Official Mario Stands on BIDNESS!

coaches can talk tough all they want but players hold leverage now. They’re going to have to deal with it. A lecture and a stern warning ain’t going to prevent kids from leaving if the price is right. I mean, if Jeremiah Smith walked into Day’s office and said another mil or I walk, who has the power?

Jeremiah Smith is a bad example for this because he's truly the exception.

But when you have a mid-producing Nico IamaBytch doing the same -- no.

I don’t disagree with you… but this Nico and UT relationship seemed financial out the gate. Like he chose them because of the bag… not that he really wanted to be there. And because of that he’d never be fully vested in the place/program. I mean they started breaking bread on him well before he got on campus. UT was always going to be “a trick” he was going to try and squeeze what he could out of.
 
I wonder if they could legally put stipulations in to the NIL contracts that prevented players from asking for money or holding out.

And if top players like Smith played games like that, certain people behind the scenes would probably take care of problems like that in less than legal ways. At least at certain schools.

Sure. But how is Carson Beck any different? What if Beck walks into Mario’s office tomorrow, throws his feet up on the desk and says “You can’t roll into the season with Emory. Give me a few more or I’m out.” Mario can talk tough but when your job is player acquisition and retention, losing a QB that is the difference between a 10 win season and a 6 win season and now your livelihood as a HC is at issue, you sing a different tune.

I don’t blame Heupel. He’s right. And it ain’t fair. But I imagine UT is worse off now. So who really wins and loses here. Think about it. Someone is going to pay Nico.

Brother I'm not saying you were wrong. Your point is valid. I just don't agree with JS being an example because he's the exception.

Mario has already made his stance clear on the subject. "If they wanna play holdout, they might as well get out."

And quite honestly brother, if CB transferred, then the Miami AD and Boosters would take it on the chin -- not Mario. He would not be accountable in this scenario because the decision is above his head.

Friend we don’t have to play hypotheticals seeing how Mario already got bent over by an aspiring Golf Pro

Legally speaking, can a head coach pay a player(nil) via the coaches salary? (in cases where boosters cannot fund a prospect or are unwilling)

Cool. Now do this scenario in the real world where nobody cares about ADs and boosters but **** sure care about the record of their head coach.

Now do this in the modern world where a college team is ran like an NFL team. Why are college teams hiring GM's? Forming NIL collectives?

Accountability for head coaches has dropped drastically since NIL because of money. Head coaches now have the ability to argue their record based on NIL funds. This cannot be denied, right?

No. I don’t know why people don’t get this.

Schools cannot pay athletes money. At least not at until revenue sharing is officially in place.

NIL earnings come from deals between athletes and outside businesses or sponsors. Those businesses and partners may be “official sponsors” of a college, similar to how “Kia is the official car sponsorship of the University of Miami.” But those checks do not and currently cannot legally come from the University of Miami.

I see what your saying but I think fans have had enough and would side with Mario on this issue. You find another QB or roll with who you have. You let one guy renegotiate and everybody will follow. Its already out of control.

Not directly, no. That would be a violation of NCAA rules.

Now, if the coach wants to contribute money to the collective, and then the collective pays the player, nobody can stop that.
