Yeah, I'm unconcerned with AW. He's a big boy and what he promised and what he delivered are two entirely different things. This is nearly classic abuser language: "look what you made me do! And here I was planning on taking you on a nice vacation, but not now with how you're acting!"
That's not the issue.
Yep...if we don't see our name pop up with a big time portal player then we're probably not a serious player in the NIL world.
Id be willing to bet its a $ limit for Jesse, not a cap for all players.
I am sure the intent of that money is not for one athlete. There are other athletes that need to be paid and over multiple years, not sure how long they expect that pot of money to last.
Frank averaged 3 points and 3 rebounds for Georgia this past season. Even I can do that. I've got eligibility left. Can I get a few pints of Haagen-Dazs as my NIL payment?
This is correct. Was just about to clarify the limit was Jesse specific.
Clowns cant even give nice unis
I'm shocked this happened. I was told numerous times that SU was all set since they offered that NIL 101 class.
Should've kicked them to the curb when we had a chance.
Wow, I didn’t know he was that unproductive. I followed his stats the 1st month or so and he seemed to be doing OK with rebounds and even got some starts. I stopped following after that and never bothered to check again. He did nothing, you're right.
But we really don't know the reason behind this. From the AD's standpoint, it could have been a question of value. Is Jesse at $1 million more valuable than, hypothetically, a Dickinson at $1.1 million? We simply don't have all the facts or any knowledge of the discussions or negotiations that have taken place.
That should be what scares you. We can’t get him to stay and that’s his initial list.
True, but I just don't think you let Jesse walk out the door if you can help it.
The talk that Adam was pulling out started weeks ago though.
Bingo. I’ve been told Jesse had some “crazy $” being floated to him before he hit the portal. The Dukes of the world wouldn’t do that. They wouldn’t need to. But unfortunately, in todays game, this is going to happen. Desperate programs will throw around $.
Frank is the 11th guy on the bench. I think there is a long line of guys he is sitting behind.
no, but it does have to do with is running a well-oiled AD that can avoid shooting themselves in the foot at worst or at best looking like they're running a local HS AD. Wildhack isn't a charity case, he's making significant money. And so are a lot of other people in the AD.
It does in that it helps set the value, quantify exposure, etc. nil is essentially an extension of operating costs, funded differently. Looking at them in context with revenue, capex etc sheds some light on why the dollars in question are really small relative to the overall operations. Also helps prioritize fundraising to account for it.
well, I'm sure most if not all of those schools are reaching out because they have no idea what the ask is. They're doing their due diligence. I'm sure they call and ask, and when they hear what the request is, they say thanks for answering and we'll ask around and get back to you.
