Who Do We Go After from the portal?

If we can use Nico’s money and get a starting WR and a starting OL, I’ll be very happy.

Merk is ready and is a gamer. The little QB option keeper that was run only a few times by Nico, would be a staple for Merk.

Nico is likely taking his money with him if he leaves..

The problem is trying to enforce those contracts is like calling the police to say someone stole the fentanyl you had mailed to your house.

When a school goes to enforce their multi year or incentive based contracts, the player just goes to the NCAA with the contract.

A contract is only good if it's enforceable without getting your school put on probation.

They can enforce it. It’s called a pay schedule. It’s very rather simple.

The way things stand now it looks like Nico is gone. I'm optimistic about Merk but it's obvious we will go after someone in the portal next week.

Any guesses on who?

Your mom! Start children sh** and you get childish answers. This fan base makes me sick.

Nico should be offered this:

$3m, bumping up from $2m

$2m in incentives for going to Atlanta/winning the SEC/Playoff Berth/CFP semi berth/winning natty

At the end of the day, if we were to win a natty, not one person would care how much Nico was paid. However, heavy incentives force him to actually perform. If a school wants to pay more than $3m for his body of work in guarantees, so be it

Not winning a natty with Nico even if we had Georgia or Ohio state rosters. Enough let it go. Nico is mid.

Hehehe. Ask Xavier Lucas, who apparently had a "2 year NIL deal" with Wisconsin and transferred to Miami without even using the portal.

Wisconsin is suing. Meanwhile, Xavier Lucas is going through Spring practice in Miami.

Wisconsin is expected to lose.

Someone mentioned that Gaston Moore is in the portal without a landing spot. While I don't think he's a replacement or starter, he might be a calming influence in the locker room if he wants to come back.

I'm not at all suggesting he's a potential threat to Merk or G-Mac but more of, well honestly, a set of eyes and ears for Heupel this year until things settle a bit.

He ain't coming back for that.

What part do you not understand?

A pay schedule lays out all payment dates and amounts. If you don’t honor the deal, you don’t get paid on those future dates.

That's just a normal NIL. Do this, get that. Your suggestion that the school can enforce a multi year contract is my issue.

No one expects that Nico is going to collect more money from Spyre after he leaves nor does any player collect money from a school after leaving, at least I hope a collective isn't that stupid or poor to need to defer payments.

Players can leave every semester and they'll stop receiving NIL money. The courts have already said you can't stop them from transferring and playing elsewhere BECAUSE you can't stop them from earning money elsewhere. TN, via UT, joined that lawsuit to make it so.

Yes they can. It’s called telling the kid you will get this amount if you are here on this date and this amount on that date and so on.

It’s called money. If you want to make x, here is how you can earn up to that. It’s not complicated. NIL is the wild Wild West. The notion that everything has to go thru a legal lense is absurd.

You cannot make a kid keep attending your school. We're seeing that today with Nico.

If there was any way to force Nico to honor his agreement with UT, we've not seen it. He knows he'll not see anymore money from Spyre after this and UT knows he'll not suit up again. It's his decision where he goes to school and who pays him NIL. The school can dismiss him and he can dismiss the school. The collective can stop paying him when he leaves and he stops expecting to be paid when he leaves.

I'm unsure why you don't think this is based in legal issues. NIL is only happening because the NCAA got sued. Transfers are off the chain because the NCAA got sued. All of this mess is either court ordered or occurred because the NCAA lost a similar case to NIL.
