Minchey to Flip

If NIL isn’t funded at a high level it really doesn’t matter who we bring in as we won’t have the dudes to consistently compete. I would think we would struggle to attract a good staff with poor NIL in a situation where we need to over pay for at least a few years to win.
Exactly
 
It’s easy unless you’re a player, coach, staffer, or a billionaire with more money than sense. If you no control over the outcome, why care about the results either way?
You've just elimitated the entire concept of being a sports fan. I shouldn't care about outcomes unless I am directly involved in deciding the outcome? Life might be more peaceful that way, but extremely dull. No thanks. You can get right out of here with that kind of talk on a paid college football message board.

I love the team and love watching them play but at the end of the day there is nothing in my life that is any different if they win or lose. People that their day get ruined over something they have no control over are weird IMO.
 
seems like nebraska got played and minchey was waiting for the UK or other offers to come through

this post and the huskergarrett info seem to align
My guess, he knew that he was Kentucky’s backup plan and withheld that info from us. He delayed his visit to Wednesday bc UK told him they’d have an answer on Leivett by then. We said sure, no problem, we trust you Kenny. Then he got the call from UK with a higher offer.

Remember how Penn State and Michigan kept getting turned down and were on the verge of becoming national laughingstocks with their coaching search? Then they basically lucked into hiring two really good coaches after being turned down by their A list?

I am hoping Nebraska's quarterback search ends up like that.

Let me hold your dick while I tell you this … Nebraska doesn’t have that kinda luck
 
If you agree to terms with someone, send him the papers, he publicly announces he's coming, then he disappears & refuses to sign or answer your calls till he's already sealed the deal with someone else, I'm not sure what else you can do.
No doubt he fucked us. But the portal is a signing business, not a committing business. You can’t leak that you found your qb when he’s not signed. They have to know better.

The very first step is for him to sign. And if he’s not signing, despite telling espn he’s in, then you start leaking that you’re still in the market so you don’t end up looking the fool (and maybe pressure him to honor his commitment).

They are trusting a 20 year old represented by God knows what sort of fringe agent to shoot them straight. It was naive.

I find myself wondering if they heard he was sniffing around Kentucky. If they did, and didn’t head this off before it blew up in their faces, that’s bad. But it’s also bad if they don’t have the contacts to hear what’s going on. There’s no way there weren’t people in the qb market who knew what was going on with the Tech/LSU/Kentucky chain of qb interest.

Minchey definitely seems like a bad actor. But we did not play this smart at all. He can’t be the first duplicitous qb in the market, but somehow we were the first to get embarrassed like this.

The kids agent definitely just laid it out for him as it developed

Telling that the two best dealers in the game are the tech grads (land/oil guys) and Indiana grads (kelley school of business, THE feeder school for middle market finance). Two different types of absolute freaks about enforcing and weaseling contracts
