It smells like bitch in here. No one cares about Oregon. Kid got paid. Move on with your lives. All this whining about Moore and NiL and Rees is just distracting you from the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.

These deals are going to be a problem for team chemistry as well in my opinion. There is going to be an awful lot of jealousy towards the guys making insane cash. Going to be a lot of fun to watch.

Add in the fact that situations like A&M last year will cause kids to transfer early for money.
No way all 8 DL A&M signed will play enough minutes when you add the kids ahead of them & behind them.
If you are kid 6-8 in the class & not playing, the people who were paying you aren’t going to anymore.
But another team with less DL will. So 2-3 of those DL will transfer to get paid elsewhere.

In general, no one has a problem with this. The issue was the moving of the goal posts and not being up front with the staff that he was seriously considering other schools. He was trying to keep ND on the hook in case an NIL deal didn't materialize.
Yeah, the overall process seems to have lacked integrity based on what’s being reported.

If you have 7 million dollars to waste on a jr in high school I don’t think you really care about the money. If Moore busts they will just move onto the next guys that’s a “sure thing”.

Exactly. If ND had known how this what the inflection points in Moore’s recruitment would be, they may not have handled it the same way, or at all. I go back to the couple week recruitment of Nico I. He suddenly started talking up ND, got a PJ to his visit, good things to say after and then basically that as the end of it. I wonder if at some point they realized hey this isn’t gonna work between us and that was the end, no harm no foul Nico didn’t waste much of our time so we didn’t either.

Yeah, the Bag Man already had certain amounts of money from his yearly budget set aside for recruiting purposes... now those guys can LEGALLY pool their money, and strategize about how to allocate it for the guys they want, on a yearly basis.

The craziest thing to me, is that the scumbag bag men now have as much protection as the players that can legally earn money. In the past, if you payed a kid up front and then agreed to pay his mom's rent while he's in school, you better hope you're getting a good ROI in terms of the on-field product. If not, you have to decide between continuing the pay the kid's mom, or risk him getting mad and snitching.

Now, if the investment isn't working out, I'm sure there will be a legal 'out' for the guys with the money, and they can just drop the kid and allocate more money to the next season's collective.

However, a buddy of mine who listens to local sports talk radio text me to rub it in my face that “Oregon got the 5 star QB over Notre Dame” said that the speculation was it was upwards of $6.5M and parents got Nike jobs.
Hopefully you’ve properly disposed of his body,….
