Am I naive to think our guys wouldn’t ask for more NIL or not play in playoff? Nico did

Heupel didn’t have enough headaches preparing for Ohio State, so his starting QB wanted an on-the-spot raise to play the next game the biggest game of the year and for Tennessee the biggest game in thirty years.

I am an art teacher, we have an annual art show. I cannot imagine in the weeks leading up to the event going to my principal and asking for more money or I don’t hang student art. To sabotage a group effort is unthinkable to me.

If one of them did, I’d be totally ok with Kelly telling them to pound sand. And if it’s a key player and we lose then so be it. I don’t get to ask for a raise because I’m about to execute a big project.

A single player the coach can tell to pound sand. What if it's the starting backfield. Or what if both teams hold out?

2 OSU players “renegotiated” prior to the title game.

Yeah it’s a problem.

Yes BayouPride, you are.
These kids care less about the brand they play for by the day.

It's already happened here, just well covered up. Remember, BK runs it like a business.

This bag of worms is getting bigger and bigger. I can only imagine what or when the tipping point will be.

They’ll have to go to a contract model that has tough penalties for breach like in any other business.

This is where NIL gets weird. This started from jersey sales, autographs, video games, etc. We can't call this NIL anymore. If we're negotiating sums to play, then contracts need to be involved. NCAA really needs to figure this out. None of it makes sense anymore.

This is absolutely insane. Pros don’t even deal with this.

What about in the sideline…during a big game? Handshake on a bonus if you get the return out to the 50, or make a big kick, or a crucial sack.

Having an 0/1 success rate and being cut from the team the next year might be a reason for others not to do it though

How do you propose to do this since the money isn't coming directly from the school and NIL cannot be tied to play or performance?

I disagree. I think sone of these kids ONLY care about the brand they play for. The caveat being most play for the brand name on the back of their jersey, not the one on the front.

"First and goal for the Tigers at the Alabama 2 yard line, the Tigers are in position to win it all against a hated rival".

"Wait there appears to be a business man running with a briefcase on to the field (in a really nice suit), he is saying something to the referee. Here comes the explanation, the QB wants to renegotiate his pay before this play can be run...looks like LSU was ready they have people in nice suits going on to the field, it appears one of them has one of those big checks the type you see at golf tournaments".
