Portal QB's

Honestly, these are the type of QBs we’re gonna have to go after if we’re gonna go cheap. I don’t hate it, love the motivation many of these “lower level” guys show. But what I’d really like to see us do is take two QBs. One “lower level” guy, preferably a red shirt sophomore, and another high profile ($$$) guy and let them all battle it out, no guarantees to anyone.

Companies and/or NIL collectives need to write in performance quotas and performance bonuses into their contracts. (many are starting to) And if $ammy Big Buck$ gets beat out so be it. He’ll be a solid, well incentivized back up if/when we need him. These kids have been begging for us (everyone) to treat them like professionals, begging to be paid, begging to have more freedom to move from program to program, so let’s start treating them like professionals…

Write your NIL contracts with built in protections and incentives. Pay top dollar for your talent, treat them like football gods, but bench’em and move on if they can’t perform. Always be recruiting over everyone and at all times.

Son, “You wanted to be in them game… Now you’re in the game.”

this is undoable because it is against one of the very few NIL rules.

it's NIL, not pay for play.

please post any and all examples of the "many" teams doing it to prove me wrong.

I don't expect to see any, of course, because they don't exist.

I believe Ewers' Ohio State deal specified he only got paid if he was the starter. There is no NCAA prohibition against legally binding conditions in the agreements. The only prohibition is against "pay to play." In other words, you are supposed to perform some service in return for the NIL money.

You might be right about that, but I was under the impression these were independent private companies, they can write anything they want into the contract. How can the NCAA tell a private company how they can structure a personal agreement that has nothing to do with the NCAA?

So what the hvac company gets its money back from decoldest because he didn’t play?

It’s not a contract. It’s an appearance fee.

Usually works out - the best players have a higher value name/image/likeness and are compensated thusly

Ok, looked it up. You can’t put incentives for on field play in NIL contracts, but you can based on sales. (commissions) As in the player can earn additional commissions on the sales of the product(s) he or she endorses. So yes you can connect player’s performance, to some degree, to his/her NIL deal. So I think there are ways to protect yourself. Don’t give blanket contracts, as in, here’s 500k to do some commercials for Runza.(hypothetically) Use promo codes and QR codes and directly connect that player with his or her sales. If your QB has 12 total pts and 10 total turnovers I don’t think many people will be using his QR/promo codes. Nevertheless, here’s a link I found regarding NIL rules. Kinda long and drawn out, but there’s lots of nuance from state to state with regards to HS players.

 
All we need is players demanding more playing time and opportunities from their coaches so they can earn more NIL.
No possible problems with that scenario.
Or a head coach not even through his first in an 8-year contract publicly demanding more resources if he’s going to win

Always works out well

So you didn't actually watch the PC.

He didn't publicly demand anything. I wouldn't have an issue if he did because more money for assistants, recruiting, NIL, whatever is only good for the program. But he answered a question about his advice for Coach White, and his advice was not to take a job where the expectations, don't match the resources.

Why do you assume he is saying that is the case at Nebraska? Maybe he is happy our resources do match our expectations.

There are 3 ways of doing things, the right way the wrong way and kongs way
 
He’s referring to Purdy I think.
Purdy is an interesting case. He might graduate in May. He could then transfer as a grad transfer and play two more years. He might be looking for some guarantees at Nebraska. I dont know. If I were him, Id stay put because he’s put in the work, knows the team, and this gives him the best chance to succeed. You can’t worry about who else they might bring in. You have to be confident enough that you are the guy.

Resources are a problem at Syracuse.

Oh okay.

I’m sure it was completely innocent. Not at all passive aggressive.

Our spending (12th, was it?) is not in line with our expectations. It is in line with our performance, however.
 
absolutely worth a look

at this point, i'd take anyone with success as a starter who isn't a turnover machine. that way we can stop wondering if its a scheme problem or a QB problem.
My thought earlier is that we would have a great record if we could just minimize or eliminate turnovers. Then the Wisconsin game happened. No turnovers, but other things got exposed. I know that was just one game, but Nebraska football continues to be an eternal head scratcher.
 
After potential portal guys see how far Sims regressed under this staffs coaching it could be a very hard sell to convince anyone to trust their career with the current coaches
 
I don’t think Sims regressed at all. I think he is what he was.
His stats here are far far worse than at GaTech - even compared to his true freshman year at GaTech

But let’s hope a portal guy is gullible enough to believe your version
 
Unless Nebraska can establish themselves with an offensive line that isn't going to get a QB killed, no top end QB is going to come here, just my opinion.

You should stop wondering. The offensive players we hare are offensive. Need to recruit way freaking better.
