It’s not my money but Carr seems like a rare occasion where you absolutely give him that number if it means he’s back
people say it's not their money... the ever increasing costs of tickets, streaming, commercials, apparel... if you're a consumer of ND content (or college football in general), you're getting charged either directly or indirectly.

That's not how it works. Football programs charge what people are willing to pay. If they could charge $10,000 and still fill the stadium they would. Supply and demand.

It doesn’t really mean that literally—to me at least it means more like it’s not up to me how they spend it

That said if the option is $8m to bring Carr back for one more year or $3m-$5m on the top transfer I just don’t see how there is even remotely close to a debate on what the right choice is

$8M is like 1/3 of the entire salary cap for athletic departments. Which I assume these announcements are referring to, because NIL deals are not "pay for play" type binding agreements.

Are there any good WRs likely to be in the portal. Some freshman from Oregon State (Jesse Legree) is having a big season. Offer him a bit.

They are absolutely overpaying for K Taylor. The dude put up good numbers against mid level opponents (ULM, Minnesota, South Carolina, and Missouri) then played not-so-well against Alabama (19-34, 258 yards, 3TDs, 2INTs). Regardless of where South Carolina and Missouri are ranked because they are ALWAYS overrated by the polls, they are mid-level teams.

Miss St just told Miami and Indiana to fuck off and find another transfer QB next year. $7.5 for Kamario Taylor?

Kamario has true brand value to Mississippi St apart from thinking of $7.5 million as his salary. He’s a hometown kid that has a NFL future, he’s someone transfers will want to play with and he’s someone you can signal to recruits/transfers you are serious about money.

I don’t see a problem with the number. A true he is worth $7.5 to THEM.

Wasn’t he playing w/ turf toe vs Bama before finally sitting out? I know CFP Committee gushed over Bama b/c they beat MSU when Taylor was playing but was He healthy?

I'm really not getting what you mean by this.

If he gets a first round grade, he goes. If he gets a first round grade and slips to the second round, he's still gone. If he gets a second round grade (which is highly unlikely, as I've said), I still think he goes.

This has somehow turned into "Katz thinks Carr is a second rounder." That's not at all what I said above, or anything close to it. Hypothetically speaking, I don't think there's a world where Carr comes back unless he gets a 4th - 7th round grade, which is never happening. Hence, I think there's not a chance he's back next year.

I'm confused how this has somehow turned into me not thinking Carr is a good QB, nor that he's unworthy of a first round pick 😂 And in effect, you're making my argument for me - lots of ass QBs go in the first round; Carr is better than those guys; so Carr jumps to the NFL, most likely knowing he goes first round.
I don't see Carr leaving if he receives anything other than a 1st Rd Grade. All things considered I don't think there's a chance he falls out of the top 20 and generally falls in the 4th-15th range in every mock.

I doubt he cares as much about 1st round money as other potential draft pick. Even if he hears he‘s a 2nd round pic, he doesn’t hesitate to leave IMO

Absurd figure for a kid who played 4 good games before the meat of SEC play

Sorry... but I don't want ND to pay one player anything close to that.

They are absolutely overpaying for K Taylor. The dude put up good numbers against mid level opponents (ULM, Minnesota, South Carolina, and Missouri) then played not-so-well against Alabama (19-34, 258 yards, 3TDs, 2INTs). Regardless of where South Carolina and Missouri are ranked because they are ALWAYS overrated by the polls, they are mid-level teams.

We don’t know what the market is in 2026. We do know some QBs were paid the $4 - 6 million with Mensah going for $10 due to buyout. We also know NIL valuations have climbed exponentially every year since 2022.

So genuinely asking, what is the proper value as of today?

That portal QB market looks weak IMO. No fault to Miss St locking him down for what they could because someone else was going to offer that much or more.

Not 1/3 the supposed salary cap for the whole athletic department is my opinion.

Not really. I’m just speaking of his insane God given gifts. He’s huge, mobile, and has a rocket arm.

Does he have the brain that stops 98% from succeeding?
How many times have we said that about QB's in college? And for guys who played a heck of a lot more than 10 games. I mean, gold jacket?
