I watched almost all of the Mob podcasts. His family situation is in rough shape, I'd say nothing like the average Syracuse student. That said, Don McPherson told those guys the thing of true, long-lasting value they are getting is a Syracuse education, and that NIL is a bad idea and takes focus off of what is important... said from the view of experience.
He can't finish his education at another school?
While I haven't read this entire thread, I'd have to say, maybe SU's HS recruiting hasn't been so awful after all, based on the comments here.
Don McPherson, like Felisha Legette-Jack, believes that Syracuse is a truly special place. You should watch the Mob podcast when McPherson was on there to know what I mean. Of course, McPherson was in the program at a time when Dick MacPherson was in charge, and they had an extraordinary experience. If you've ever met any of the players from that era, they'll tell you.
Thought their starting safety was just a junior?
Maybe the coaching staff believes he is declaring post playoffs? Maybe he hasn’t taken ownership of the position and the staff wants competition? Not sure. My post was just to present a mindset Carter may have based on the prior comments in this thread.
I think the reach out has to be to the 10-15 biggest companies (Micron, Wegmans, InBev, JMA, etc.) and some successful former athletes. Find a way to make the donations to a “collective NIL trust” that works for NFPs doing PSAs, appearances, etc.
Me too!
I’m sure you could if you had enough cash.
Day from Ohio State said it would take $15 million a year to keep his roster together. It shouldn’t take SU half that much
sure...they knew who he is.
Personally they were way too little, too late for their stipend idea (2015)which could have been a game changer if it was formulated well and they agreed upon equitable amounts for ALL NCAA FBS members. They could have even stepped up the amounts dependent on academic year - all freshman for example $10k, sophomores $20k,Juniors $30, Senior and grad $50. The specific amounts are just an example. I’d also like to see a $3500 or so transportation allowance to enable each family to visit and see their child, grandchild etc play.
I think the stipend thing is a good idea, especially the way you laid it out, but it would have had profound negative impacts on American higher education as a whole. That whole motion of money going direct from school to player is fraught.
They have been currently getting stipends since 2015. Doesn’t seem to have effected much so far that I’ve heard.
I have no doubt he could very easily beat out some Ohio St starters. My point is are you willing to risk the chance to go in there and beat out a past starter? I obviously think very highly of his skills. There are just a lot of variables when you transfer, like loyalty to present starters that got you to the final 4, kids you’re more familiar with therefore having more trust, and kids you recruited out of HS , etc.
It’s probably because they are all getting well compensated already. I’m sure Duke has a healthy collective.
If my family was struggling, and I could cash in elsewhere immediately, while the best my current institution can do for me is "you can get a job someday thanks to your degree", I too would transfer.
Duke basketball maybe, but Duke football isn’t exactly a rabid fan base
