Is there anything to this?

That’s been out there for the last week. Nobody knows the full story.

Hyams (yeah I know everyone hates him) said he's confident in his sources that there was a Banks/ Hooker confrontation but that it wasn't about NIL.

Hyams said it was about stepping on the T and not doing the push ups though. Hyams says Hooker called Banks out for not doing the push-ups.

This will be a problem with all teams even though they have a shared fund that includes everyone, when that QB comes driving to practice in a Corvette those linemen will start grumbling. Its even worse than the NFL because there are really no rules at this point. I can see players staying the full 4 years in the future because the money is better.

My suspicion/theory stems from the rumor that Banks got in trouble and was going to miss the game (coaches decision). Hooker called him out on this and that divided the locker room. I don't think it was NIL related.

Honestly, the whole idea that players are asking for "NIL" money is ridiculous.

Most aren't active on social media. They have no "brand" to speak of. Very few people even know their names.... and they're asking for money for their name, image and likeness? Let's at least call it what it is..... It's free agency under the guise of NIL.

And if that's how it's going to be..... cool. Let's do it right. Establish a cap. Setup payroll. And let's get 'em paid based on performance. But calling it NIL is a joke.

Everybody is ignoring the elephant in the room. Gambling has been allowed into college football...well, into everything. How long do you really think it's gong to take before players/officials/coaches are being contacted (paid) to throw games? Do you think they are all immune to the lure of $xxx,xxx in a brown bag? I'm flabbergasted to think that people don't realize just how easy it would be. All you need is one key person to determine the outcome of a game, and with legal gambling on every other commercial, you know the money is there.

I have a decent background in statistics. Things like mean, median, mode, standard deviation, etc. are tools I kinda understand. While watching the USCe game I couldn't shake these thoughts. How many standard deviations above the mean was that game? I know, sounds like bull, but when you have results falling outside your 3 SD's (sigma) you are probably witnessing an outside influence.
