So, Nate's back?
- Thread starter HBK4life
- Start date
This pleases me. But I’m greedy and perpetually dissatisfied. So I also want a portal OT, WR, LB, CB and a RB 🙂
I like how the coaches are handling the portal so far. More work to do. But I like what they have done so far
If a player wants more money, can’t they just go to 1890 and say “I want more money.” Is it necessary they go the portal route? I’m sure they think it puts pressure on the team they are pretending to leave to up the anty, but in the process, they make themselves look like nothing more than a prostitute, willing to service anyone for the right amount of money.
As suspected some of these players were just angling for more NIL money. I guess that's the power of a free market which is what college football has become.
I think he was the only TE Rhule didn't mention in his presser so he could be gone one way or another.
Some of the ones who entered but are not back out may have tried that and found out they aren't getting more to stay.
Do you honestly think he has interest from several high level SEC schools?
Not seeing this reported anywhere else. Won’t get excited about this alleged news until it is confirmed.
Which isn’t bad just incase they go to the nfl and become a professional prostitute
Instructions unclear. I left my job to become a prostitute.
College athletics is not a "free market", as that requires payment for a good or a service with a contract to for specific performance and outcome from that good and service. We will have to get to this for it to work without ruining college athletics. In the meantime, some kids are going to get a reality check and others are going to get a bag of cash without any commitment to perform.
lol, glad he chose to stay as a 3rd string TE and turn down UGA and Bama.
This seems odd to me. Carter Nelson will be ready to replace him anyway. At some point, you have to trust the young talent to step up, especially if they are more talented.
Yes, that's the risk some of those players face, especially with the limited roster sizes now. And Rhule said he won't take back some players who entered the portal.
Not sure why people hate on him. He was arguably our top TE. More of a blocker but also can catch. Much different body type than Nelson
All jokes aside, if DH wanted him back, then I wanted him back. GBR
Yep. I would hate coaching in this new world of college athletics. Everyone's a free agent looking for the next biggest payday. Sad.
Sounds like NB is really looking at the SEC. This report is wrong, and he could end up at Bama which is nuts.
Players have been exploited while schools and the ncaa have benefited for a long time. I don't hate the players at all, this could be their once in a lifetime chance to get some life changing money.
I don't hate the players. I hate the system. It will ruin college athletics in the end.
I'm not against players getting paid to sign autographs, sit for a few hours at a dealership, visit a high school or other facility etc... .
I'm not against a stipend for players who earn something by their actions on and off the field.
I'm against an 18 year old who hasn't proven shit, selling himself out to the highest bidder. I'm against kids jumping from team to team just to make a few more dollars. I'm against schools and donors wasting millions of dollars on amature athletes through exhorbonate payouts.
The whole thing stinks
HBK4life, you are normally the man, but I wonder why you quoted this X member with a few dozen followers? Looks bogus to me, probably some kid looking for hits/$$.
I agree, but because the system is so bad, it does make me dislike a lot of players. They just get annoying with the victim card and the entitlement that they should be owed millions while in college. I know the world has changed, but it sucks that kids who used to play the game for fun and love of the game now only really play it for money. I know there are outliers, but hate that CFB has become just solely about money.
Agreed. Sad. I don't believe it can last. I just don't see how the money can continue to pour in like this year over year. At some point something will have to give.
