Kevin Green now only 40 more... :lol:

You imply that you have knowledge of these terms that would invalidate my responses.


You said these contracts are only a year. They are over a year in some cases. I provided an example at UGA of the lineman going to Mizzou. The contract was written, he signed & by taking some money off the contract he then jumped to Mizzou thus triggering that he owes UGA the worth of the contract for that entire contract
quote:


Whatever agreements there are are only on a yearly basis.


Not anymore. Some are multi-year. I believe UGA is suing a former player who signed a 14 month contract but jumped into the portal after taking ~30K or so and being sued for ~400K or so as memory serves. Others are trying over a year.

I am glad UGA is doing it as they are sticking to the contract where the player wasn't...

THE Jones


quote:

- You cannot leave a paid position for another paid position for 2 to 4 years


If you have a contract that you signed for that length then yes unless there is an early release or penalty clause. Same now is happening in college

quote:

- You must be loyal and and complimentary to an employer even if they are poorly managed

Depends if there are penalties in your contract. PR is important part now

quote:

- You must accept lower compensation than the market says you have earned

Again contract terms

Players wanted to be paid...well welcome to adulthood we are now paying kids a lot of money to play a sport in college. It is no longer an amateur sport so they need to own up to the contract they signed.

Many kids sign a contract right out of HS to put their lives on the line. Not easy to get out of if you don't like the management or working conditions. At least these athletes are making a lot more money.
Deuce is also hitting the portal if the rumors are true

Sorry so I see it was posted in the portal pin thread above....didn't mean to over report

Sometimes when there are no other sports on...watching the College Womens bowling playoff can be interesting...

Lord I just realized, I have a sports watching problem...

LOL I can't watch soccer nor will I ever watch it...

So where is the clutching of pearls with M Simmons in the portal? He was more productive than Coleman but I didn't see a 8 plus page thread on him leaving...

Maybe we need more than one piece to keep. We need a lot to be competitive again. Even if we kept a lot of folks we need better folks to be competitive. Also for WR in this new offense we need some fast guys that can catch more than one on the field at a time. Ones that are hustling every play. So use the money from Coleman and get some better than average WRs that can get down the field & catch these 10 plus routes. But if we don't get linemen then forget it.
quote:

That is because Auburn is a bad football program right now and spent the last two years making it worse by hiring a fake crippled leader.


Totally agree but I don't think we are the worst team...Ar-Kansas says hello..

I want to give Golesh time as he has to fundamentally change the culture. If we have all of our high paid folks leave well maybe we were overpaying. We change the culture and start winning. When we start winning & make the playoffs we will have people wanting to come & play. I like the incentive NIL that we have adopted.
quote:

Well, a lot of ours are doing the same.


Remember that OSU didn't have a whole staff when they hired their new coach. He still had a bowl game left to play. So I imagine he is hitting his old school to meet the new coaches & support staff. He left campus not knowing who his position coach was or other members as his new coach was coaching at his old school..I would imagine some of our guys would be similar...

That was the biggest hire since he will keep this roster intact. Can't wait to see our Returning D


How many of the D leaving are Durkin's guys? How much have we overpaid for the past 3 years. Seems like we are back to alignment with this staff...
Pete - Nice bass. That color not my favorite but still nice looking.

Spots - Enjoy the trip long day going out there but decent fishing

Trini - I caught something like that in Africa & something else in Asia my joints are still aching. See the world they said...Join the Navy...LOL...many good years of being able to see the world many times in not so popular with the tourist spots...

Always cool to play or use something you build.

I have built a few pieces of furniture over the years with no so fancy tools but was extremely satisfied with the builds.
