get the fluff outa here. I wouldnt sign that kid no matter what. Absolutely crazy thought processof these young morons.

 

[David321]

And I thought wide receivers were supposed to be the divas of a football team!

He's no Dick Butkus.

 

[VTAaron]

HEH Dick Butkus probably didn't even get 45k for one episode on Magnum PI in the 80s let alone 45k a month or year then. Honestly the NIL $$$ Stuff is getting ridiculous... I'd be just glad to go to college, get the sport recognition as you know you were catapulted anyhow after, as well as the free ride with a degree as a result without debt.

Remember the little blurb in SI called “this weeks sign the apocalypse is upon us”

This story would be on the Mt. Rushmore

It is fascinating to watch a new market develop in real time as the various players all try to determine worth, value, power etc...

Pyburn clearing trying to push the boundary...

He was possibly their best defensive player so interesting to see the value he (although more likely his agent's firm) has ascribed to his role: $540K per year.

Yet another data point in attempting to determine what players are really worth.

In the grand scheme of things 45k a month is not a lot really for what some of these players are getting.

That’s only 540k.

It’s the other requests that are silly

If I was a coach and had extra NIL $ I think I’d sign him just to intentionally not play him on 3rd downs.

“If you decide to play in the bowl game I’ll play you every 3rd down in that game”

I don’t see how anyone can like this present state of college athletics.

 

[JDubbin]

In September I had an opportunity to do a presentation teaching at an Athletes in Action Summit breakout called "Ministry in the Current Athletic Culture" - It was observations & insights about how the Portal & NIL has changed in both my responsibilities working with athletes, but also athletic departments as a whole.

It was NOT a discussion on if NIL/Portal is "Good or Bad," but what impact is it having.

The first impact I listed is individuality is increased. "I" instead of "We," individual goals over team goals, etc. One byproduct of that is the loss of developing the character elements of perseverance/deep rootedness. It's kind of like instead of sticking it out through the storm of trials, athletes can just hit the portal & look for the perceived next best option (which isn't always the reality).

The second impact is instability, especially for teams. Instead of continuity & long term development, in a lot of ways coaches/teams have to spend time reteaching culture, norms & expectations while continuity, chemistry & unity are lost... team development is limited to a yearly cycle.

Of course these things impact in similar ways to my role in doing ministry with Athletes, but I had some coaches come & share as well... for them, it's exhausting, draining & frustrating (I had both a football coach & a track + field coach come & share)

Sounds like a team player

The mental downward spiral continues.

Gone are the days of, just go out and play football for the love of the game!

Now it's: I'll go play, but pay first.

When will it end.

I wonder if we will see multi-year contracts by the schools with revenue sharing to prevent the yearly issue. Guys get to lock in multiple years of pay but they don't get as much upside. No different than an MLB team buying out arbitration years.

As a 38 year, very valuable, season ticket holder, I am demanding
My seat be widened by 6 inches

I hope so, it will bring a bit more roster stability to a sport that badly needs it, until someday when some guardrails are collectively bargained

Only 6?

C'mon you are among friends here.

He's probably exaggerating.

I'm talking the spreading of his derriere.

It will be interesting to see where he transfers to and if we get any info on whether his new school met his demands...

That sounds more like it.

Just ask for a first class seat.
