I'm shocked an oregon state fan would fall on that side of the argument.

Sport feels like it's operating just fine to me. 

[Mittens 8253]

Also seeing rumors that he walked into the coach's office and demanded more NIL because he was doing well.  Obviously, no clue if that's true, but curious to see how this unfolds as more info comes out.

That's a school sponsored leak

Has anyone watched the guy? I’ve seen a little of him. He’s a far better running QB than passing QB. UNLV is winning as much because of their defense as anything.

Decent G5 running QB. Nothing that screams big NIL payday.

Maybe.  I'm inclined to wait and a week or so before I decide who I think is the asshole.

How long until someone tries to pay a player to redshirt before their schools play each other?

Or just feign sickness for one game. Example: would some deranged Ohio State fan with money to burn have been ready to pay J.J. McCarthy 100k to wake up sick on the morning of the Ohio State/Michigan game last year, thus probably insuring that Ohio State makes it into the playoffs?

Coach Glove is Deon Glover. His son is Tony Grimes. Maybe A&M saw how poorly Tony played in 2023 Spring ball and decided not to pay. He transferred to UNLV in 2024.

It would cost a lot more than $100k to get a QB at a school like Michigan who is likely going to be a high draft pick to forgo the game (and take the risk of something getting out).

Yeah and it wouldn't be able to fly as a legitimate NIL deal, so it would have to be a bag under the table.  In which case, there's no difference between now and the past 100 years when any booster at one program COULD potentially pay an opponent not to play.

NIL contracts are fucking contracts, and they get drawn up and metrics have to be met for payment to be received. I'd hate to see the morons who get slapped with discovery and the contract says "We need you to sit out X game and claim it's becuase you're sick." Or even "X player agreeds to be paid Y dollars by the Collective Representing Opposing School In Week 5 for future services rendered." That would raise some eyebrows. No, it would just be a bag.

Man, they must not be paying anyone.

4th string RB may have been more about playing time than money.

Ah, I assumed he was playing.

Not really the 4th string RB.  He's the fourth leading rusher, but the transferring QB is by far the leading rusher and they seem to use three running backs about the same amount:

But yes, it was clearly about playing time that he thought he was promissed.

He’s the DJU of DTs. Some idiot P4 program is absolutely going to shell out more cash and convince themselves that they can fix him.

$3 million would make it tougher for the JJ McCarthys of the world to go pro early. They would still lose the elite of the elites but this probably helps hold onto and attract the mid to late first rounders.

I wouldn't be surprised if it is. Much like Charlotte has done with UNCC, Sacramento is a rapidly growing city that is happy to spend to be a part of the big leagues.

It makes a lot of sense for Portnoy as he can get serious returns on his NIL spending through publicity and player/program access. His math is certainly different than your average ultra-wealthy alum who won’t get hardly any ROI on that type of deal.

My immediate thought when I saw this was that it's insane that it isn't UC Davis going for this type of opportunity and that I'd assume they'd be a much more attractive school to either league
