Transfer Portal 2023-2024...

[CB4]

He would not be a first round pick if he came out now.

He’s projected third round I believe.

At some point this becomes an unsustainable model. College athletics will be forced to move from a scholarship/student athlete model to players becoming employees of the university with employment contracts. At least that is how I see it.
This is only going to get messier.

 

[bamadwain]

Looks like Carson Beck is holding Georgia football hostage. He wants $4mil or he will transfer to the NFL. If I were Kirby, that wouldn’t be a hard decision… Bye Felicia.
This is where I quit being a CFB fan. 2023 may be my last year.

I agree, it looks like these guys are wanting what they may get in a first round grade (money)

 

[bamamc1]

Brock Purdy, who started the Super Bowl for the 49ers, is making $850,000 this year. Think about that one for a minute.

 

[Power Eye]

Beck is a good, not great QB. I mean what has he accomplished as a starter, he hasn't won the NC, or even the SEC

It's really not about what he has accomplished versus his talent, and he has a ton of upside talent. He probably wouldn't be an early or mid 1st round, but maybe late 1st round or 2nd round pick, like Will Levis. To me, he should come back and get a $1M+ in NIL to set himself up for an early to mid 1st round pick next year.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

looking forward to this whole thing to come crashing down

 

[NoNC4Tubs]

This is kind of me. But it absolutely sucks. You used to get to "know" players over a four year or so period of time. Certainly compared to now and the future, rosters were stable. Players coming and going used to be the province of professional sports. No longer.

The NFL wasn't that bad in the late 60s to early 70s. Players for the most part stayed with the same team. Bart Starr played for the Packers his entire career, Bob Griese (Dolphins), etc...

When that changed, I switched and became a CFB fan.

 

[NoNC4Tubs]

Beck’s NIL compensation package more than likely needs to be at least the same amount (or more than) he’d earn for an annual salary in his 1st year in the NFL — not the the entirety of the rookie contract he signs.

In other words, last year’s No. 10 overall pick (Bears OT Darnell Wright) signed a deal worth $20.9 million — with a 1st-year salary cap number of $3.8 million.

AMF adios my friend. 4 million a year what does a 19 or 20 year old do with that amount of money? My days of watching college football maybe coming to a close.

Exactly what does NIL actually mean? I mean, how does Name, Image, Likeness equate to what he would get his first year in the NFL?

NIL is just a meaningless monicker. They should just go ahead and drop the pretense and call it what it really is.

 

[allybama2009]

to me NIL should be if you get money, you need to be doing radio or tv ads promoting a business. As of right now its just pay the athletes. If we are using their NIL, then they need to do something for that money they are given. To me it's ridiculous with the money floating around when these kids are already treated like kings. rtr

No kidding. Are we seeing a lot of advertising with multiple different players faces endorsements? I'm not other than the ones who win Heismans. You're right, they are getting paid to play.

I think we would need the courts or some other government type authority to get involved in order to distinguish a legitimate business vs a sham business and fair exchange of value, and there would be a lot of gray area, but I don't think the legal basis even exists anymore to stop "amateur" players from being paid in this way.

 

[twofbyc]

I just roll with the punches. What are you going to replace it with? Don't like it but there is nothing else better. I swore off pro ball for a while because of the kneeling protest. Eventually, I caved in from boredom.

Watching paint dry.
Now that they may do away entirely with restricting portal transfers, your pulling for an institution because the players will change en masse every year; root for them one year then against the next? Not me.

 

[9gks]

He and his father both said that he would have to compete for the job. They wanted to be assured that he would be the starter next year. Day just told them the truth.

Would CNS say anything different?

 

[bamacon]

Malik Murphy left Texas before the CFP. Said the truth. It's all about what's best for him.

Admittedly, I haven't seen Carson Beck play much. A few highlights, parts of a few games, and the SECCG. He seems a good quarterback. But not 1st round NFL great. I see him as another Matt Leinart.

Other same sporadic following of the Saints ( lived and worked in New Orleans, married a Louisiana girl ), the only time I`ve REALLY pulled for a pro team was the 60`s Packers with Coach Lombardi.

 

[davefrat]

I'm sorry, but IF this is true about Beck, Kirby should tell him to go into the draft or transfer, but he's no longer a member of the GA team if he's going to try to blackmail the entire university for his services.

Tell him he's off the team.

He’s got more leverage before they go barreling into the portal. Plus if they lose Raiola and the backup already left, he sort of has them in a bind.

They still have highly rated Gunner Stockton at QB and that is probably why the other kid left.

I think it will be player-specific or possibly sport-specific. There is no way there is enough NIL money flowing around to payout to all sports to reclassify all of them. But I've been wrong before...
