I posted this elsewhere, Pollock was a first round pick and didn't wait to "earn or prove" it in the NFL, like he wants these players to do. Instead he actually held out of more than half of training camp.

... and yet the commonplace mindset is why some of us feel a Greg Sankey invite will never come Miami's way — regardless of how much ESPN (or any future SEC media partner) would love to have the Canes in the fold.

The "NFL stadium and casual fan base" stigma is just convenient cover.

The greatest fear for the UT-Austin's and UGA's and Bama's and so on in that College Football remains the Wild Wild West, Miami gets it rolling and there isn't **** SEC leadership can do about it

It is 4, the same figure that freaking Duke is paying their QB as well. Funny that isn't mentioned, though.

How much did Duke cough up for Cooper Flagg or Cameron Boozer?

And those numerous top 5 prospects Nike "compensated" to play for their boy Coach K?

Duke's stellar academic reputation has long provided a lot of camouflage for their rule-breaking in basketball recruiting

Can you imagine ESPN's coverage of the Canes if/when we end up in the Big Ten as the only traditional power in the Southeast region not in The Worldwide Leader's portfolio? 😏
 
Sweet baby jesus this is a bad take:

1. Tackle is one of the most valuable positions in the NFL. The good ones get paid A LOT. If you are allocating resources, you probably want to make sure offensive tackle is near the top of the list.

2. There is no salary cap, so whether we pay the guy 2 million or 3 million, I am not sure that changes anything in regards to the rest of the roster.

3. You shouldn't pay him because he is more likely to get hurt than a QB? Just grasping at straws with this argument.

4. His development argument makes such little sense that he corrects himself mid-take. First he tries to say "well the transfer portal lets you get players in immediately" as if first-round tackles are widely available in the portal. Then he starts to say Miami's offensive line hasn't been good before correcting himself mid sentence and saying last year they were actually pretty good. Then he spends a bunch of hot air talking about wanting to make sure he goes somewhere where he can be a Top 10 pick without even bothering to mention that Miami has the best offensive tackle in the country going in the Top 10 next season.

I am not big on the "this guy is biased" argument, but coming from someone who actually lightly defended Stacy Searels in the great "who is better at developing offensive linemen" debate of 2025, Pollack sounds like a Georgia fan throwing a hissy fit here.
