Yeah, seems like some kids can't look past the first big payday. Long term NIL won't make you rich, too many families and friends leech these athletes dry. Taking the fast/easy money is why so many end up broke within a few years of hanging it up.


Free transfer though, when Deion bails he can follow him to the next spot OR go get wine & dined a second time for a new team.

He sure as hell didn't go to Colorado for the nil that's for sure lol.

I do think the free trasnfer helps too against the narrative Deion will jump at first chance. Another base covered.

Still think a good, maybe somewhat desperate P5 school with an opening would be crazy not to take a shot on him.

Plz pray for me and the OH and well my family too. His mind just isn't there and IDK if it's ever coming back. The spells he has last longer and longer. He got mad and hit me today (not hard or anything) but still he got aggressive and combative. He finally calmed down but my parents are now pushing a nursing home and I don't want that - hell I can't deal with that. He doesn't know what world he's in right now and I feel so completely helpless. I just want him to calm down so I can care for him. That's all I want. I'll do everything else.

Prof I hope you being able to vent on here brings you some peace. And I know you reading these responses mean a lot to you as they did for me when my father passed away. You’re in for a really tough road. I pray that you have the strength and resolve on your weakest days. Make sure you have people you can talk to when you’re feeling really down and frustrated. And if that’s us on here, so be it.

He 100% got an NIL deal, and a good one. Deion has enough money to side fund a collective to get him paid.

Of course I'm not denying an nil deal. Close to 100% of kids are getting those I'm sure.

I'm saying no way it was anywhere close to those other 4 programs (OSU, UT, Oregon, FSU). At all. That is not a $$$ program and no way Deion's funding $10mill a year to fund match others. Forbes estimates his grand total net worth at only $45mil

I had a real feeling the kid (Seaton) was playing us...but I was hoping he had some sense...this doesn't necessarily mean the kid doesn't have sense though...I can see how he could see it being a good opportunity.

If Deion continues to lose 7-8 games, he will get bored and quit or get fired and the kid can transfer to a great program at that point with a shot at a title...on the other hand if Deion does well and uses that success to land a gig at a real power player...then the kid can go with him and have a shot at a title that way...

Either way he probably sees this as massive publicity that he can capitalize on and still go somewhere else later if he needs to.

It's as good or better. Deion can make sure kids get paid. He got that 5* kid to a D2 school when everyone wanted him.

Deon is very connected. I'd be willing to bet he got a bunch of cash under the table.

Connected to who though? Pro athletes with absolutely no connection to CU?

"Oh hey here's a few million to help recruit some kid I've never heard of because we're just good friends!"

Quite a theory, but I'm not buying it. His friends are in their 50s+. If you've held onto millions for that long, you're not throwing it away for some damn rando hs kid for a program you dgaf about
