He was standing on the sideline wearing shades in the last game I saw. Must be nice getting paid over a million bucks to ride the bench.
most of the guys being paid that money, the starters, have their teams in or around the Top 10. Just statistically, it's more probable than not they'll be that vicinity by the time this guy rises to starter. Arch Manning, if I were betting Vegas Odds, will lead a top 10 team in the next couple years, just statistically. Could certainly swing and miss, which would be considered a bad investment. Kinda like Bariatric Seating. We're actively incentivizing obesity within Memorial Stadium. Take your pick on what you'd rather see. Elite QB costs a helluva lot less that Fat Seats.
Got trucked by Mizzou last week, but probably not his fault. He will HAVE to start next year, regardless of the competition. There’s no other way.
That's something I never thought about with NIL. Coaches will feel pressure to play the high NIL guys.
Mizzou is pretty good
I don't think we will have to be, but we should be.
you sound like a guy who's been getting paid the same for years with no hope of upward movement
Yes we are.
And just wait until a player starts only because of NIL and then doesn’t produce. I’m sure the rest of the team just love that. It’ll do wonders for team chemistry!
Well, I am a few years away from a retirement I'll never experience due to a terminal illness that keeps me down. I am just looking for a little more time and quality of life.
What? Are you a child? Whatever you want to say, say it like a man.
They arent paying him 8 million. He has a valuation of that. Social media plays a large part in valuations. Followers and what not. Tennessee is paying him 0. He likely isnt making 8 mill per year off of social either. We have almost 0 way of knowing their actual deals. The IRS likely does though.
At what point does the NCAA implement some type of NIL "Salary Cap"... I have ZERO idea how that looks but at some point the spending has to be railed in like the NFL or this is gonna continue the path of the Power 5 to the new B1G Vs SEC mega conferences and eventually widling it down to the top 10 -15 schools with enough money to compete and eveyone else will be holding their weiners wondering what happened
without embracing NIL, you're gonna have to be.
this is what's basically already happened, in a few short years. We can certainly do a LOT better as a program there, we're roughly toward the top of the middle third of Power Uni's when it comes to 'money available' and spending nowhere near those similarly positioned, but will still be at a huge disadvantage to what'll end up being a mostly perennial Top 10.
the power of a Willing Collective far exceeds that of a Privileged Few.
Maybe I took it wrong. I apologize if so. It was probably TMI on my part anyway.
a good reminder you never know what the guy on the other side is going through
We should listen to his 2020-2022 press conferences and pick apart everything he said.
he was only 36 when he was hired and he was the OC, too
Agree with you 1000%. Mostly. Needs to be legislated and capped, or we're basically permanently screwed. We've been around on this, but the point is that while the idea of being forced to pay them to play comparative talent on the field is truly idiotic, it's also necessary if we wanna be consistently competitive with ranked teams. Certainly wouldn't discourage the Proletariat from donating, if the goal is improving the level of talent on the field. It MIGHT help us win. 'might'.
It can’t be a guaranteed amount. No way. But it’s a great way to control the kid on campus. Any weed, you’re done pal. DUI? Adios. Hit an ex-girlfriend? Not backing you, bro. All F’s on the report card….We can get you help.
On3 has him @ $1.1M, for whatever that's worth. Less than DR or Arch Manning, but on par with a bunch of the studs with their teams in the Top 10.
No offense at all to Pascal and I will definitely send up some prayers for you, but I haven't laughed that hard at a post on the board in a long time.
I started it. It just hit close but this is a football message board. Personal problems maybe shouldn't be relevant. As King said, you don't know what the nameless, faceless poster has to battle.
