You losers that get upset over these guys making money are a special kind of pathetic.
Loser? Are you saying the reason he stayed was not related to getting paid?
This isn’t about loving your school and playing for pride. It is about money. I don’t mind them getting paid a wage that is commensurate with the level of participation and their performance. Also, I do insist on them paying for their education including food, shelter, tuition, etc no different than other students. If the package includes tuition, etc. then they need to pay taxes on that as earned income like the rest of adults do.
To quote the late great O.B. Keeler when writing about Bobby Jones and his insistence on remaining an amateur.

I don't think Brian Kelly is installing a locker room culture that would make this acceptable. Orgeron let the inmates run the asylum, but the new sheriff is all about accountability with your teammates.
And I think if Kelly thought a kid was doing that he would seriously consider kicking them off the team to send a message.
I don't fully disagree with you, but I think kicking him off the team would be a little far fetched in today's culture.
Alabama is probably the last P5 program in the country that draws kids that you can "send a message to".
The portal allows for this.

Money motivates people? No frickin way huh?
I’d like to think that free clothes, food, housing, education, tutoring, etc would be a little motivation as well. But I get it. Put up or shut up, right?

Melvin, if you are going to lecture others here about money and advise as to who are winners and “losers” in that arena, maybe you could share your credentials on the issue.
Are you a big money “winner”?
If so, please share how you accomplished this lofty status.
Lots of folks here want to know your secrets!

I'm sure it is some motivation. But so is money. You aren't under the impression that major recruits play at major D1 programs for the college education, are you? If so, good lord just open your eyes and think about it for like 10 seconds. They're here to get to the NFL. LSU benefits from them getting to the NFL and are wise to provide them basic benefits like housing and food and more advanced benefits like workout facilities, etc., even if they want to make a little bit of money on the side doing a Raisin Canes ad or some shite.

I’m not saying they should not make money. I am 100% supportive of people making as much as they possibly can make in their life. What I am saying is there’s a cost for everything including that education and housing and other benefits such as training and getting prepared for a job if we’re considering what they’re doing future work like you stated. When they go to these performance centers, they are paying for that.
If they are getting those benefits, they need to pay for it in the money that they make. Or they need at least to pay the taxes on those benefits that other people are not afforded by going to college and getting an education. It has to be equitable. I say let them all get drafted out of high school and go to the USFL or some other minor-league system. Let’s get rid of college football or any other college sport where athletes get paid but don’t want to pay taxes on that benefit and pay for their education like other students.
Because without the fricking students and alumni fans supporting this entitled arse system, their asses would be doing who knows what. How about that?

No dumbass. It is about paying taxes on earned income. How about paying fricking property taxes instead of riding off of people like me for years. I’m so fricking far right, Fox is too libtardness for me.

So you’re saying you want things to be equitable? You sound like a Maoist.

Well if Culotta said it, it HAS to be true.

I want people like you to put up or shut the frick up. You don’t fund, you have no voice. How much more clear can I be?
These kids making money with NIL should pay like I did my last couple of years of college if they are making money.
Again, I’m not against of making money. I am against of getting a free fricking ride in life. Believe me when I say this, I’ve donated to LSU for 45+ years now and still can’t believe pissants who have not paid shite should feel like they have a voice.

Im sorry that your college years turned you into a libtard commie who loves taxation. It happens to a lot of kids that age and is nothing to be ashamed of. I just think differently than you and feel that US citizens should not be restricted from making money on their name. It’s just not the American way and you are free to disagree with that and that’s what makes this country so great!

Kayshon is openly lobbying for Nussmeier to be the starter come the fall and I hope he gets his wishes.

Lolololololol. One reason why I left that shite hole La and moved home was because LA is full of full blown liberals unlike the Republic of Texas. Being an oil executive and still have a ton of family members working for petrochemical industry should tell you how I have voted long before returds like you were in Nutville.
I’ll say it again. I am FULLY supportive in the player making legitimate money on NIL. There should be a cap and the players value should be based on their respective value. No argument.
Part of that salary is the cost of clothing, feeding, housing, and educating the STUDENT athlete. This isn’t free and should be part of their respective package that is contractual and performance based if they are going to be adults.
As far as their package, that NiL money is taxable income. No denying or hiding that thus they have to file taxes. That additional income in scholarships is tax exempt under current laws unless the student is a grad student and receiving income. Since they are now paid professionals either they pay for their education and training for their job training ie NFL or go get training elsewhere.
