Exactly we need a leader. Miami kids don't like Divas. That's why the Gulliver WR got ran off to LSU and why TVD had to go. That soft selfish stuff will kill the locker room.It reads similar to the Rashada situation. Family trying to elongate the process as much as possible so we panic and up thedramatically. We just gotta draw a firm line in the sand somewhere.
I can’t believe programs can raise $1.5-2m for ONE player to begin with even with how important the position is. That’s 1 of your 22 starters.
It is pretty wild; but on the other hand if something like a 1yr - $2m rental is what it takes to showcase what it is possible at the U with good talent...then it's extremely worth it.... If Cam/Will show up and ball out; we have a 10-2 season and make the expanded playoffs then it was money well spent in terms of momentum for everyone....
Just underscores even more on how disproportionately important having a good QB is in this sport. A great one changes EVERYTHING.
I can and that’s the way it should be.
A draft? An AFC vs NFC game? Ridiculous
It's all relative. Just look at NFL QBs in relation to the rest of thr roster. The Browns are paying Deshaun Watson $230M all guaranteed. This, even after his controversial *** trial and sitting out 11 games in 2022.
Sad
. Just like Cam Ward but worst both Dads ruining they kids careers being greedy. NFL and a degree/career is the goal. These ppl don't think about they future they team. ...NIL is just seed money to hold you it's like the XFL thus not a career its minor leagues.
The ROI is still high AF lol
We had one before NIL. It was 0 and bags were plentiful anyway. An NIL salary cap won’t mean anything to the big schools.
Add on a better bowl game and more wins = more attendance (per game as win total goes up)
Better question is a Union. You think it's crazy now that there's (over the table) money involved, just wait until players are able to collectively bargain.
Right... I am all for kids getting a cut of the pie, but it should be from the revenue the schools get from TV, ticket sales, merch, etc... even if that money isn't all coming from one person, I can't imagine donating the type of money that is needed to carry a roster. Especially since that is coming from a smaller donor base given the size of the alumni base compared to other schools. If I had that kind of money, I much rather donate it to some sort of charitable endeavor.
I think this is actually what is holding back there being a collective bargaining agreement as the schools need someone to bargain with. Setting up unions is hard to begin with, now imagine trying to do that across 130+ schools (if we are just talking Division 1 football) with students/players who are typically only there for ~4 years.
