Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Your turn. Give me a list of your favorites and the ones you don't like. Let me know why you feel the way you do about them.

Show me how to refute, BOT
How to refute? Easy. Find someone who has different information regarding the same situation as Hooker did. Say you like Basilio or Swain? Then find if they have discussed the same things as Hooker and see if they have conflicting information. Pretty basic stuff you should be able to handle.

Look Hooker hasn’t been right about everything. But he has been right about quite a bit over the years. For the record, Hooker is big time pro Nico.
 

Love the idea of the kids having to pay a buyout if they transfer.

Also think these contracts should be a 2 year minimum with penalties if they try to transfer before the 2 years.

Contracts eliminate the stupid off season negotiations….at least for the first 2 years.
 


I can’t stand Geno and I don’t agree with him much, but I do here. Let’s call it what this really is. It’s semi-professional sports and sign kids to contracts and there needs to be a penalty for leaving a program and entering the portal. Call it what it is and govern it accordingly.

Yeah unfortunately the bulk of NIL is coming from the universities and the fans of said university...not at all how NIL -should- work, but how it's working in college.

As such I think a 24 month contract would help eliminate the "my value has gone up!" BS. And if these players are smart they'll look at the professional leagues a bit to build in incentives for development.

Buyouts wouldn't be awful, but I could see that a bit harder to regulate. If the payment is for the Name, Image, or Likeness of said athlete then them moving teams doesn't exactly negate them being paid...they're not losing their product (NIL) in this case, only switching markets. Nike doesn't require Durant to pay back a portion of his endorsement because he switched teams ya know?

This is why so many people have you on ignore. You either pick at posters during bad games (especially when everyone is already ticked off) or like today, you posted some trash click bait about a fan favorite, just because it had a controversial headline. When someone iniates you in the topic and gives you their point of view (with examples), you respond back with something like "I need more examples" or "do your own research and post it" or "refute". I never mentioned Basilio, so that tells me you didn't really read my post.

To be honest, I knew earlier what I was getting into but replied anyways. We do this a lot...... you @ me anytime I mention a referee because it's your chance to "troll" me and that's fine, sometimes I'll bite but it's not as fun as it used to be. Having debates on here is good but anymore you just want to waste people's time.

love the idea. Absolutely love it.

Kids won’t go for it.

HS/College kids are about to start a professional payment system that benefits them, the players,not the Owners/Universities

Everything the NFL players have now they negotiated for. These kids today are starting with all the power……if they don’t get what they want, they won’t play. Universities are going to have to negotiate with them.

They will unionize.

Read an article from Dallas Fort Worth that 4 candidates if Deion does work out are:


Kellen Moore
Pete Carroll (Which makes zero sense )
Kliff Kingsbury
Jason Witten

You believe Witten is a pipedream?
Witten is not ready! That’s a modern day Gerry Faust story. Could see it with some intermittent development stops along the way.

Product will probably drop off, but the college kids don't have any power.

NFL there's a small percentage of players that can/do play at that level. But the amount of HS kids that will still come play for universities just for a free ride and room & board with no concern for making a lick off NIL is through the roof.

Are they as good as the kids they'd replace, no. But would fans really care, not one bit.

That's why some Junior Colleges have stadiums that rival Power 4 schools and why there are 5 divisions for college football and why even though over 850 college teams exist they all still are able to fill out a roster AND turn away kids even.

NIL is a good thing, but if these select few that are actually making big paydays think they have the power and try to sit out they'll get replaced while waiting on the elevator.
