I'm more intrigued about the notion of Quinn Ewers busting while earning millions in NIL money.
- Kid foregoes his senior year of HS to take the money at Ohio State- I don't blame him, but really set him back in development.
- Now at Texas with huge NIL deal. By many accounts Hudson Card has been better in the Spring and likely will start in the Fall.
Fascinating scenario:
-Hudson Card starts in 2022
- Card and Manning share time in 2023.
- Manning starts in 2024.
Ewers earns more NIL money than all other Power 5 starting QBs and never starts a single game. Part of me wants that to happen... Just so people can realize some of the absurdity behind NIL.
Full disclosure: I am totally in support of players earning NIL. But I think the NIL game within the recruiting game is out of control currently, and its not sustainable.
At its core, college football is performance driven. We can't continue to pay dudes who aren't performing. The boosters with the deep pockets can't even afford that going forward.
