Good take. Still a traitor.

 

[Xerxes_]

He's a very wise man.

He took money to be a Badger.

i mean shit his work there landed him as a coach in the NFL.

Well said.....will fall on deaf ears as everyone continues to focus on money but he isn't wrong.

It sucks that most of the talk around college football and basketball isn't about what is happening on the field/court, it is all about money and lawsuits. So much of what used to make college athletics special has been removed in this current landscape.

I was thinking the same. To Hammock "Bye Felicia! Bye!!!"

Hammock can't talk loyalty or commitment in a very good way to recruits due to his lack of commitment to Coach Kill. He bailed on him shortly after making the commitment to stay as a coach. We aren't talking about a 16 year old kid here.

A lot of the folks who are taking NIL money will end up in the NFL too.

Now? Been coach at NIU for quite awhile now.

‘We didn’t come here to play school.’

I like Thomas’s take. At NIU he has to play that way. But unfortunately others aren’t playing that game.

Not a traitor. He wanted to grow quickly, Kill told him he was going to have to sit behind his long term henchmen so he departed.
