Absolutely! My parents would have beaten my ass if I had backed out of a deal. We had money,( and yes, much more than 250,000) that was never an issue. I was raised to keep your world and never break deals. Obviously kids these days don't follow that, but it's just as much the parents fault for letting them act like idiots. Not all are like that, but you get the picture.

Obviously not high 7 figure's, but I've definitely turned down 60-80k raises for another company, simply because I was happy where I was. There's ZERO loyalty these days.

That’s easy to sit and say but respectfully you said money was never an issue but some don’t have that luxury. I completely understand what you are saying and I was raised the same way

I guess I should look at it from both sides. This day and age there's no loyalty and pride towards the state schools. We've seen it. Players being lifelong Vol fans and ending up going elsewhere. Hell, look at Bo Nix. His Dad and name were Auburn Royalty. Yet leaves for a better opportunity.

You see some players that are on their 4th or even 5th school. There's no more waiting and earning your chance anymore.

Then we have Ricky Gibson, who agreed on a new NIL Deal, then 2 Months later uses an injured teammate to try and leverage more money. I personally had hoped they would let his ass walk. That's just going to cause more issues down the road.
