Dabo loses another one. Beautiful.

Truth be told all 99.99% of these players including 5 stars are not worth what they want to get from NIL and that’s a hard pill to swallow for them. The intention was to let them profit off themselves not get paid handouts from businesses.

Agreed. Felt like it was more of a change driven by the "content creator" market that exist now. A starting QB at a big D1 school with a ton of followers on IG or YouTube or TikTok shouldn't have to forfeit any money he makes there from sponsored ads, brand deals, or view generated revenue.

So other programs boosters and local business are ponying up million dollar deals for players. And the best our cheapskate bum boosters can afford is some free Gus’s chicken????

It’s hilarious and sad at the same time. Surly we have someone out there with millions that can hook up some recruits. But all returns have been relatively weak to this point. And to say recruits aren’t worth it may be true too but people don’t care about that when they want their respective school to win. Just the way it’ll be for the Top 300 athletes now… buckle up

Agreed and that should be the extent of the rule, but here we are.

But will we pursue? I’m a little disappointed that we aren’t attempting to capitalize on what’s happening around us

Well, we're not watching backyard football that has no coaches, admin, etc. We have seen what it looks like when those are bad. Don't want to imagine what it is like without them.

They are part of the process and get paid for their roles. My point was the players are a bigger part of the process and get paid with a scholarship, and that is very nice, but NIL is about their right to use their own image to profit from it.

Where in MO are yall? Lived in Joplin until recently, wife's family lives in Sedalia and STL.

Random, but I really like Janis Joplin.

So I jump ship in Hong-Kong, make my way over to Tibet, and get on as a luper in the himalayas, tell them I'm a pro-jock, and who do they give me, but the Dali-Lama himself...

Dude was a long hitter

 

[BigOrangeVols]

There

Shut up Mark

A visitor I've not heard much about that came in today.


Won a state title in wrestling too, so you know he's got some serious strength.

I’m the guy big on football linemen that are championship wrestlers

Seeing a clip of his state winning match he's still got plenty of potential to add mass to that frame. Seems RG wants him to be a DL that can generate pressure with his hand in the dirt. I'd say with his wrestling background he could be very good at beating OLs in the trenches rather than just needing to be a stand-up edge rusher.

I'm sure we're pursuing all avenues, we probably just still aren't a priority destination for 5-star recruits.

A real Cinderella story.

Sounds like it's more about getting paid for their potential to perform in college.

I have no problem with NIL in theory...I have a massive problem with it in practice

Is it? If someone wants to use your name to make some money, should you not get some of the profit.? NIL means name, image, likeness. Is it going to be abused by schools to pay the players? Yes. Does that mean that players don't deserve compensation for bringing revenue to the school or to a private business entity? No.

You are taking information from a dude on a message board that works at Supercuts and running with it...Jeeze

You are one of those naive folks aren't you?

Athletes value those who cut their hair…ask around. This guy also works with athletes. I’ve disagreed with some of his stances and the presentation as much or more than anyone, but he’s not a blowhard. He has access and I believe he’s a fan of the program we follow. Errybody’s entitled to their own opinion so I’ll leave it there.

For sure not

Fair warning @frank ....we gonna need all hands on deck come next wed, bring in extra chipmunks, we gonna need to "put on more steam" !

 

[InVOLuntary]

Someone got a NIL deal with On3...

Let's hope it's only "Name". "Image" and "Likeness" might not be the best..
