this, and I think sooner rather than later.

Wasn’t he supposed to be recruiting for LSU?

But Orgeron is “ahead of this...”!!

Sure. I wasn’t implying that it’s radio silence from the coaches between a verbal commitment and signing day. But now we’ve gone from having a kid who was committed and supposedly helping to bring in other Louisiana kids to not even having him in the barn. I would assume that more time and effort is going to be spent in the latter scenario.

I agree with this, I'd put money you see Oregon as a major player in recruiting now, even more than they are. With ties already in place with Nike how easy will those high end NIL endorsement deals fall into place? How long before the deep snapper or extra point holder at one of the big boys is paid more than entire lower division teams?

Some kind of limit or check should have been implemented. This should have been better thought out before going completely lawless wild west. A set amount of pool money for each team or even a salary cap type limit per position might have worked. Anything to try and keep some resemblance of college football as we know it.

Bye, tired of attention seeking teenagers, whose word mean nothing.

Free market. LOL. You think there is a free market?

---

Well I was using that to make a point, it is a market, but ripe with inefficiencies because it is not a liquid market (Publicly traded stocks, for example).

So no, it is not a Liquid market, i.e. US Stock exchange which requires all publicly traded companies to file with the SEC.

So I used "Free market" in the context that the student athlete is free to negotiate their NIL deal. That is the context, not that the market for NIL dollars is a liquid and efficient market.

Am I being clear now

BAMA now has NIL to filter booster payments, Saban will cherry pick all top recruits. Unfortunately for top recruits, only 22 starters out of 85 scholarships.

Not according the JKMolesterton. Kids can only make money off of social media. No way Bryant Bank is gonna pay the starting QB a million to be on their commercials, social media and print advertising because it's not tax deductible.
