'26 TX ATH Legend Bey

[Sudden Impact]

You know, jealousy does not get you far in life. It makes you angry. Be happy the young man has an opportunity to better the life of his family. Why be mad? It is very weird, and he's not taking any money from our collective. He's an @sshole? You just told me all I need to know about you? Miserable for no reason.

Wow, I can see both sides of this. Both are somewhat acceptable answers. On one hand this is the life we all created and allowed it to happen, but the old days are gone and have to deal with what the here and now is vs the good old days.

NIL is not a new concept, Just was a equalizer for teams on the playing field. Exception was under the table sorta speak.

Read the Book "Meat Market: Inside the Smash-Mouth World of College Football" 2007 which is a depiction of College Football before NIL. Illegal NIL.

As for Bey and many others they have learned to play the game of NIL. As for character, those that play the game have none and are infectious in the locker room and may not pan out.

The rating system is just as much of a farce and a contributor. Sure evaluations are a handy tool and it is needed but there are 1 million plus HS football players of which 30-40 are 5*s, 40-80 4*s
and 15,000s 3* diamonds in the rough. 1.5% get consideration. Many are overlooked.

Didnt OSU bring him in primarily as a RB? So the Hartline move probably wouldnt affect him all that much.

Jealous, nah. Mad at him, nah. Tired of so called adults enabling bad behavior, yeah, somewhat. And no, giving him a limited release is not a douche move. It's much the same as creating a noncompete clause. If he's the stud he thinks he is, it will only hold him for a year anyway.

I can understand your viewpoint, but Heupel’s job is to win football games.

Holding Bey accountable (in your opinion) certainly won’t help him win games and may in fact make it harder to do so by hurting recruiting.

Got to keep your eyes on the prize, not get into disputes that aren’t beneficial.

It was obvious from the time of his insane tweet that he wasn't going to end up here. But as usual, idiots that don't live in reality didn't want to believe it.

Bey will most likely be a bust and someone that transfers 5x.

That’s fine have plenty of talent at receiver. If a player doesn’t want to be here hit the pavement. Don’t need any distractions.

His last name rhymes with his behavior.

So many people were called nega vols because we chose to believe the obvious

 

[ChicsdigHarleys]

tOSU PR and fanatic propaganda.
They’re bootie hurt.

Still think this?

 

[ChicsdigHarleys]

lol what if there's no drama and it's just osu?

If only lol

 

[ChicsdigHarleys]

I’m sorry. So I’m supposed to believe that Heupel and company saw no issues with just mom and not the recruit showing up to Knoxville? And then agreed to this huge flip without ever talking to the kid prior to the paperwork coming in? So what, they’re just twiddling their thumbs on signing day and all of a sudden “Holy ****, it’s legend’s paperwork!”? I may question some decision making by Heupel, but there’s no way he and his staff are this f-ing stupid.

Give me a break. This is either fake news or really shoddy journalism on rival’s part.

Yes, you should have believed it

Credit to Vols fans on this one. Nearly everyone just said let the kid goes where he wants.

Because everything you read on the Internet is true? So it's being an idiot to slow your roll and wait to see how it works out?

 

[Jackcrevol]

I have taken the moral high ground, sorta Stay healthy kid, good luck. But, I hope he loses every single game.

 

[82_VOL_83]

All of this was unnecessary. A lawyer booster for tosu could have tied up the NLI long enough for him to turn 18. Could have signed in the spring.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Glad this kid is gone. Wish we'd have never accepted his NIL to begin with.
