  1. I hope one of our BMDs starts an NIL revenge fund that literally goes out every year and tries to poach someone from schools that tried (or did) poach from us the year before.
  2. Wait, so not only did we extend these jokers but we gave them raises in their existing contract years??
  3. Anyone else find it interesting that Phil Knight is tampering with players from Nike's #1 college revenue source (and I'm sure other Nike schools)? Quite the conflict of interests for a publicly held company. Dude needs to focus his tampering on Adidas and UA schools and lay off his moneymakers.
  4. What's the status of Jaden Alexis? He healthy yet? Might need him with Dixon, Marcus, and Harrison leaving
  5. I wasn't criticizing, just stating facts that he isn't some proven commodity
  6. HS teammates with Bijan. Signed to play in PK's defense. Doesn't look like he really played on Defense last year., prob special teams
  7. This is hysterical. We're in the wild west of pay for play and tampering but the NCAA is "busting" Nebraska because an analyst did some coaching. Which also happens at every school.
  8. You realize they have more than one field and can also have people doing stuff on the side while it's not their turn, right? Or instead of having four guys in line for each individual/group drill, cut it down to 2 guys in line and just have more lines.
  9. I'm not saying there isn't coordination. Of course there is. What I'm saying is, hypothetically, it is possible for a collective to drive the ship without coordination if they feel like a staff is pussy-footing around. Ex: UT officials are scared of tampering so won't chase anyone who isn't in the portal (hypothetically. Idk if that's true). What if CFC goes out on their own and offers $5 mil to Dallas Turner? Clearly the coaches wouldn't turn him away. (again, that's a ridiculous hypothetical but just illustrating the point)
  10. This is what's so messed up about it to me. There's really no practical/economic value tied to these deals because it's all just coming from (wealthy) fans who aren't even in the program. I think you are underestimating the power of emotional fandom though. A lot of pro sports owners don't give a shit about profits, they just want the pride of winning a trophy. They'll spend for decades to get there.
  11. It's possible that they submitted their paperwork but now they and UT are negotiating NIL. And then if their needs get hit, they'll withdraw from the portal before even showing up (or could still be after). Basically the Amarius Mims move.
  12. Yes, but it can take up to 48 hours to show up in the portal. So they could have submitted their paperwork to UT yesterday and still not be showing up yet. If they aren't in by the end of tomorrow, then yeah I think we can put it to bed.
  13. So if boosters are the ones making contact with players to avoid technically tampering, what prevents a group like CFC from just going out and picking some players on their own to buy? I guess you have to make sure our coaches would take the guy but in a lot of cases I'd think that's an obvious yes (ex: literally any edge with a pulse). In other words, I wonder if at some point the collectives end up driving this ship as much as the coaches at some schools.
  14. Probably not but haven't some collectives started buying "exclusive NIL rights" to guys? Like TN with that high school QB. Because if so, that effectively prevents them from leaving for NIL purposes, although they could still leave and play elsewhere.
  15. Crawford isn't even a starter and hasn't ever really seen the field so let's not get too dramatic. It'd suck to lose him but not some kind of fireable offense. Losing Barron would indeed be a case of negligence.
  16. Guessing he doesn't like the move to the slot? Also wouldn't they both have had to submit their paperwork by yesterday? I know there are 48 hours to show up in the portal but I think they'd have had to submit by now.
  17. Being mentioned as in "he submitted his paperwork" or as in "there are rumors / we had to fight others off"?
  18. Yeah it's highly unlikely. With that said, NIL offers aren't just about how much money you can sling. They're also about how bad you want/need the guy. Ex: Nebraska/Mathis. For all we know, UGA may view him as a 2nd stringer considering how much they already have on their roster. If that's the case, they probably won't bid as much as another big program who views him as a surefire starter.
  19. Really hope the Barron stuff is wrong. Losing our best CB would be a major kick to the nads. If we're willing to approach $600k for Mathis, $200k for Barron should be a no-brainer
  20. Others have alluded to plenty of our guys being recruited elsewhere, so I don’t think this is right. Plenty of young guys that other teams would like to have even if they haven’t produced a ton for us yet.
