You really don't think money was exchanging hands and "offers" were being dealt before NIL?

Of course it was. But the money was pennies in comparison to today.

Any comparisons to the past are intellectually lazy.

Oh okay I thought you were implying players weren't getting paid back then. I think it was still a good chunk of change but I agree that it wasn't on this level.

how stupid does this look when teams bid for an athlete and then he ends up not working out and they paid him all this money for nothing.


Almost as bad as paying a coach not to coach

That’s how it’s always been but with NIL, it’s out in the open.


Not at this scale, IMO

Premier guys, yes

This is everything wrong now with college sports. Kid and his family pitting schools against each other to get him to sign with nothing to make sure he actually stays.

A big reason I care less and less every year about the team.

Is this guy that good?


I thought the current model was to get an experienced signs caller out of the portal now, and not hang your hat on a freshman Qb?

I know lane was trying to get him at ole miss.

As far as what amount he’s worth, we don’t know how much the bidding is so can’t really say one way or the other.

i always thought this

doesn’t make much sense tbh

HS recruits haven’t yet proved themselves in in college

that NiL money could be better spent on the transfer portal

So your model is to live off the chance of getting lucky in the portal and never recruit another QB again?

As long as we keep paying rising ticket and parking prices, this runaway train won’t stop. Couple that with TV revenues, expanding conferences, expanding playoffs and this is what you get AAA NFL.
Pay all student athletes the same. Open the portal one time- after the season. 1
Week. Before national signing day. The ONLY national signing day. Must stay at a school minimum 2 years and you get 1 transfer.
