Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[VolsDoc81TX]

We know why he chickened out playing us. He will be fired after this year. imo

Please, please, please, please don’t let tiger high fire penny. We need him to stay until he retires. Their misery is delicious. Especially since I am from Memphis.

It is changing the game for sure. But the big Universities should be able to thrive in it because they have the money too. But will some big Universities step up? Are they willing to invest in winning? It will be interesting to see how the next few years change the college landscape.

We are in on some serious talent in 2023 so I wonder if we finally have a plan in place going forward and our players/recruits will start reaping those benefits. I think our biggest issue is starting slow and following the “right way” initiative in regards to NiL. But they may have it figured out now and we will start to see the benefits of NIL going forward.

I still see a downside though. Even if a university has all the money in the world, players are still going to be unhappy because other team mates are getting more. In the NFL, there is a cap, and there are only 32 teams along with a collective bargaining agreement that sets parameters.

I think it can get messy and even for schools like Alabama, UGA, A&M…maybe I’m wrong. But the transfers are not going to stop because another school may think a player is worth more, and all it takes is one.

You can blame the ole 'AA and these Universities. They should have figured out a better way to compensate these athletes a long time ago. Instead they kept the status quo and continued to fatten their wallets on the backs of 19 and 20 year olds.

This is true. They pushed it to SCOTUS, then SCOTUS fubared it as well by opening Pandora's Box without regulation.

I'm not going to read through all your BS because you didn't continue to follow the conversation. Conversations consist of more than one post. When you take one post and then launch personal attacks on me, you're damn right I'm going to question your intelligence. Try going back and reading my follow up posts and see the point I was making. Otherwise, I have no desire to keep trading barbs.

A statement for those of you who continually do it, a conversation consists of more than one post. Before singling out one post, try reading the series of posts to understand the point being made. Otherwise, shut the hell up. I try to be nice and get along, but damn, if you don't want to afford the same respect, I can be an ass hole too.

This sounds a little judgemental Weezer
Just kidding

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Relax. Like all things, this is on a pendulum. It will correct itself or those in charge will correct it. It's just new and crazy right now.

And if he's not that good then why do we care?

For once..just choke it...you know exactly what I meant..he is a good player and important to the team at this point because of lack of depth....but he also still makes a ****load of mistakes, and he still has bad issues with a lot of the fundamentals of playing his position.

This is f'n and I have just about reached my breaking point with all this garbage. Banks holding the program hostage after all the stupid he has done is a total garbage move.

I think everyone on this board would tell Banks to hit the road vs a 200-300k demand.

I know I would...**** him

Look at the bright side. You get to express your anger and disappointment, and I doubt you'll have to deal with an onslaught of posters calling you out as being negative and glass half empty.

Ya McGill I totally agree with you… He’s not the right person to be asking for more money that’s for sure. Dude has caused headaches by his actions before hand

Made me laugh weezer, lol

I've never used a netti pot, and to be honest, I've been terrified by the idea after reading about brain-eating amoebas.

According to some on VN, you can use a neti pot without fear as you are brainless

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

No way. Pay the man. He is our only
Linebacker.

**** that...he ain't worth it, and whatever you think...there is not enough money in donations to the cause to go around giving second rate players huge deals.

The University can not outright pay him or any other player..and I don't want them to.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

SMH...**** him and every other mercenary..I hate this stupid f'n . You happy Devo? and all you other guys that think this dumb is just such a great thing?

The dude isn't even that good...he screws up all the freaking time..

I feel like you’re upset but tbh I need to see more emojis to be sure.

I do have to wonder if NIL will make kids behave so they can get paid, or if they'll get paid then misbehave even more?

Yes

I thought we were talking Back to the Future time travelling?

Even in that scenario, Biff received the almanac from his future self at the end of his senior year of high school. The 11 year old numskull bully woulda burned the gay thing.

I'm sure that's what they want to believe.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Don't try to talk me down right now...I am f'n pissed at all this dumb ...this was the straw for me..that freaking dipshit is a f'n idiot.

Really? You think I care after all the times I have been drug for an unpopular opinion?

It is a quagmire

This is true. They pushed it to SCOTUS, then SCOTUS fubared it as well by opening Pandora's Box without regulation.

And we were all good for years with things happening the way they were. As long as it didnt disrupt our football, we were completely ok with players not being compensated the way they should have been all along. Many dont feel this way and that's cool, but the wrongs are starting to be corrected and I hope it ultimately lands us in somewhere in between, but what was going on forever was not working.

 

[Weezer]

I mean, yeah, I think you do care. It's why you have such a large ignore list.

But I still love you anyway.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I’m not a doctor but go to the ER! I didn’t want to go a few weeks back and my wife made me. Saved my life.

Should I be concerned when I have similar issues that my wife says to just rub some dirt on it and you'll be fine?

There needs to be regulation, and as I understand it, though I haven't personally read the ruling, SCOTUS didn't do a very good job of factoring that into their ruling.
