Can’t have that money burning a hole in their pockets, my guy.

Jimbo is gonna run ATM into the ground financially and otherwise it would seem.

Give a bunch of 18 year old knuckle heads large sums of cash. What could go wrong?

We are still top and should be shown to every recruit. But ND doesn’t matter 🤷‍♂️

Everyone with a brain saw this kind of crap coming. It’s going to be unbelievably exploitative towards teenagers with poor support systems.

These are the kinds of situations Notre Dame could help players avoid in the short and long term. The opportunity to be a beacon in the sludge swamp is there for the taking.

Notre Dame draws a line in the sand with stances that are borderline stupid if not stupid entirely. Expand the transfer portal outside of the Ivy League and Northwestern. Take a transfer whose age might still end in "teen." Take a chance on some recruits like you did with Chris Zorich and Robert Hughes in the past. Be about higher education and making boys into men rather than just talking about it.

The position on admissions with football is arcaic and elitist. Without football, they'd be St. Norbert College. You don't have to open the floodgates and start bringing in every JUCO linebacker with a C- GPA, but FFS loosen up a little bit and realize the basics of what needs to be done to truly compete for a championship with the big boys while opening the opportunity to people who will go on and do you proud with the forty year decision.

Sorry for the rant

Brandon literally had a video interview with Hicks explaining his decision to pick Oklahoma. We were ready to drop it as soon as the announcement went public.

OU was the pick. It wasn’t arrogance; Brian Perroni conceded the race over on the A&M board last night. You’re welcome to hold us accountable, but there’s a difference between holding us accountable and holding us responsible. And you seem determined to do the latter.

Post from the OU mod. Wonder how much money aTm dropped

Also this though:

It'd be amusing if Ass To Mouth solicits for NIL funds like an old Sally Struthers ad..."For only $10K a day you also can support a future Aggie National Champion".

Them players have no respect for the game and are selfish. The school should snatch there scholarships and throw them out school.

These young people aren’t worth much.

What does this have to do with NIL?

Snap counts by player:

Isaiah Nwokobia: 114
Chace Cromartie: 33
Jayleen Record: 0
Roderick Daniels: 71

It’s 4 backups taking their RS and transferring? Not sure where the story really is here

What was it called when Michael Young et al. did it in the non-NIL era?

You mean like Keys and Jahmir Smith?

Something bad happened, so it's NIL! I don't know the full story but I'm sure it's 1) Kids today 2) NIL

NCAA to send additional NIL rules guidance to schools next week: Sources

The guidance will address which activities are permissible and impermissible when it comes to institutional involvement in NIL.

"Many coaches and athletic directors have publicly expressed their belief it is being used as a recruiting inducement both for high school prospects and transfer players."

Wow, no shit? You think so?

If a Utah football player really was offered $1 million to transfer, it's cause for celebration, not concern

Those who rule college football are worried about players being lured to different schools by booster money. It's nothing but their latest boogeyman.

sports.yahoo.com

"College coaches and leaders have dubbed these offers as “inducements” and called it “tampering.” A clear mind would see it as something else — a cause for celebration. A college kid being offered life-changing money is a great thing, not a problem in need of federal regulation.

Exactly what kind of person, and what kind of industry, would villainize another person after finding out that someone wants to pay them a million dollars to do something? Exactly how selfish and/or paternalistic does someone have to be to think that a person shouldn’t have the right to know of such an opportunity because, well, just because."

How did I know this was Wetzel before opening the link? Lol. It’s crazy to me these reporters virtue signal like this but then also complain about “only 4 schools make the playoffs and the little guys have no shot.”

As a sports reporter, one would think he knows that any sports league does not operate on a truly free market. You cannot simply go offer a player on another team money without any guardrails in place because that is literally tampering.

This doesn’t have to be an all or nothing issue. NIL is good for the sport with parameters so boosters aren’t cherry picking players from current college teams. Also, just clarify if you can offer recruits NIL upfront. I don’t get why this has to be so controversial especially for reporters to lecture us fans that it has to be a free for all or you hate kids making money.

What's dumb about this opinion is that in a vacuum they are correct. There's nothing bad about people making money. But looking at the big picture, this kind of behavior (specifically de facto free agency with at-whim cash payments) could literally destroy college football and strangle the "golden goose" and then everyone loses. It could also put kids in unenviable situations where they are promised something to do something and it doesn't work out and they're left holding the bag. That's the whole point of rules and regulations.

Them no good kids should loose there scholarships.

It might have died on the coaching carousel decades ago.

Yep. It's not NIL that's the problem. It's NIL combined with unlimited/immediate transfers. All that does is set up a system where the whole damn sport is a farm team for the 20 schools that are most willing/able to spend. And then what's the point of being a fan of anyone but those 20?

Wetzel says there's nothing that can be done, but what they could easily do is restore the one-year sitting out on transfers. That would cool off the transfer market considerably and by extension the NIL transfer market. Or if that's deemed too restrictive of players rights, you could also say schools can only take X number of transfers (five?) per year.

Or just offer players a four-year scholarship. Like a... contract. I'm not sure what's so terrible about that?

By the letter of the law, inducements should be prohibited. If Wetzel clearly wants a different law, whatever, he can feel that way. But the NCAA cannot continue as a toothless organization without the ability to enforce its own NIL rules.
