'23 TX S Peyton Bowen (Oklahoma Signee ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

[ColinKSU]

Momma not happy. there has got to be a middle that can be figured out with these NIL deals. I don't blame someone for taking the money but man, this is ridiculous.

Who cares what his mom thinks? Maybe she should have raised a son that isn’t a liar.

Are there no rules or regulations on NIL? I know nothing about the ins and outs of it. It seems like a terrible idea to throw loads of money to teenagers without any caps or regulations of sort. For the record, I am for NIL, it just seems like a bad idea to not have some sort of oversight to it.

Although I guess you can't argue with what people do with their own $$.

 

[Luckylucci]

So, he pulled the hat fake on his own mother. Super douchey.

 

[Blazers46]

Time to find a 5 star safety for the ‘24 class

Offer him a hacienda gift card and a hat on the table when he picks someone else.

Driskell just said Bowen was on a zoom call with all the commits last night and told them he was coming to ND.

Weird thing to do but 18 yr olds are just kids.. Whatever. Moving on.

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

Using the fake out hat move on the school you've been "committed" to for so long is straight up trash.

Yep. Like seriously fuck this dude. What a piece of shit move. MFMF must be 😤

Realistically no because every NIL collective in existence has enough financial resources and sophistication to bury NCAA enforcement.

I am just appalled that the parents have no class...with my twin boys, I teach them to respect your commitments and to treat each other with respect. If they get D1 offers for soccer, they will not be playing this type of BS.

I am not mad at the kid per se, but I blame the parents for this lack of class and for not teaching their son to be respectful. Disgusting...

FWIW, Mom looked positively thrilled when she thought he was putting the ND hat on. And then…

 

[irishtrooper]

"He clearly would have been a bad fit."

Sorry, but I agree with others that he’s not a great fit. Clearly he wasn’t forthright with the recruits/coaches. It’s different at ND and if it’s about cash (seems to be the case obviously), then it’s fair to assume the fit wouldn’t work. It’s not copium or whatever

There are supposed to be. But in practice, there aren't. Whether it's that places are finding ways around those rules, just ignoring them and daring the NCAA to try to do something about it, or both is probably irrelevant. But my money would be on both.

 

[benneboy]

He should've decommitted over the summer and opened things up. Just a poorly handled recruitment.

Not if his goal was to get paid as much as conceivably possible. Unfortunately this may set a bad precedent going forward. He wouldn't have gotten nearly as much if he'd been committed to Oregon for 6 months or even uncomitted.

 

[Blazers46]

Fucking Ed O’bannon. Destroyed my NCAA college football video game now destroying all of real life college football.

How to make two of the biggest fan bases in cfb hate you in one fell swoop, by Peyton Bowen

 

[Irish#1]

Peyton Who?

 

[KyfightingIrish36]

He used ND and OU to the final hour to get the biggest check.

 

[stlnd01]

We’ll be fine. This is the game right now but it’s not sustainable, not even for Oregon. And we have a lot of good football players who chose Notre Dame for the right reasons. Celebrate them.

As for Bowen, I just kinda feel bad for the kid for handling the biggest moment of his young life in such a classless fashion.

 

[PigtownIrish]

Why exactly is he holding a parasol?

Fair weather player

 

[indianamouse]

Whatever happened to the dude that picked Alabama over Lsu in front of mom. Did he ever do anything great?

 

[TorontoGold]

Can we get that Oklahoma fan back in here? I wanna hear his thoughts about making Bowen making smart choices and Oklahoma and shit...

Can't, Wednesday is meth day.

For when the 5 star goes bust and wonders why nobody wants to help him anymore.

"Cause you is a dickhead bruh"

The new (commit for) 4 (months) for 40 years.

 

[Dale]

Pretty hilarious both fan bases are convinced they always lose these

Welp, and they were both right.

 

[NormND_44]

Swarbrick needs to take the gloves off.

Indeed. But those of us saying he'd be a bad fit from a culture standpoint are just huffing copium. 🙄

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

I'll experience the tiniest bit of schadenfreude if this kid's career doesn't go well.

I wish it weren't true but the tacky ending to this whole ordeal is right up there with Vanderdoes

 

[IHateMarkMay]

Man Oregon dropping bags... look how that turned out for A&M last year.... a cautionary tale.

 

[NDty9]

I personally don’t choose to verbally trash a kid … however …


The minute the NCAA decided to turn this into a straight up business for these “kids”, the rest comes with it. You want to make business decisions and deceive others like this, you take what comes with it.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

I'm not going to judge Peyton. He's not my son.

But if he were my son - I would have beaten his ass for not being honest to ND OK players fans etc. Egregious. He was either malicious or a pussy. My son is not allowed either.

 

[stlnd01]

True. But Oregon doesn’t play in the SEC.
