This is a warranted new thread.

I hate redundant threads... but for the love of Forfeit State mockery this maude will happily allow it.

This kid is not a competitor if he goes to Jackson State, jesus.

Not a competitor if he goes to FSU either.

 

[ScoJacks]

This could be college football's NIL jump-the-shark moment. Even I didn't think it would get this ridiculous. Might as well just have an auction.

I understand these kids being able to benefit from their likeness, but how could this not be considered pay for play?? Telling a kid we will give you $$$ if you go here but not there? Isn’t that what everyone has complained about and try to outlaw in CFB? I know we all hate the NCAA but someone, either NCAA or the schools themselves have to get this under control. It’s become open season for boosters and now giant companies to pay unwarranted $$$ to sway 18yr olds. I just don’t see how this doesn’t ruin CFB

Also, the star LB for the Colts went to an HBCU, South Carolina State. Don’t remember if he went in the first though. And FAMU’s safety Markquese Bell is getting top 3 round grades from some places.

It’s possible nowadays to go to a HBCU and still get drafted high

 

[Cribby]

Is there any actual smoke of Armella to Miami or are we all just doing some wishful thinking with this?

Mario effect. He’s made them at least think about it enough to push the decision back.

 

[FL Cane]

They’re freaking out on their boards. Saw one guy say how could Hunter pass up the chance to play in the 23’ ACC Championship. These guys haven’t been bowl eligible in three years and they’re talking about a conference championship .

although I think you said that jokingly which I appreicate because FSU sucks


but that's wrong, ACC football is the same competition we play. Jackson state is peewee football compared to even the ACC

 

[Reyrey]

If he is good enough he will go to the NFL, don’t matter where. He can make a lot money. Playing for dion I’m sure has its pluses. He probably will get to play both ways again. And it’s an HBCU. It’s really not far outta the question.

 

[aelmiami]

Sure it is. You would be eviscerating Stewart because you're a Miami fan, as would anyone else on this board.

If it's the money, he could get substantially the equivalent by going to GA, Bama, TX, OSU, USC.

This would be a stupid move and I hope he has some adults in the room advising him.

I wouldn’t say anything because it’s not my decision. I’d also understand why he’d leave for that deal because it’s millions of dollars. You can’t say a guy going to Bethune Cookman is the same as playing for Deion Sanders and signing the reported deal that has been offered. We don’t know the exact terms of the deal but if they make this kid a national brand his value exceeds whatever bag UGA would’ve dropped. When you look at this from a brand/business perspective it makes sense. If this kid chooses to go to FSU and suffers a career altering injury is it still a good decision?

 

[305to954]

This warranted it’s own hour long special on ESPN if true

[dycane]

That doesn't even make sense.

 

[WeBallinBoyz]

He technically has until Friday if he's an EE right?

 

[EVR211]

first, Mario isn't a ref so he doesn't speak that way.
second, armella's dad isn't cuban IIRC so he wouldn't know what that means

Que lo que

 

[305to954]

Just for perspective..this would be like Duke Johnson flipping..to FLOMO

 

[Canesfan1899]

This would be the best early Christmas a canes fan could get.

 

[Trav]

He might flip but it won't be to MF'n Jackson St. It'll be to the SEC.

 

[CreativeCane]

 

[Canefrom1991]

This HAS to be a joke…right? I know y’all are going to say I’m dumb for thinking he’s serious, but these dudes are delusional so I feel like I’m right to question.

#1 player in the nation shouldn't go to a team that continuously has a losing record. Their players are no bets then Jacksonville st, lol
