Not only that, but take a kid who comes from poverty and hand him $10 million +.

Think he's going to work hard in the weight room and watch film on the weekends?

works for the NFL.

and its more than likely not a $10 million dollar check when he shows up. its probably structured into payments across the assumed length of the deal.

It’s not going to matter how many high school students can’t handle the money. There will be more right behind them waiting to take their places.

What’ll matter is booster fatigue and heaven help us fan fatigue.

Nobody has ever cared about any minor league or semipro sport that I ever knew of. First time for everything I guess.

How is that, given that college football has been a minor league for the NFL for decades?

Louisville Redbirds sold @1mil tickets in the 80s when the Cards' AAA moved to Louisville, going over 1mil once.
But your point is valid and Louisville is the only exception I can think of atm.

It'll be interesting to see how long they can hold it together. Maybe forever, I don't know.

I just know I pay nothing. Literal nothing.

It's an investment. And when the players are bouncing around for the next big check, they are not establishing their 'brand.' Whatever that may mean. Eventually the ROI from these collectives will not show the double digits they require.

I would go so far to speculate that Rashada was told the money he was paid to get to ASU did not allow for him to be hte back up and he might need to seek his money somewhere else. If I was UGA I would have seriously considered that he never could break the top spot at ASU before they spent the money to get him there. A fool and his money are soon departed.

Reports are he didn't get anything to go to ASU, and I'm not sure UGA is offering him a whole lot.

I could definitely be wrong though, just speculation.

Thx. Wasn't sure about all that. He blew his deal backing out of Miami.

Kirby Smart Comments On Georgia QB Jaden Rashada & His Lawsuit With Florida

One of the big offseason storylines in the SEC is Jaden Rashada's lawsuit against Florida head coach Billy Napier over an alleged failed $13.85 million NIL deal
www.secrant.com

I was thinking after I read this story (Ga Coach saying he had no part in Rashada suing Napier/UF booster) that if I were an attorney for either Rashida’s family or UF, I’d be asking for transcripts of any/all communication between Plaintiff (Jaylen Rashada) and UGA’s public employees (Kirby and the former staffer.

It’s a bit comical to me actually but I can’t help but think Pruitt learned how to “cheat” under Kirby (at UGA) and even Nick (at UA).

Sunshine is a great disinfectant… Here’s hoping we can all see WTH is going down within UGA’s and UF’s athletic programs 😎

What has really changed the sport are the transfer rules. Way more so than NIL. These situations where guys are playing for 3-4 different schools in their career that have almost become routine wouldn't happen.

Even if NIL didn't exist, guys would still be moving around all over the place looking for more playing time, a better under the table deal, etc.

Agree. NIL isn't the problem, as it's always been there in one form or another, but the unrestricted ability to transfer pretty much at will is a complete game changer. If it is not corralled to some degree, I don't believe it's good for the sports or the kids themselves, who won't learn the value of commitment. But maybe that's just a long time fan's viewpoint.

How is it going to be "corraled"? Per the injunction in the Ohio vs NCAA case, it is illegal for the NCAA to limit transfers or restrict them in any way.

Maybe they should have learned it from their parents with a +50% divorce rate on something far more important than football?

maybe they should have learned it from their coaches who barely stay at their jobs for 4 years on average?

maybe they should have learned it from the universities that made millions of dollars off of them while denying the players their rights?

nah, lets put 100% of it on the kids.

Relax, I'm not putting anything 100% on the kids, and don't disagree with any of the points you're alleging I said a single word about in my post.

But if unfettered transfers are a good thing, why limit them at all? Why are there specific times of the year that players can enter the portal? If you get pulled from a game on Saturday, you should be able to transfer on Sunday, right? Then you'll have all week to practice with your new team in time for the next game.

Since the NCAA, schools, coaches and parents are allowed to be dysfunctional, why should we expect any more from the kids?
