I'd argue he has to take the money now because there is no guarantees in the NFL. The kid we saw this year wasn't a lock. So better get that 5-6 million nest egg saved before starting the rest of his life.
Whom should they be appealing to for protection then?
That's the problem. The players sued to be treated like adults and get to sit at the table. The NCAA doesn't exist to protect every player from the very thing they asked for. The players need a union and they need to make rules about who...
As I recall, we don't get to pick our bowl games. We have to play the teams they assign us. We have won those games. No reason to not be happy. I guarantee, if we were on a 9 game bowl losing streak, every one in the nation would make fun of us. We've beat p5 teams. I know it isn't the...
We didn't wow anything. But we also don't have any receivers left and lots of other holes. Refs didn't really give us much and we still won. "C" effort for sure.
That for sure happens when kids get hurt or retire from football. I'm not sure that happens if you get cut, but I wouldn't know that part. I do recall several times we had guys who hung it up and stayed in school (or came back after a pro career).
They sign like everyone else. Remember, this signing period is open until Friday and then there is another one in early Feb. So players can wait, although most coaches want it done this week so they know what to look for in the portal.
Which leads to a thought I had yesterday when Koi had the long kick-off return that setup the first TD. Fleck loves to say there is no such thing as momentum. If you don't think that play changed the game, I don't know what to say. It was bigger than winning on one play. It got us in the end...
Apathy level is high for this squad. I hope they beat the badgers, but I'm heading out of hte country and will only watch if we happen to win when I get back home. Again, wouldn't spend one dollar on seeing whatever crappy bowl they play in.
