You are privy to the amount of back channel communication our coaching staff has with players on other teams? Dude, that is awesome. I would love to see where you find that information. Did you find it by asking one of the new AI programs? If it is really that easy to find our coaches need to start doing a much better job of being secretive about that communication.
Insiders who know, answer me this...what would stop a team or coach from a program tha wanted to wreak havok on another program from reaching out to various key players and offering them higher than market value at key positions to enter the portal just to get the current program to overpay to keep the player and subsequently lowering their overall purchasing power for the next recruiting class?
He kind of has. He won't be involved in workouts or spring ball. He has tarnished an opportunity to show leadership and instead became an employee who got a raise and after learning a coworker is on maternity/paternity leave is demanding another raise two months later. It's ridiculous behavior. Dude just put himself on the chopping block. Call the bluff and tell him to pack his **** from the locker room and facilities, enjoy being an average student this semester.
Maybe you shouldn’t be allowed to make more than the NFL league minimum, and if you do you have to go pro, thats what 240k. Kinda of capping college and encouraging staying where you think will give you the best development before going to the league. Still a salary most joes would sell a finger/toe for.
You can't do that. You'd be paying him more than Boo and McCoy possibly. Then you have to pay them more. Then you have to give everyone a raise for the adjusted inflation.
I think we will pick up an extra in the spring now, but this is an opportunity to move Boo out to CB and you have Beasley and McMurray to work with until McCoy returns. Maybe those two are good enough to move Boo back to S or Star after McCoy is back.
Moving Boo to an outside CB spot is not an “opportunity.” That’s not his natural position. He’s perfect for the Star. We need another true outside CB to step up or transfer in…probably both.
McMurray is good enough.
Acting like "getting $100K more" won't affect the decision-making of an 18-22 year old, lol? It would affect most 22-80 year olds. That is significant money. Does that mean that sometimes when they weight their options it might be best to take a little less money for a better situation, yes for sure. But $100K more money is significant. If someone offered me a job today that paid $100K more next year than my current salary I would have an awfully hard time turning it down. And I am settled into my house with a child. A college football player does not have to worry about selling and buying a house and making their kids change schools.
