Paying Players (per BJ's latest piece)

CashMoneyCane said:
OK, I'm as against paying the players as anyone. And I mean dropping bags. Players should be paid by the NCAA.

But there are smart ways to do it, if we were to. I worked for years in Private Banking, which included extensive estate planning and transfer of assets. I'm pretty certain there are ways we could structure "compensation" that does not violate NCAA rules.

Here's an example: A bunch of the fanbase comes together to donate to a single asset pool, that is used for private scholarships for athletes. There is no limit on scholarship money a college student can receive. I've known people that got paid to go to school (I could have, at UF). Just one thought.

Do it, but do it within the rules by being creating, instead of overtly breaking the rules, which we'll never get away with.

Yes! UM should hire you. Private Bankers excel in creating LLC's upon LLC's to hide stuff.

Plenty of ways to do this. We could offer family members decent paying BS jobs at boosters companies that they don't actually need to show up for example.

If you really feel like that, and not just you D. You can’t blame Rumph, Banda etc for missing on top recruits. tc, judas jobe, jj, ps and the list goes on CLEARLY took the bag.

That to me is a little more suspect, but not saying no. Point is, YES, there are a MILLION ways to provide value without handing over a burlap sack with a dollar sign on it.

Separately... how about a burlap sack with a dollar sign on it for touchdown celebrations?

Way better than FSU's "securing the bag" purse.

We'd never make it throwing bags around; too many snitches in the fanbase....

This is the correct answer. Keep in mind, we had a rogue boosters before. We only got caught because someone opened their f**king mouth. In Shapiro's case, he did it himself.

We can pay the bag game (if we had the funds) but if Kosi cant keep a **** half *** *** tape off IG, no way in **** he gon keep $20 secret. :-/

Just gotta figure out where the bags are dropped...snatch them up and tell the recruit where we will drop a bag for them. Problem solved. :alien:

Oh for sure. There are TONS of ways to pull this off and I am sure some of the sketchier members of the BOT have some really really good tactics to pull this off.

LMAO that would be hilarious and much better than the turnover purse.

My parents make six figures, I went to college on a scholarship, and I sure as **** didnt get a $70,000 car.

Actually I dont know anyone in my upper-middle class neighborhood who had their parents drop that on a car.

Nolan got paid a lot and that truck is just an appetizer.

Exactly this. Could they afforda 70k truck? Probably. Would anyone making 6 figures drop 70k on their sons first car? 0 chance. Would someone who is making 6 figures be willing to accept a couple hundred grand to play for a school. Absolutely. People act like middle class and wealthy people are immune to bags. People making millions a year accept bribes all the time. Look up any corrupt politician that gets busted. They are accepting tiny bribes of like 10k or tickets to games to break laws. You think a gamily making 200k a year isn't going to accept 200k straight cash to go to UGA instead of NC state? LMAO

You know what would work the best? Have fans put together a pool, then use it to lend families of recruits money to buy a home. Charge the exact same rate as the the federal government does for guaranteed loans. Lend them 103% of the value of the home. Make it a nice home. If they default, just send them letters for a decade.
 
Just curious who some of you think will be filling those bags. This fantasy world some of you live in where our alumni base has the size, passion and financial desire to be paying millions to fill a recruiting class astonishes me.

Bama paid off Saban's $7 million mortgage just because they just didn't know what else to do with all the extra money they had. If Dabo told Clemson he needed to pay someone $500k just to walk behind him carrying a bottled water and a notepad they'd do it.

That's not what we are. It's light years better in legit finances than it's ever been, but that level of crazy will never be us.

I am more worried about paying coaches than I am paying players. In my opinion this is what has set Miami back - not enough money to attract top flight assistants.
 
Retards in this thread think Miami has the boosters to drop bags.

We don’t have those guys and there’s no system in place.

Add to that the fact we have the cheapest fūcking fanbase in CFB, fans that contribute at a level multiples below even middle of the road P5 teams, and you’ll see why this dropping bags talk is pure delusion.

It ain’t happening...I wish we had a stealth bag infrastructure...but we don’t.

Only morons think this is happening, morons that don’t understand what goes on at UM.

The fact that you just named the entire hypothetical "booster" network let's us know it wouldn't work! Lol the boosters wouldn't make it past a message board in secret.
