Tennessee QB holding out for more $$$

I fucking hate NIL.

Let him walk

The importance of recruiting non-retards will continue to increase in the NIL era.

Yeah he wasn’t that good for TN. I mean I would take him (but not over DR) but he’s an an AA-caliber player from what I saw from him last year.

Live by the NIL, die by the NIL

Makes you glad we didn’t end up with his brother. I get NIL is the way of the world now but active contract negotiations is insane.

This is basically what Princewill did to Nebraska throughout the whole 2024 season.

I'm old enough to remember when everyone clutched their pearls when Rhule said it would take $1m to get a transfer QB.

Glad he's gone then.

He wasn't good enough to pull that shit. Or he didn't give 100% effort due to it.

Either way, peace.

I fucking hate NIL.

I just want it to get ridiculous now. Multiple players on every team demanding 6-7 figures or they are out. If that's what it takes to finally fix the fucking joke that CFB is then so be it.

He might have been good enough, but the current structure of NIL allows kids to make ridiculous demands. If I am a free agent that signs with an NFL team, I am taking that contract in the offseason, cashing my signing bonus, and then there are no negotiations or restructuring requests occurring during the season.

But what occurs in College Football when there are no rules? What does that do to a kid's motivation?

In modern college football, a player can suddenly excel and then he has the leverage to demand more money. That's where NIL, the transfer portal, and NIL has failed the sport. The kid can just stop playing, mid season, and say, "I want more money. I'm sitting out."

There needs to be 1 year or multi year contracts put in place. Let's think about this from a Nebraska perspective:

What if Dylan goes off for 3,000+ 25td+, and less than 10 picks next season? I bet Nebraska wins 10+ games in that scenario. Should Raiola just stop trying to be the highest paid college QB in the sport? No way. What happens if teams are tossing out 8 figure numbers to him during or after Spring?

We all know that's going to happen.

Lastly, I feel like we are on the verge of reaching a point where marginal young kids are actually halting their own development because of pay days.

And who would fault them? If my children were 19 and had the chance to earn 2 million instead of 400k, I'm supporting my kids 100%.

I don’t fault people but once you game out the system as it is right now this type of bullshit will be very, very common.

And that’s not good for anyone,

Good to see Shannon standing up for his employee honestly. Sounds like some true info was leaked that the family didn’t want out
