Jeremy Banks out tonight

Seriously, that has been my major fear from the start with this NIL thing. Jealousy in the locker room. I really hope this rumor with Banks isn’t true and that it was just a petty disagreement. Thinking though that it was something more serious than stepping on the T. You don’t leave your defensive leader home for a skirmish over that. And if it’s an injury, Heupel should be clear with that immediately.

If true…I bet the underlying issue was this. NIL seems like a cancer ready to spread across every program..in every locker room.

Well one is a Heisman candidate, feel good story who writes kids books and the other is a kid who is seemingly unappreciative that he got a second chance to be a part of this team. NIL value has as much to do with how promotable you are. Hooker is. Banks isn’t.
And if that’s a problem for Banks and some of the others, get rid of them.

He’s exactly right so what’s your point?

Never said he wasn't. No particular point was implied, merely my interpretation of what I read.

There doesn't always have to be "reading material" between the lines....

NIL was a bad idea.
It really doesn't matter if other players are justified in their resentment.
It is and will be a locker room cancer for all teams.

Had it been an injury he would have been dressed out in street clothes or coach would have said he got banged up this week and is being held out.

If these kids believe this then no NFL locker room is gonna want you. If the story is true, banks quite literally costed himself millions. Nfl has massive disparity in pay, guess what, the best players get paid the most.

NFL contract of anything is what they play for. To get in the league and make a roster means you have a chance to make life changing money…goal is getting the first contract. After that get the year 3 contract to make multi-millions

Yall need to stop trying to explain away the defenses terrible play as they were mad and revolted. It is a losers mentality. They couldn't stop an average FCS school if they played it last night. It's on the coaches and the players regardless of any underlying animosity. Players don't go on the field to intentionally fail for one player.

It's like the same Tyler Bray story all over again. Some of y'all have no idea what it's like once you step on the field.

If anything they weren't ready to compete and Banks being out seems like a last minute thing at a position we could not afford to lose. I don't think the defense tried to send a message they were mad about it.

No nfl room is paying Jeremy Banks a dime now.

If Banks killed the season with his drama coupled with past disciplinary issues and fumbles when RB, then he will go down in history as the most cancerous player to wear the T.

Seriously, would anyone be surprised if Banks is all about $, zero indication he is a team guy, from behavior early (disrespect to Police ring a bell), that is engrained behavior, me first, take all I can attitude.

Hooker vs. Banks could not be more opposite.

Agree. Team player would never be used to describe him. He shouldn't have been allowed back on the team the 1st time IMO

I think they're saying the NIL deals are bad for college players. I said the same thing when it all started being discussed years ago. Look at A&M. All those new highly recruited kids probably got huge deals while the starters didn't. This needs fixed and quickly with the NCAA.

I'm just discussing the NIL in general, I have no idea why Banks wasn't playing tonight whether it was that or something else.
