I think part of the big settlement is that direct payments for playing will be legal and things will look different going forward. It will get regulated eventually one way or another. Not sure what the IRS cares, if you make money, you report it as income and pay taxes, if you don't, you're in some doo doo.

The hypothetical was that selling lemonade is illegal so you sell the cup with the expectation that lemonade will accompany the cup. Imma is correct that the rules still preclude payments for playing so they are written as "brand ambassador" contracts and they get $100K to do a 20 second recording for a local car dealership commercial. We all know it's pay for play, but if the player decides to leave, the dealership can't sue him for their money back, because the contract was for the radio ad. That's the only real difference, the way these are papered up is a complete pretext.

You couldn't sue for the lemonade because it would be an illegal contract and all you were legally entitled to was the cup. Like I said, it's why this QB isn't suing UNLV but instead is just up and leaving. Imma is speaking in technicalities and is correct on that level. In practice though, if he was promised something and they renegged, he's in the right. I think most of us think he just had a few good wins and asked for more money midseason and fuck him. No telling if the truth can be established.

I agree it's losing charm, but I can't think of a logical or economic justification that the people who risk their health to create a product that generates billions of dollars in revenue should do so for free because of charm and history. It used to be an amateur sport when they were kids playing a game and covering their costs through ticket sales and concessions. TV revenues have changed everything.

If he was paid everything he was promised and came in after two "big" wins and asked for another $100K what did UNLV do wrong? I'd say no too and tell him to fuck off. As to your first point, it's why he's just leaving and not suing, it's still pay for play however it's labeled.

Old enough to get their knees blown out and brains turned to mush for the entertainment of others while generating billions of dollars in profit. They deserve to be compensated for that value. Doing it through NIL pretexts is the problem.

I think this is most likely and if so fuck him. Like someone said above, one side is lying. I assume most NIL is paid up front. Seems unlikely that he was promised a payment after week 3 which was reneged.

Seriously, lol. The problem with NIL is that it’s a bullshit pretext to pay players. Everyone knows it and operates accordingly. The OL at Ole Miss isn’t getting paid $300k because that’s the value they bring cutting a ribbon at the local Jiffy Lube.

I would bet good money that the "poaching penalty" is unenforceable. These clauses are a form of liquidated damages and every jurisdiction literally has in their laws that liquidated damages clauses must be a logical estimation of actual damages and cannot be a "penalty." The law used that word, "cannot be a penalty."

Kirk Cousins has gotten like three massive contracts to go 1-4 in the playoffs, but yeah, lets just blame Dak and let Jerry and his clown ass off the fucking hook.

I was a grill jockey, those were for the carhops, the cute ones especially. Downside was it's sort of awkward flirting when you smell like a deepfryer.

Sonic alum here, tator tots 4 life.

As of this morning 5 Harris-Walz signs on my street. According to trumps logic, he's gonna lose Oklahoma bigly, lol.

Stop quoting the troll, he adds nothing to the conversation. The Cowboys have been “out of reach” within the first quarter and a half of games because of putrid defense and shitty opening play calling without any adjustments when they don’t work. That affects qb play in case you hadn’t noticed. The point is that after Mahomes nobody on that list is clearly better than others accomplishment-wise. Stafford caught a great coach at a great time with good surroundings. Everyone else on that list has had some big seasons and also been accused of disappearing in big games (see multiple MVP Lamar Jackson, regressed Jalen Hurts, etc). There are some on that list I’d prefer to Dak, but that’s not the choice (and half that list is laughable). It’s pay Dak or draft a rookie and play him immediately. That just isn’t a realistic choice unless you’re in full tank mode which Jerry clearly doesn’t want to do. The problem isn’t that he’s (for now) the highest paid player, they can still build a roster like everyone else, it’s that they are paying players and putting them in a system with useless retread coaches. Nobody young and innovative will put up with Jerrys bullshit. So ultimately it doesn’t matter, pay, don’t pay, the franchise isn’t going anywhere. Every qb on that list would fail in Dallas under current management. Even Mahomes would probably have a ceiling under these clowns. Maybe he could get these losers to the conference title game on his own, but no fucking super bowls. Fuck Jerry Jones. He’s the problem, not the qb, not the contracts, it’s him and his toxic aura that infects everything and everyone around him.

The “state teams tied together” has always turned out to be bullshit when the final decision is made. It’s just so stupid and messy.

LOL!!!! Dumbest post I’ve seen in a while but ultimately doesn’t mean anything in the context of this thread. This franchise is a career waster regardless of talent.

I think those numbers about buyouts and exit fees are complete bullshit. The way this has played out makes no sense otherwise. You’re talking about a few million extra per year in tv money at most even if they got Memphis etc.

He's well inside the top 15 and in two years won't be in the top 10 highest paid, because that's how the contract market works currently. If you want to move on without Dak it's not because he sucks or because you need to save money it's because there's no hope here so long as Jerry Jones is around and can only hire worthless retread coaches. Nobody else will work for him.

So you're saying that dAk pReScOtT SuCkS aND iS OvErPaId. Every team pays their best players and still builds rosters. But not Dallas, can't afford $8 mil for a running back, so just blame the highly paid players. There is only one way any of this will ever change. Players need to stop signing contracts with Jerry and saying publicly that it's because of team management. Draftees also need to publicly make clear they do not want to play for Jerry Jones. Even then it's a long shot, but as long as these assholes keep taking Jerry's money he'll never get it through his fat fucking skull that he's the fucking problem.

What does the Sunbelt distribute annually? Could PAC turn to Tx St now that the AAC schools are off the table?

Nobody thinks we're winning this game. Fat mike made damn sure of that. Derek Henry about to just roll over Mike Zimmer's loser ass defense.

This. And this, fuck Mike's fat fucking worthless fat fucking ass.

Lol, pussy ass call, whatever

Why are they doing this to themselves? Nice to get your one onside kick at a time it doesn't fucking matter. They aren't going to win, just pack it the fuck up already.

Where did that stupid oversize hat thing even come from? I mean, they are objectively stupid looking, like nobody can think "man this makes me look cool." Well, Cybertrucks are the same and there are several people out there who think they look cool driving in them, pretty sure it's just Idiocracy in action.
