Maybe he doesn’t want to have to look for a job

blow all this NIL and transfer portal shite up
its a fn joke


You sound like a non-athletic under achieving couch potato. Lol! Let's not pay the kids so that you can sit on your sofa at 30k per yr and enjoy cheap labor, while playing for millionaire coaches. Go clean your musket.

he obviously isn't good enough, I wonder if he keeps getting jobs because he was an LSU signee and everyone is thinking there has to be something there


He led TX state to a program record # of wins in 2023. Do your research.

honestly, there should really only be one D1 school in Louisiana, the other little schools step for the rent-a-win beat down money, Tulane is borderline

Random thought of the day....I'd love to see a printout of Lindsey Scott and TJ Finley's degree audit/transcripts


Scott actually went to 4 NCAA schools. He spent a semester at JUCO (won a Natty). He really only used the portal twice. All said and done 2 degrees.

Just as they won't restrict the movement of regular students, they are loathe to tie an athlete to any academic institution.


Sounds like capitalism to me!

prime example of how college football is broken


I'm thoroughly enjoying watching kids get paid and have freedom to go where they want. There was time when school integration seemed like innovation. But look at us now!!!

wonderful - his college NIL pay will end after next year.

He'd be far better off, long term, getting a legit degree so he can have a 40+ year career with a solid paycheck.

But I'd bet he's like 90+% of other athletes who study a BS major with few future prospects. Some many athletes waste a free education.

It's shocking to me.

Blame universities for creating these sham degrees. You see the homes some of these kids come from? It’s not shocking they don’t prioritize education

I posted this not seeing yours so going to bump yours lol. But like what the hell are we doing here. 5 schools is just ridiculous. The NCAA continues to sit on their hands and watch this circus show continue.


Soooo... I can

1. Go to as many high-school as I want (assuming bona fide move)
2. Go to as many elementary schools as I want
3. Change jobs as many times as I want
4. Be a coach and leave when ever I want.

But when I become a college athlete, I shouldn't have the same freedoms that a free enterprise system affords. Logoff Putan

Next year will be Tj’s 6th year of college. ULL’s QB, Ben Wooldridge, has been in school since 2018 (this is his 7th year in school, only played at two schools though)

There needs to be a cap on the money and you get 1 transfer in your career.
