He pulled the ole John David Booty

I just feel like companies who invest in these prospects will no see the return.

I'm not so sure the incentive is to see a return. More so, I think it an easy way to get the elite players into the school of your choice.

I could not imagine at TCU if we had some 17 year old come in, who hasn't proven anything yet, who hasn't been a part of the workouts, practices, film room sessions, treatments, meetings, and all the work that goes into it, and is all of a sudden making hundreds of thousands of dollars.

would you want the top talent on your team or not????

muh locker room unity

Most of these athletes are held back to begin with for athletic purposes
He’s just rejoining his real age class

t’s not really summer school. Most kids in Texas can easily enter their senior year with only one English class needed for graduation. That’s why you see so many early graduates and December graduates in Texas.

My daughter will be a sophomore this year and has not taken any summer classes. She has two HS credits from 8th grade (math and science), and will enter her senior year only needing an English credit to graduate. She’ll likely take a couple of electives and then do an internship. That’s a pretty common track.

exactly. I graduated in 2001 and I only needed english 4 to graduate and could have easily taken it over the summer or anytime and that was without any credits in middle school. I mean i took other classes like calculus and physics but I didnt have too and only took those 3 classes and football my senior year and that was 20 years ago.

The Ewers are being a little disingenuous, as the UIL has said they don’t have any NIL rules yet, as the college rules governed it. Obviously they don’t want it getting out of hand with open offers going out to kids to get them to move high schools, so they said you can’t do it right now. They will get rules in place soon, and HS kids will be able to profit.

true, but understand this, the NIL rules for college are not set in stone yet. He risk them changing the rules where there is a cap or it is shared money etc and he risk losing out on hundreds of thousands. It was a very adult decision he made. He isnt the first to do this, John David Booty made the same kind of decision 15 years ago...just for different reasons.

with all that being said......frick this is stupid. I hate all of this shite. I am 100% for players being able to profit off NIL in theory, but this went exactly like i thought it would....fricking the whole sport up and now we are headed to a simple no coference, top 32-48 teams in a league simply called college football. frickED UP EVERYTHING!!!

to me this was simple and the sumpreme court fricked this up.

-ncaa is voluntary org
-accepting a scholly is a voluntary org

essentially if the NCAA wants to fix this bullshite, they need to make this shite an internship. You get paid the schollly and the room and board and the other benifits and a monthly salary that is reasonable. Make them employees and make them sign contracts that say they can not accept NIL money with the arguement that it could mess up the image of the company and cant hold other jobs.

Its all bullshite!!! If you told these kids who are bitching...I will pay you the following for a 4 year internship

-250k in scholly money for a back up plan
-36k a year
-free room and board
-free food
- full benifits including all medical is free
-100k/year in private training for your profession
-all expenses paid

any reasonable person would jump on that deal.
