I think too many people don't realize that the schools themselves do not pay the athletes. NIL is starring in a commercial for subway, being on billboards for T-Mobile, representing a cookie shop in Knoxville, etc. You can't cap my ability to make as much as a company is willing to pay me to...

They don't get money from UT. They sign endorsement and sponsorship deals. I suppose those may be year long deals or however long the sponsoring company or individual amd the player agree upon. In other words, its his money...he earned it.

So a dude that wants to be given a diagnosis for an injury that affects his body and the ability to play the game he obviously loves (I'm reading into the tweet), and that would seem to want to play for a team that would take care of him... is a head case? That's what you take from that tweet...

Also, if I recall correctly, most football contracts aren't guaranteed.

If he had underperformed there would be no loyalty to him most likely. It's a two way street. Of you don't look out for number one in any job, you're in a world of hurt.

Or maybe that motion is signalling something other than "I need to rest." So many times I've seen him tap his hat and then get called to run the ball the next three plays.

Bell in Hand has decent beers, but the food was pretty meh. Can't top the history of the place, though.

Yeah, that'd be funny from a guy that played his entire football life in the super hot muggy state of Illinois. L O L

Corruption? Or recognizing one's value in a marketplace? Everything is worth what the market says its worth, including football players. Its ridiculous that they were never paid, except for under the table, before now. Scholarship athletes were even forbidden from having jobs that paid more than...

The drinks are one thing, but the sex and strip clubs is perfectly legal, and between consenting adults (if there was sex involved). Those athletes were over 18.

Simple, really. He doesn't go to the NCAA to ask for anything. They have nothing to do with his release from UF. That's between UF and the player. And they'd look even more like losers if they refused. Imagine what that says to recruits? Hey, we promised one thing, didn't follow through, AND...

He tried and was mediocre there. Allegedly he left for Bama because Miami didn't sign Drew Brees.

21 is still a kid, by a long shot. There are 21 year olds that are more mature than others, but they're still kids.

I was at this game! Row 7 in the student section, right behind the Florida bench. I was soaked in places I didn't know could be soaked. What a memory that is. I also happened to be standing in line in TBA to pay my tuition and fees, and Heath was waiting with his girlfriend (I suppose she was...

Because NIL has nothing to do with you or "privileged athletes"... Its endorsement deals, just like professional athletes and celebrities of all kinds have. *YOU* don't pay for anything other than whatever the school uses your donation for. It amuses me you have this vision that these kids...
