Oh darn. Might as well cancel football then if your not going to watch…as they say don’t let the door hit you
Mathis NIL
- Thread starter inWV
- Start date
This is for sure going to happen.
You want to see a huge shortage of HS coaches...it will happen.
Yeah, the "I won't be watching" crowd is weird.
I bet they still all watch porn...even though the people they are watching are not "amateurs"
And most people hardly watch the Olympics but they are "amateurs"
Nice comeback. This is the equivalent of " I know your are, but what am I".
Give the $500k NIL money to Baylor Scheierman instead.
It says high-major program. That leaves us out.
If joy in your life depends on the football team, that is simply sad.
Except it's not an exclusive either/or situation. And the folks putting up the money have the decision of who to fund. It's not up to a popular vote of a select group of fans.
I agree, if joy in your life depends on football that is sad.
If football adds to the joy in your life, I don’t think that’s sad, do you? If Football doesn’t bring you joy, stop watching it.
But if something that brings you joy, then I think it’s worth something
Take the first step. Stop posting on a ‘college’ football forum (or at least one for a team that you dont support)
I enjoy NU, but I also understand how unimportant it is. I think many lose sight of that.
That’s what I was thinking..agent? If / agents get involved in players NIL deals, college football is definitely over..
Craziest part about comparing it to rape is you don’t really know which B1G school you’re referring to because there has been so much disgusting sh*t that has gone on.
Wasn't Nebraska's mascot just banned because he makes a racist symbol? Like I predicted would happen.
There will be a sex 'scandal' in Nebraska FB or BB within the next 3 years. Take that to the bank. It happens everywhere. Minnesota's FB team had one the year before Fleck.
Wait till tax time for some of these guys. Uh what I have to pay taxes on this
you are comparing this to a mascot using the ok symbol? that is alarming dumb. please don’t waste your time quoting any more of my posts, you’ll just get embarrassed and angry and it will be really awkward coming from the middle aged creepy guy you are.
I want O Mathis badly, but don't think he's coming here. Texas has taken every opportunity to dance on NUs grave over the last 20 years and I am convinced this is just going to be the next episode of the saga.
As usual, you're wrong.
Nebraska did not have a mascot banned recently.
If you think you're right, please link it. Unless it was a double secret banning.
I haven’t heard any recruiting guy that’s been on the radio this week, that thinks Mathis is coming to Nebraska. Everyone of them say it’s texass, or try to sound less negative by saying “it’s anybody’s guess”.
We pulled out the pimped out chair - dare I say throne - but what I really think sealed the deal were the balloons

I don’t see what UT has that TCU didn’t really. You go to UT you will play the exact same teams you did @ TCU in the exact same stadiums.
Come to Nebraska and you get to see a much different part of the country and learn a different type of football.

Maybe he's always wanted to go to Ireland 🤷♂️
Uh, no. The extent of the "scandal" you've invented is that a goofy-looking mascot image was switched from "OK" to a thumbs-up.
Over the years there have been some village idiot, potted-plant stupid, too-dumb-to-tie-their-own-shoelaces trolls here who have repeatedly embarrassed themselves, but you have captured the grand prize.
I like football. When Huskers win I am happier than when they lose. I think that’s what he meant. We don’t need to psychoanalize the guy
If he doesn’t this photo will live in infamy on the smoldering corpse of this programWe pulled out the pimped out chair - dare I say throne - but what I really think sealed the deal were the balloons

Rep for Miami star Wong: Better NIL deal or exit
The NIL agent for Hurricanes star Isaiah Wong says the guard will enter the transfer portal if his NIL compensation isn't increased.
And he's even more involved with Miami football. They are going to be really good again fairly quickly with Cristobal and their NIL power.
Kids deserve to get paid, but this is out of control. Even pros have contracts, and both sides have some power.
Agreed. It's definitely going to get a lot crazier and more messy before things get under control. The NCAA sure blew it by not being proactive when it came to monetary compensation to players. Now, we're stuck with this cluster and it's not going to be pretty where college football ends up.
It was inevitable. The only surprise is that they went so blatantly public in an apparent effort to get the fans to pressure the NIL benefactor. BUT you can bet it is happening elsewhere on a significant scale. Welcome to the world of professional college sports.
Some of this was likely going on illegally for a long time but the ability of transferring through the portal really made the player threats to leave credible. Then the NIL factor opened the financial compensation situation up to anyone who might have had any prior fears of legal consequences in the past. Combine the two changes and this is what you get on a large scale.
Regardless of how fans might feel about it, It's obviously a HUGE financial boon for star players.

The NIL is not really the problem. The issue comes because of the ease of transfer, which it always should have been easy to transfer.
But if these players were locked in and would have to sit for a year, the NIL would be/look much different.
With that said, they should take every penny they can get. They are not "Fans" of the programs, it is pretty much their job. Just like most of us are not "fans" of our place of employment, it is just a job and if a better one comes along (or when we actively search for one) we take it.

Here is what people don't get though. In the long run this will ruin the FANS perspective of NIL/CFB landscape. Less viewers = less money.
You should auto have to sit 1 year on a transfer (no excuses besides a coach leaving). This would solve a lot of problems. Even some "jobs" have non-compete clauses.
There are also 130 head CFB coaches BUT over 11,000 players. Big difference with open market.
Yeah, I understand your point. I am not sure how much of a drop in viewership there would be.
What you see here on this site are what I would deem the "super fans". There are probably 25 teams in CFB that have "super fans", ones that are constantly on message boards and stuff like that. I mean, look at Iowa fans, they come to this site because their site must not have a lot of fans.
I think for most fans, 90%? 95%? They watch the game because it is an "event" for them, with their friends or family, stuff like that. I don't think they care so much about WHO is under the helmet they just care about that 4 hour block of time each Saturday.
With power comes responsibility. There needs to be some sort of checks/balances on the players. Agree, if the coach leaves, all players can leave without penalty. But we’ve gone from a system where players had little to no power to the Wild West.
