I am 100% in favor of players getting their piece of the pie, but programs just straight up buying guys off other teams’ rosters doesn’t seem like it will end well.

Yeah, this fucking sucks

[Hiphopopotamos 20869]

How much you think a one year rental of a Biletnikoff winner is going to cost USC?  2 million?  4 million?  Too low?  Glad he is getting paid - even if I do hate that its USC.

Im ok with it if we would join the party. This should be an advantage for us.

[ClubWhatever 12136]

Just make them employees with NFL rules and let the schools buy them.  It’s fucking nuts.

This is turning into straight up free agency. Not great

It’s not even free agency. At least with free agency you can’t just buy guys that are already under contract. This is a no holds bar royale rumble. No rules. No one is off limits. 

[Fondren & Main 6714]

I guess it’s going to take us getting our teeth kicked in by aggy for a few years for us to create the evil empire.  Nothing unifies everyone lockstep than having to listen to those insufferable bastards run their mouths day and night in perpetuity.

It was always going to be that. Put the money up and show you want to win or shut the fuck up. “the Texas way” is a joke

[irishtexan 11518]

In free agency there are contracts. With the portal there are no contracts. It’s chaos. The plus side is that we are probably the most insulated program against this stuff in college football if we can figure this shit out. But there’s the rub…

Also, other teams need to want our players. So it hasn’t really been a problem for us.

[Bamboozled73 315]

Should we just buy both starting DEs on Alabama for 1 mil each.  The money can come from savings of contract payouts (of PK and Choate).   The Brock twins can help pass on the message. 

[Surlian 79]

Any reason our NIL collectives didn't do the same (or else I'd hope we'd do better than guys like Hall)? Like getting Devonte Gordon (Freshman All-American at RT for Wake). Or a guy like Gentry out of ASU. Seems like there were definitely guys we could have recruited to the portal and didn't. Not saying we'd bat 1.00, but I have trouble believing USC is able to tamper this well and that we're just that dogshit at it

I am still confused as to why he was a take in the first place. Wasn't he also flirting with ND/OU sucks?

ND booted him from the class after some legal trouble (rumored to have stemmed from some consensual group sex w a white girl and her dad being displeased about the situation), and it was between us and OU in the end.

Yep. This is exactly what I said to a colleague the other day. We’ll get it together after a few years of getting our ass beat by them.

I don't know, but I'm already 0 for 1. And I hate rejection. Maybe I should ask Amber Heard. I have a feeling we are cheap though. I told a girl I would get her valet ticket validated which I did to save her 12 bucks and then the valet drove up with her AMG G 65. And the sad thing is, I'm no better.

You can take Amber Heard home so long as you're okay with her shitting in your bed.

Why, does Oghoufo getting blown off the edge by Jaylen fucking Garth not give you the warm-and-fuzzies?

This would be a good dig if you had half a clue about what you’re talking about. Oghoufo didnt get blown off the ball… Sorrell guessed the wrong gap and lost contain. It’s an eye discipline issue more than a physical domination issue.

I know you’ve already finished yourself to that gif, but that was actually Sorrell getting driven back by Garth. Oghoufo is holding his position against Billingsley on the other side.

OU is going to absolutely struggle next year, they have been spoiled with Riley.

There'll be time enough for prognostication over the next few months. We'll see how confident you and your ilk are in your predictions in August.

[NorLa Horns 1458]

So Nebraska is giving Mathis 600k to play there. And we aren't blaming our money guys for saying , dude aint worth that much. Thanks. But no thanks. 

And in the next post yall screaming how our staff sucks because Nebraska is beating us out for the kid who is making a money decision, not a whats best for me decision.

The story doesn’t end there as the Pitt football program believes that the USC coaches illegally tampered with Addison, while he has not yet in the transfer portal. PSN has been told to expect Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi to make a public statement that will target USC’s alleged tampering with his best player. Sources also tell Pittsburgh Sports Now that new USC head coach Lincoln Riley is believed to have used the same questionable tactics to lure Oklahoma freshman quarterback Caleb Williams from Oklahoma to USC.

While this isn’t official, the word is that USC is offering Addison a NIL deal north of $2 million to head to Southern California. PSN is also told that this isn’t the first time a program has offered Addison a large sum of money. Following the season, it’s believed that Kentucky offered the Biletnikoff winner $800,000 to go to Lexington and he turned them down.

Just so many better places to go to than CORN 

[Pato del Muerto 52490]

So parents giving school/coaches millions to get kid into usc means federal crime and jail time. 
 

Usc getting rich alums to give millions to kid to get kid into usc is just the way of the world. 
 

because the former is inequitable and the latter is not?

[Leanderman 2275]

Don't forget bag hag is up there in corn land either.

[SuckitKevin 920]

What time does Mathis announce?

[tokamak 6423]

Happy Ochaunnukah, everybody. 
 

Spoiler

Yes, I’ve been saving that one. Was a lot more excited about it when it looked like we were getting him.

Well - now we know what the going rate is for a one year rental of the best WR in college football.  Adjust your payrolls accordingly.

The backup linebacker had over 100 tackles and 12 sacks in his career.

This dude had 10 tackles.

You two are not going to like college football going forward.

On the contrary, I am just saying there are better uses of that 600k+. We can go all USC and tamper with this kid, as an example.

Umm... maybe we just have different standards as to what constitutes "holding his position." Even then, we're talking about one of our starting ends getting washed out of the play by a guy not known for blocking. 

It's one play but it's not great, Bob.

It does seem like you need both the collectives approach and the rabid billionaire fan approach.  The collectives aren’t the ones doing these deals to target and poach a specific elite player. .

Exactly.  If our billionaires outbid their billionaires, our coaching staff would be best recruiting staff in nation.  

Instead, we play by different rules than reality and then are schocked when we lose a recruit or aggies dominate us in this game.  Sadly, for as much as we rightfully make fun of aggies, they were ahead of game and ahead of us.  We are stuck defending why this isnt real NIL.

[Hank Kingsley 20923]

We are in the early, experimental stages of NIL and these players are taking advantage. Good for them. 
 

The upcoming seasons will determine if these big money guys were actually worth it.  Rates/payments will be adjusted accordingly. Some people need to calm down.
