He coached youth academies in Germany. I want someone who has coached and had success against the best players/coaches in the world. He doesn't have that.

If we go with an MLS guy, the world cup will be a bomb. On the bright side, I can focus my spending that year on the best games rather than chasing the US games. Klopp turned us down so now: Low, Vieira, Terzic, Tuchel, Pochettino, Potter and many more should be called before we talk to Nancy/Cherondulo/whoever from the MLS. In regards to pay, the US can pay $2 mil. Nike plus whoever can sign a sponsorship agreements for $18 mil and that solves the problem.

I am extremely confused here. The first sentence makes it seem like Coleman Hawkins is one dude. The 3rd sentence turns him into 2 people?

Moderator warning! Don't assume you know the sexuality of someone based on a picture.

IMG is certainly not for everyone. Some families don't want their kid going to Florida for school as they want to spend high school together. In fact in another sport, I had a coach who used to coach there tell me it was a waste of time. Football is obviously different then the sport I am referring to and it has more of a prestige level in football.

Everyone knows that endorsement deals don't apply to salary caps in pro sports, right? So how would a salary cap change anything?

It's been pretty well known about out here for awhile. Very surprised @billfromlaketravis didn't know about it. Not surprised that LTISD did nothing about it.

I for one am excited our DL coach is friends with Conan.

That is probably balanced out by their QB.

This is the only piece of evidence that seems promising. How many d-linemen has WKU had drafted in their history?

So again, wtf point are you trying to make? I made it clear it's not about those 3 specific players but rather the example they set for someone who is quality depth and may compete for a starting job thinking they can hop in the portal and have Bama, Georgia, tOSU etc hitting them up with offers. Hell even Maalik is finding slim pickings with landing spots now and he was once considered to be one of the most coveted portal QB's. I think the point is that these guys weren't competing for jobs or quality depth. Players that are competing for jobs and are quality depth who transfer will get better offers than these so no lesson learned.

I don't believe any of these unions have any say over the Name Image and Likeness deals athletes get? I also don't believe that because I have no clue. I assumed the only NIL funding the unions cover are for entire union being in a video game, but I believe players can opt out of those if they wish. NIL isn't schools paying players to play football so I think the unions are going to have a tough time getting a piece of this.

Dude was Vegan for like 3 months.

Did that 5 star WR not count? I don't think he was even on any of the sites' radars for A&M...
