Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Tennessee Golfer]

I think that's the whole thing right there. Overpay for a guy who underplays, you just wasted money on a gamble.

Make the offer contingent on production.

@LA Vol what about the new proposed NIL rule to allow athletes and school to negotiate NIL deals… I think this will create a governing body of NIL to set the market. Thoughts???

I won't speak for him but I think it would bad for unis to get involved. Collectives insulate schools from lawsuits/disputes. And should a mega lawsuit come down on them, they can always file for bankruptcy. If unis negotiate and get sued, taxpayers are on the hook which brings up issues, imo.

You have to double your pledge. ‘Tis portal season you know.

Ohhhh. So you wanted the 24hr log in package. Well now, that’s gonna cost ya.

It's a wonderful life, hands down. And I watch every Christmas Carol every year.

I have never seen It's a Wonderful Life and don't plan to watch it. @ me if you must.

 

[drvenner]

The Christmas Carol...

Greatest Christmas Movie ever...

Love Actually is a pretty dang good Christmas movie.

AP says don't get your hopes up about Wells

injury history vs what he's asking for are not adding up

So, we ain't got any juice in this one?

 

[volinbama256]

It was posted upthread but it was to the effect that his injury history wasn't worth the asking price. To me that's a NFL type concern *if* he's healthy for next season.

Tennessee's luck, we won't go his asking price because of the injury concern, so he goes to Texas and balls out all next year and we watch and think what coulda been. Definitely a gamble and an understandable one... guess we'll know by Monday.

See some discussion of Rucker still this morning. You all are forgetting that last night was only the 3rd or 4th dumbest tweet he has ever made. Nothing will EVER surpass this gem of a stupid ass post.

I never saw this one. That. Is. Awful.

So, we ain't got any juice in this one?

Nope. The well’s dry.

Really wish there was a way for them to have created cap to all of this that everyone had to follow--- make it a tier system, with the max being $1M... That's the most for any individual player, then $750k, $500K, $250K, etc...

When everyone has the same guidelines, then it falls back on recruiting and selling the school, staff, etc... If the most I can make is $1M, and 3-4 schools are offering, then it comes down to where do I really want to play, go to school...

I know then it would filter back to the ways of the past doing backdoor deals for extra amounts off the books, but at least there's a baseline to go by for most players and schools.

no no no.... I've said from the beggining that this NIL stuff is great. Leave it an open free market. What needs to be regulated once again is transfers. Why did they ever open that up. It ought to be a mandatory sit for one year, no exceptions, no matter the circumstance. You can't even ask for an exception. Then we wouldn't have all these people entering the portal... It's the transfer portal that's messed up, not NIL.

My theory is that NCAA did that on purpose, knowing it would be crazy like we're seeing it now.

and i'm against schools paying players. If private individuals or businesses want to spend their money in that fashion then so be it.

From the Sports Business Journal



Former MLBer Dave Stewart has "played a leading role," and the Music City Baseball BOD has added Former NFLer and Tennessee State football coach Eddie George and Negro Leagues Baseball Museum President Bob Kendrick. The group’s public relations efforts have been “remarkably effective,” and by now, Nashville’s selection as the first of two MLB expansion candidates is “widely assumed as a foregone conclusion.”

Hells Yes. And Dave Stewart could sling it.

He deleted it, but the UF program is in rough shape:

Burn it down

Make the offer contingent on production.

unfortunately you cannot do that

The policy also forbids NIL compensation tied to “specific athletic performance or achievement,” such as “financial incentives based on points scored.” While the policy acknowledges that “athlete performance may enhance” an athlete’s “NIL value”, such performance can’t be used as “consideration” for “athlete NIL competition. Therefore, college athlete endorsement deals won’t contain incentive clauses tied to touchdown passes or points per game, etc.

My kids go to his high school

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Burn it down

Til there's nothing but gator ASHES

Even though those gator ashes will still somehow find a way to beat us or almost complete a miraculous 4th quarter comeback and then get blown out the rest of the season.

 

[BigSteve09]

If this passes, it is infuriating.

This is the NCAA's hail mary, and they're leaning on politics to get it through.

What happens to the Sounds when Nashville gets a full MLB team?

The Sound of Silence

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

Dude looks fat. Don't want.

Try this one.

SIAP, but Dobbs will get the start on Sunday against the Raiders.

I am a Raiders fan. I hope the Vikes beat them 60-0.
