Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

What am I missing?

 

[DawgInterloper]

gotta have this investigation wrapped up before fall camp.. ridiculous this isn’t done

In a sport with professional athletes, no draft, and no contract that binds players to teams, there's only one important factor in building a roster. If a program and its patrons offer the most money, everything else quickly pales in importance and they'll get the top athletes, including both high school recruits and transfers. With college athletes everywhere getting legal money from multiple sources, it's hard to see how this can be regulated IMO.

She tried to let the $hit AD do his job but he doubled down on $hit head and it caused a $hitcano

And he thought (maybe did) he had enough support from boosters to get his way.

They won't be able to regulate it and misguided attempts to do so will most likely cause more problems than the sport had to begin with.

The proverbial "can of worms" has been opened...

This is a good thing for UT imo. Kids will have an excellent platform to make money from

Completely agree. Not sure why so many people are over thinking it.

Because it's brand new, and nobody knows how long it will take for the market to take care of itself, the abuses that will take place, or the consequences on college sports as we know it. All we know is things are going to change.

I agree talent hasn't been the issue since Butch's mega class. It's been a combination of two straight absolute dog sh*t offensive schemes.

Butch could recruit skill position players but his recruitment of the line of scrimmage was straight trash.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

From recent articles, deals absolutely cannot be dependent on a player going to a specific school.

Now...how much that can be stretched...yeah who knows.

Deals will be drafted but not signed till NSD for booster related deals

So nobody gets paid before signing, and payments stop if they are no longer with the team? Boosters are getting the best deal here!

 

[UpstateVol613]

Is Beamer pushing really hard for commitments like used car salesman hard? Do we think they will stick through the season?

 

[LA Vol]

Good to have you back around. Hope you and yours are doing well.

We're all happily unmasked and enjoying being back to (almost) normal. Life good at the InVOL house? How's your dad?

 

[Smokeytom]

I’ll allow it

Yep, college sports just changed bigtime. It's going to be impossible to regulate everything, and not everyone is going to play by a vague set of rules. Schools like UT that have been proactive in helping athletes structure and profit from deals can use that to their advantage. Other schools will be at a disadvantage unless they become more lenient in what they allow SAs to do.

The nature of some of these deals make focus a legit concern.

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

My biggest question with NIL. What will prevent businesses whose owners are fans of certain universities from offering deals to good players from other schools in exchange for the player's commitment to transfer to said owner's school of choice?
