It’s only b/c we’re getting some shine. To see Ruiz in the top 3 of this so-called NIL collective is outstanding, & it’s ruffling some feathers. To me, I think the portal is more of a problem than NIL. I think the two, combined, is a monstrosity. If any of the two needed to be curtailed more...

Appreciate u, my friend. But yeah man; a lot of folks can’t handle big $$, that’s why even though he’s not my GOAT, I respect LBJ & how he moved. He was smart to cut off certain folks, surround himself w/ others, & keep himself as an entity. With NIL, I hope these youngsters see this as an...

Speaking of NIL Bijan from UT just inked a Lambo NIL deal w/ a dealership in Austin, TX

My father & I were talking about this. I told him, I would love to see student athletes have special courses w/ someone versed in this arena. I used to the love watching this show called “The Lottery Changed My Life.” You would see some success stories, and a whole slew of tragedy. The ones who...

I agree, but I slightly disagree w/ ur first premise. How many scholarship athletes don’t pan out on the field, but are able to secure a career in another fields b/c of that offer? I’ve had friends who never received an academic scholarship, saddled w/ Student Loans who openly complained...

Couldn’t agree more. For the record, we’re playing by the rules. ****, the “tampering” allegations against SC, that’s bull chit; b/c again, there’s zero parameters. So SC is playing by the rules. This is the cause & effect when things r not thought through. Iirc, one of the lead politicians...

The LBJ argument is a good one; however, there’s one flaw in that: LBJ didn’t sign w/ Nike to go play for the Cleveland Cavs. So when u see a case like Nico who chose TN b/c of their NIL offer (even though UTK “didn’t” offer the NIL, it was through their boost…uhruh, NIL collective) that’s the...

I’ve mulled this situation for a while; you are absolutely right about the audacity of the SEC clutching their, proverbial, pearls. There’s an elephant in the room, that a lot of folks have either dismissed or diminished, and that’s the scholarship aspect. A scholarship is defined as “a grant...

I’ve touched on this b4, as well. I peruse other boards & some other fan bases have said the same; the counter was “these coaches r earning their $$ by their performance; coaches work their way up to those figures, not start off.” Technically, that counter argument is correct. None of the elite...

I think there’s a consensus among many pundits, & fans that parameters need to be set, more less guidelines. I love NIL for the players, along w/ players’ freedom of options. However, even in professional sports there’s guidelines to FA & player movement. With that being said: 1. The NCAA...

Man, one of these days ya’ll will listen to ur boy. They been bytching & crying for a while; some of ya’ll don’t understand some of these boosters r politicians. Lol. This chit has utterly backfired in their face.
