Rhule just wants you to know what's going on

[GoGophers_NoBigRed]

Not missing anything. Frost was an absolute joke of a coach who napalmed his own alma mater, and the repercussions of his failed tenure are still emerging.

I know it's a sore subject, but that was pretty funny!!!

Frost was gone after game 3. It was Mark Whipple that decided not to allow him in meetings

Mark Whipple knew he was gone after Frost was let go.

Undoubtedly there will multiple "victims" that get jammed up with their tax bill because the didn't know they had to pay taxes on say the leased pick up truck that the collective is paying for.

I'm actually kind of shocked there hasn't been public stories about this. Look at all the tax problems NFL players have. Now multiply the players and throw in college.

There doesn't seem to be any rules, which is probably why it seems to have become out of control so quickly.

Either way, I'm for the players getting what they can while they can. A 700k to 1 million dollar head start in the "real world" is a pretty good deal for an above average grad transfer qb.

Yeah cause a fully paid college scholarship is just average and gives you know advantage at all.

Twice in two weeks he’s made comments like this

Makes you wonder what kind of picture trev painted him with regard to resources during the courting process

Clearly there’s some disconnect

It's entirely possible Rhule has had an education regarding the portal that he wasn't expecting...it's like, "yeah I knew drinking 12 beers prolly wasn't the best idea, but damn this hangover is worse than I thought it would be".

The portal QB demand has also gained steam..along with the dollars being demanded, and I suspect Rhule is not alone in being a little surprised at how fast all this accelerated.

^This is the “disconnect” I think we’re seeing.^ I think our administration didn’t have the foresight to see how fast NIL would blow up into 7 figure contracts/players. I don’t think Rhule envisioned things going this fast. And they’re not alone, I think a lot of coaches, administrators, acedemics and media members that supported NIL have been blindsided by what this has evolved (devolved lol) into so quickly.

Many said there wasn’t nearly enough regulation and/or state by state uniformity. Many people predicted this would happen, maybe not this fast, but many predicted we’d see 7 figure players at some point. So to me, it’s disappointing that we knew this would happen (regardless of how fast or slow) but we did nothing about it. IMO, nobody wanted to forcefully advocate for more regulation cause the opposing narrative will be: “You’re anti players getting paid. You’re anti-capitalism. You’re pro slave labor, all these coaches and schools make millions off the backs of 18-20 year old football players“ etc…

No coach or administrator (no matter how much they may have hated NIL) wanted to be labeled as anti-NIL. So here we are…

Hahaha this is a bad joke. Why don't you dickheads with a hard on for ruining what should be young adults competing for something other than money go circle jerk over a Pro college football league or something moronic along those lines. Christ almighty talk about pissing and moaning you poor babies. If you can bet on it or make money off it you find a way to ruin it somehow.

And

The NCAA has lost several lawsuits regarding player compensation, which is why the system is the way that it is now. The NCAA is unlikely to try anything else that regulates player compensation as a result (and would probably lose in the courts if they do).

The only entity that can regulate NIL at this point would be congress. With congress in its current state of perpetual discord, it is unlikely that any legislation would be able to gain the necessary consensus in both houses. Suffice it so say that anything reducing or limiting player compensation is likely to be characterized by some as an attempt to take money away from minority kids, making any bill toxic in today’s world.

It’s probably wiser to find a way to operate within the current system than waiting or hoping for changes. They are likely far away.

And the lawsuits keep coming. People can blame the NCAA all they want but, in the present environment, the association would be sued and lose in any regulation attempts.
You're so right -- at this point, only Congress granting an antitrust exemption would help. But that's not gonna happen. The NCAA no longer has any supporters on either side of the aisle. If anything, Congressional action will open the compensation door further. It's gonna be a wild ride

If that's the case, wouldn't this have been Mickey Joseph's call as well?

Pretty bad decision for a man who was a serious contender to be HC here.

That’s not the worst decision Mickey made…
