Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Orangeburst]

This is getting rather complicated. To allieve my difficulty, I am going to fall back on If Sankey is for It, then I am against it.

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

Yep. Stewart is one of my all-time favorite actors. A tad overboard at times in this one. He's much better with Hitchcock tho. He's at his best in Harvey.

If this passes, it is infuriating.

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

I don't believe it will pass. It's clearly a Hail Mary and they excluded major players.

If it does? It’ll last as long as it takes for the opposition to secure a stay and appeal it all the way to the Supreme Court.

DC involved.,what could go wrong?

Quiet coaching.

I hate to think this is where we are at….

"May you live in interesting times"

Well...we certainly are.

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.

WHAT??? Why in the world would tweet that? Good grief Wes

My kids go to his high school

This guy and "Dr. Dunkenstein' Darrell Griffith who played at Louisville...
Two of best dunkers lots of people haven't even seen....

 

[peaygolf]

I know y’all don’t like him, but dang I wish he was staying in Clarksville

 

[Jackcrevol]

They cant even field a football team.

"If athletes are employees that "earn income", then we can tax it and give ourselves are raise!"

- Politicians (prolly)

He forget "Out Meth" and "Out Coke".

If Nashville did get a team, I think it would need to be in the AL.
With the Braves and Cardinals close by and both in the NL I don't see Nashville pulling those fans.

And Cincinnati also in the NL within driving distance.

Apparently he is taking everyone from Peays current staff with him. Ive had the opportunity to speak with him a couple of times and what you see is what you get with him. Sometime a little cheesy but he can motivate his football team.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Make the offer contingent on production.

That’s how it happens in the real world and honestly the way all these deals should be. They get a base salary, and then production incentives.

Why would a Nashville team be in Alabama?

Definitely needs to be an AL team. Hopefully the Rays

Expansion team

Demographic reasons..should be put in N.L. East and ship Washington Nationals to American League East...

Or even better scenario ship Mets to American League East with the Yankees.

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.

Understand but how can you tell a kid how much their "name" is worth? Is different than a salary technically. We all know it really is a salary but.....

Be like the PGA being able to limit Tiger Woods on how much he can make in endorsements. That'd go over like a ton of bricks.

Once the schools are the ones paying the athletes a cap could work. I think that is what will happen very soon. Then NIL deals would be a bonus on top of that and be more like they are supposed to be.

We pretty much just talk about football but what about other sports? The gymnast from LSU makes more than most football players and it's truly based on NIL. Amount of social media followers and such and how much she can influence a brand.

Until the athletes are employees I don't see how any limit could stand up in court.
