As another poster mentioned, it’s likely not a surprise that he resigned right after the PE deal was announced.

I think they stopped signing NLIs in favor of Aid Agreements. I would be the University would want any further negative press and would be more than happy to oblige a recruit wanting to released.

There’s definitely something there. Not many administrative assistants see a 55% pay increase in 1 year. That increase makes it harder for me to believe that Michigan did not know which probably leaves them exposed if she tries to file a suit.

Would be nice to see them go out and get transfers that would a lot in ahead of 2 of the 5 mentioned above.

I’m just impressed this guy found the time to coach football! He had a full extracurricular schedule!

If this post is any evidence, I’d say only one of us is trying to win or be a drama queen “on a free anonymous chat board” but hey at least you got to mention your “salad days”. Congratulations on your accomplishments! Don’t forget to ice your shoulder!

There’s a lot to unpack there… Just a few thoughts/questions on this situation: 1. It appears she became pregnant was forced to have an abortion. 2. She received a large raise around what seems to be the same time period 3. What did the university know when approving that raise? 4. Did Moore...

Plus it seems like kids are able to get a release rather easily nowadays.

Cade McConnell and Martes Lewis were OL starters at their new schools.

“I wrote a sizable check, and he went to another school. I didn’t even get so much as a Thank You note.” I think that statement can be interpreted as expecting the kid to thank him directly.

Add a couple CBs and I’m in a very similar boat. Less talent at RB can be masked by other positions where that deficiency can’t be masked as well at others.

Go back and re-read this whole thread and check out your reactions to certain posts and tell me how you’d “interpret” the stance your taking on this subject.

This interview does a good job of exposing the degrading nature of the current pay arrangement. The fact that it seems people think these athletes need to express gratitude for receiving compensation for performing a service for their school is absolutely ridiculous.

Hope this made you feel better.

I didn’t say you said it was the athletes responsibility. I agree something should be done to acknowledge those that donate. I’m clarifying where that acknowledgement should originate. It’s not the kids fault that Troy wasn’t acknowledged and there shouldn’t be an expectation for the kids...

The lack of response isn’t on the athlete though. The donor relations arm of the UCLA NIL collective should’ve handled.

In fairness, Drake doesn’t have money. His family has money. Additionally, I agree on Taylor. At this point, he’s a luxury. Can the Gophers fund the positions (OL and DL) they need to fund to be good AND keep him.

I would describe 3 out of the 4 teams you named as mercenary squads as well. Tech is doing exactly what the rest of the P4 teams in the CFP are doing but are getting attention because they’re Tech.

Such an awkward spot to put these players for no other reason than to avoid paying players directly for as long as possible.

Right. That’s probably why he never succeeded at this level given his size. He was billed and used as if he was fast but that was never the case. Stevens seems to be legitimately fast. I guess we will find out.
