Hongbit Posted September 25 Author Share Posted September 25 Interested to learn the details of how this went down. Someone said UNLV didn’t pay to what they agreed, another person said that they paid and the kid wanted to renegotiate after a good start, another person said a different school offered more money if he’d redshirt and transfer. No idea what is true but this is the new world especially for G5. It’s a one year commitment for most players just like a JC program.

Hongbit Posted September 25 Author Share Posted September 25 (edited) The dad has also chimed in agreeing with this NIL agent. Could very well be true or then again maybe not. NIL agents have burst on the scene and they aren’t real agents per se. No agent worth their salt calls a verbal promise with an assistant coach a closed deal and sells their client on it.

Deleterious Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Shame that Tark isn't around to run the UNLV collective. Everyone got paid when he was there. I'm guessing the player backed out after the good start. $100K isn't much even for a program like UNLV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddha Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 i'm guessing he got a better offer for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganCardinal Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Assistant Coach probably conditioned $100k on him being a success. UNLV can pay that in NIL to a starting QB, but only when they really need to. Probably not on any given grad transfer. Kid then had early success. Meanwhile, an SEC school like Ole Miss quietly offers him $500k to redshirt and transfer. Now kid says “I never got my $100k.” Nonsense like this will keep happening until the money-makers in the room (B1G and SEC) leave the NCAA and regulate themselves. And even then it might still happen to schools like UNLV, unless the powers that be don’t want it happening to UNLV out of their own self interests.

Hongbit Posted September 25 Author Share Posted September 25 He’s only got 1 year of eligibility left so this wouldn’t be shocking to see him try to use the only leverage he’s got to get paid. Not right but it is the new way. The in season stuff is crazy but we are absolutely going to see 1 year movement bleed over to P5 QB’s. Dylan Raiola is going to get huge offers to leave Nebraska and they are going to have open the bag again to keep him for next year. If Aidan Chiles can figure his stuff out, he’s going to get multimillion offers from the SEC to leave MSU, even after they paid him between $750k to $1M to come play this season.

Hongbit Posted September 25 Author Share Posted September 25 (edited) In the meantime, it would benefit all of college football to come together and give Sluka the Kaepernick treatment. If nobody makes him and offer and he finds himself without anywhere to play next year, it may discourage the next person from trying it three games into a season.

gehringer_2 Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 and the other question is that just because it has to change, doesn't determine how much damage is done before TPTB finally act. Some kinds of institutional losses can become irrevocable if you go too far down the wrong road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly it. We are where we are because the NCAA was forced to do something. In court. So they just said "okay, inmates can run the asylum!" ushering in this whole wild west era. The solution will not lie in the NCAA. It will lie in something new, eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see it being the current NCAA (too broad a target) or any of the current conferences (too narrow a target). Not to take the thread into politics - but just a scenario: There could be Congressional action but it depends on the election outcome. If one party gets enough control (i.e functional working majority) that everything is not constantly in knots, there are a few people in Congress that might have interest in the issue. But it's not the kind of thing that has a chance of emerging from another contentious session - which is why we haven't seen anything in that direction that yet.

Hongbit Posted September 26 Author Share Posted September 26 (edited) You are leaving out the biggest part of this equation. What does TV want? The guys putting up the money are going to want to have a say in what happens. If ratings stay strong and the new playoff system generates more ad money, I’m not sure much will change quickly. The NCAA controls the TV deals for everything outside of football. I’m not sure the networks want to scrap their sweatheart basketball deals and rework them with some brand new entity. In that regard, I’m not sure they ever go away even without football. I think a new entity to handle just football and conferences that are football only will be the way of the future but how far away will depend on the success of few years of this playoff model.

Hongbit Posted September 26 Author Share Posted September 26 I still believe the biggest threat to college football is the future of the American university system. It’s broken and won’t continue to exist like it does if they can’t figure out how to get the cost of education down. As more companies stop requiring bachelors degrees, the cost-value for many areas of study doesn’t make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddha Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 (edited) i think kevin warren's time with the bears makes plain that he is not some organizational genius and is really just an empty suit who has empthy suited his way to top jobs.

casimir Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 The Mountain West is looking at Toledo and Northen Illinois? Well, I guess if Cal & Stanford are in the Atlantic Coast Conference, why not? It ain’t Ohio State & Michigan, and I’m biased because of where I grew up and got my degree from, but splitting up Toledo and Bowling Green would suck.

It's such an easy and fundamental thing to do right and they completely whiffed on it. Recently one his ex-players - I can't remember if it was a guy from the 49ers or UM, said that the most striking thing about playing for Harbaugh as a coach was infinite attention to detail. Moore doesn't seem cut from that cloth so far. Other little things beside the clock today - JJ extended his fake after every hand off. How often did it make a difference? Who knows but it's basically free to do and if it freezes one LB for 100 milliseconds, it's pure profit. Orji doesn't do it at all.
