Going price for portal qb (according to matt rhule)

[DTP]

If nothing is done, unionization feels inevitable. On its own, paying players wouldn't be so bad. But when combined with the portal it creates free agency. The two cannot continue to coexist in their current form.

The one thing they can do with NIL is actually commit to enforcing tampering rules, while attaching heavy penalties to schools that are caught breaking them. Yes there would still be ways to get around the rules. But it would definitely slow things down.

Then with the portal, the NCAA would need to change the rules to something like.. players aren't allowed to transfer without sitting for a year unless they've been enrolled as full time students for at least 2 years or they've earned a specific number of credits. They could still grant waivers for things like coaching changes.

Separating the two is the only thing they can do to slow it down. And it would likely only be a temporary fix.

Agreed. It's still very much the wild west. Also, we're only going into year 3 of NIL. We're very much only in the short term and nobody's seen the long term effects yet. I still think that things will eventually level out once the initial craziness wears off.

We only hear about the huge deals too so I think a lot of the panic is overhyped. Most of these kids aren't getting a million dollars. We tend to just assume player X is making a ton of money but there's very little evidence for that outside of a handful of big name quarterbacks.

But he's likely not wrong

For sure not wrong, but still a dbag

Sure, but if you a University Miami fan (or a fan of virtually any other team) it basically destroys the sport. There's no continuity. Quality of play declines drastically. Recruiting becomes absolutely meaningless. Why get excited about a Fletcher or Bain because these are all year to year guys. A #1 class is irrelevant. Your team flips its entire roster every year. Everyone becomes Colorado.

It would be the same if all NFL or NBA players were signed to perpetual one year deals. The drafts for either sport would be meaningless. San Antonio could be thrilled about drafting Victor Wembanyama after a bad season in 2023; who cares however when the Los Angeles Lakers sign him one year later leaving the Spurs no better off.

Everyone has the same rules and winning takes more than money. Ask ATM.

Not wrong.
But one has to realize that if a Nebraska, with its massive alum and boosters plus Big10 money, is concerned for the going price of an elite portal QB, then we probably should be worried as well.

Berkshire Hathaway is going to buy The University of Nebraska They'll be renamsd the Buffeteers. Buffet is putting down a budget of 200 mil a year for NIL.

I feel bad for the schools with zero NIL or bags . Who are literally a farm system: Nebraska isn’t one.

@Cribby little anecdote about that ... I went to the BC game, and I have to say, I was thinking there is no way this college is set up to succeed in the new reality. It's a beautiful campus and a great academic school. But I can't imagine them ever competing with NIL, much less bagging up. They are so far below our level in every single way now, yet we're somehow still grouped in with them. That will all change over the next couple of years.

Wouldn't even blink now that Munger is gone and Buffett is in his sunset. All that inheritance money has to be spent on ego building by the next generation.

But…he was just an NFL HC!! WTF is he complaining about???

He sounds like players are his slaves. How many jobs train people and they leave for hiring paying jobs? This ain't 1619 buddy

Peanuts compared to what we gave Ward. Kid must suck.

 

[The U is back to work]

I just don’t get where this $ is coming from. $600k is not a small amount of money that’s the cost of a solid position coach on staff. Floored these programs raise this type of money each year even at somewhere like KSU offering $600k

Really really rich ppl who really really love their school/team and have disposable income to spend on college athletes.

The money should be coming from the university. The biggest scam ever created was the ncaa. They make all the money and have the fans pay for the rosters and players. It’s amazing but that’s how it’s always been.

Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi is actually a very good QB.

Put up over 3,460yds & 22TD's as a True Freshman. He threw a lot of picks as well, but that can be fixed, especially considering he played on one of the worst teams in the MW last year.

He's definitely a P4 talent & will be a highly sought after commodity in this upcoming Winter Portal.

The money was always there, it just wasn't legal to show it out in the open.

But boosters have been paying for recruits since the 70's.

I was half joking. I really don’t know anything about the kid, just making a joke about the absurd amount Cam got. But when he’s in NYC for the Heisman ceremony, it’ll be a wise investment.

Cam ward is probably the highest paid player in the country. How does that make me feel as a fan of this team?



FIRED UP!!!

It is mind bending to me as well. But I do think a lot of the people running the show at universities have been living the good life and now may have to give some of that up.

I think Gabriel got a stuffed bag to transfer to Oregon. Not only did they get him but also nabbed Dante Moore in the same off season. Imagine how much that took.

My guess is a mil for Gabriel and 400 for Moore with a future front runner seat for the starting gig and then a renegotiation
