Article on College QB's - transfers and NIL

[TruHusker]

Article listing some of the starting college QB's and where they came from. Keeping up with the transfers is a full time job these days. Looks like the going price to get a QB to transfer is $1.5 mil. Not bad work if you can get it. Several take-aways from all of this - how long do schools expect to keep a kid these days and what will it cost them? Is there always going to be someone lurking around the corner with more money trying to pry them away? Tell me where this all ends. 🏈 SAME FACES, NEW PLACES​ QB TRANSFERS HAVE TAKEN OVER COLLEGE FOOTBALL​ (Henry Russell/Yahoo Sports)​ 43 of the 68 power conference teams are projected to start transfer QBs this week — a stunning 63% clip that shows how transient college football has become. ‌ And get this: Of those 43 projected starters, 30 are in their first year at their new school. ‌ From Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger: ‌ Unusual if not downright rare years ago, such a leap — team rookie to starting QB — is often now the norm when a QB starter at one power conference school moves to another. ‌ In fact, there are first-year transfer starting QBs at many conference champion favorites and expected CFP contenders like Ohio State (Will Howard), Oregon (Dillon Gabriel), Notre Dame (Riley Leonard) and Miami (Cam Ward). ‌ Those four players are believed to be among the highest-paid in college football, each having entered NIL contracts paying them high six figures and even into the seven-figure range. The high rate of QB movement isn't rooted in only playing time — it’s rooted in money. ‌ What they're saying: “If you are trying to get a starting QB with Power Four experience to transfer, you are in the $1.5 million range,” said Russell White, president of The Collective Association (TCA), a group of more than 30 NIL collectives from across the country.​ (Henry Russell/Yahoo Sports)​ QB musical chairs: Rutgers kicks off Week 1 tonight with a starting QB from Minnesota, which will also start a transfer QB in tonight's opener against UNC, whose starter transferred from Texas A&M. ‌ As for the Aggies? They'll kick off the season hosting Notre Dame, who got their QB from Duke, who got their QB from Texas, who got their QB from Ohio State, who got their QB from Kansas State. Two transfer QBs will go head-to-head in Saturday's Canes-Gators showdown. Miami's Cam Ward came from Washington State and Florida's Graham Mertz came from Wisconsin, which replaced him with a transfer from… Miami. Multi-time transfers… FSU's DJ Uiagalelei (Oregon State, Clemson) and UNC's Max Johnson (Texas A&M, LSU) are among the transfer starting QBs who are on their third school. Then there's Cal QB Chandler Rogers, who's on his fourth (North Texas, UL-Monroe, Southern Miss). ‌ Exes who left Texas… Baylor, Texas and Texas Tech each have three former QBs starting elsewhere, tied for the most of any team. Their exes are spread out, as west as Utah, north to Purdue and south to Virginia.​

If only teams would just commit the to the run, then they wouldn't have to worry about getting a QB and wasting millions. /s
