LANK/NIL...

[cbi1972]

What's the passage in the Bible about remaining silent because when you say something you remove all doubt about being ignorant.

Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues. (Proverbs 17:28, NIV)

"better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak out and remove all doubt." - Abraham Lincoln

Guaranteed starting spot and guaranteed to play on 3rd downs.

The words that come to mind are not appropriate but my goodness how ridiculous is that in a team sport.

Sounds like he wants the Milroe deal.

And people on here thought it was unfathomable this type of thing could realistically exist...but it does...

Thus why you need to include incentives. You wanna get paid, perform.

If I was the coach, before he even said anything about a portal I’d tell him to clean out his locker and get out, and that I never wanted to see him near the football facilities ever again. Absolutely ridiculous hubris to make such demands, even excluding the money.

The name, image and likeness (NIL) market for student-athletes has seen unprecedented growth since its inception in 2021. According to Opendorse, an athlete marketplace and NIL technology company, the market is projected to expand from $917 million in 2021-22 to an estimated $1.67 billion by 2024-25.

A combination of school policies and state laws currently dictates the deals athletes can make, ESPN reported. In states lacking oversight, the NCAA requires universities to establish policies for their athletes.

Highlighting the lucrative potential of NIL deals, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, son of Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders, holds the top NIL valuation at $6.2 million, according to media and tech company On3. His endorsements include Nike, Beats by Dre and Google.

This is the simple answer to why everything is out of control in college sports. It’s big business. People with money and power don’t want rules and regulations.

I completely agree on handling it that way, but, what do you do when half your team has similar demands or they transfer out. You can take a hard stance on this as a coach but there is always someone willing to pay and take on the headache somewhere else. Coaches are in an impossible spot right now thanks to the current state of things.

You do it the Jimmy Johnson way. Jimmy said if he caught Emmitt Smith sleeping during film study he would tell him to wake up and pay attention. If he caught the third-string LB sleeping, he'd cut him. Know who to make an example out of and who not.

You wind up like the Marshall coach. Basically just throw your hands up and say, we can't play because half the team left, we don't have a QB on the team.

The whole system is broken.

My son plays on his high school JV basketball team and listening to some of the other parents is really informative in terms of what they think they know as opposed to what they actually know and what their expectations are as opposed to the reality of the team/games/competition/etc.

Every man in the country thinks he can do two things:
1) Grill a steak
2) Coach football

I think many were aware that this type of situation existed but did not know that it was a formal condition of Milroe’s agreement with the program in thi case.

This doesn’t make sense. Why then go through the sham QBs competition? Just award JM the job and move on if you’ve made the big mistake of formally bowing to his demands.

My misinterpretation of what was presented on this msg board was that this was a situation that developed as the preseason and season went on. I.e., they blindsided CNS with it. Did not know it was part of his formal agreement.

Anyway, if CNS agreed to such an arrangement it is all on him. We can have sympathy since things were new and having the terrifying specter of a “racial issue” arising would cause anyone to pause but to sign off on such a agreement, if this was how things transpired, was “unwise”.

But reflecting back on that season it did not seem to develop that way. It seemed to develop in-season. But that is a view from afar.

I'm not saying it was apart of Milroe's situation. I'm just stating that people thought anything in this line of thinking was absurd on any level and couldn't and wasn't going on in the realm of NIL deals and player power. It is happening in many different forms and these coaches find themselves handcuffed between keeping a competitive team and standing behind their principles. Many of them just decide to retire...

[uaintn]

This is not true. I suck at grilling....

 

[oskie]

I tried to do both in my younger days. I wasn't good at either one.

So, I haven't done either one in over 50 years.

Too many parents today aren't parenting. We are coddlers and buddies. We let them get away with bloody murder at home and when they do it out in public or at school we want to come up to the school and play "Billy Bad Butt" and defend them instead of hold them accountable. The sad part is you can only do this for so long until the repercussions of said behavior are out of your control. Society as a whole is doomed for failure unless something changes soon. <End Rant>

In his one unguarded remark about retiring, CNS said 80% said "How much are you going to pay me and how much are you going to play me?" Right then, I knew the next HC had a major problem. Not all of those guys transferred...
