Well, I wish him the best. He was too soft and outplayed by almost everyone, though.

Why did you capitalize "apes"?

Noun....

Noun....

Wow, all this time I had no idea you're supposed to capitalize all nouns. My elementary school teachers were full of sh!t.

I think you meant "Teachers".

You've given Gatorchatter so much money you can't annoy me anymore. I just read your post, immediately think of a pile of cash, and a calm comes over me. Makes it easy to just scroll on by.

Explain how that is stupid.....Myself and others are fed up with guys no smarter than Apes for the most part taking up schollies from well deserved students who don't qualify for them....If these players want to be paid give a base like I laid out and then make them actually earn any more than that by producing on the field kinda like real life for most of the rest of us.

Maybe stupid was the wrong word, delusional may have been better. There’s nothing inherently wrong with your proposal except that it has nothing to do with reality. You can’t put more stringent academic requirements on them without ruining the product because most aren’t qualified to attend university in the first place. You can’t force them to attend class unless it’s a class that requires and takes attendance. Most of the auditorium classes didn’t care if you attended back in my days at UF. And it’s already been determined that it’s unconstitutional to restrict their ability to make money off of their NIL so there’s zero chance of reversing that and they aren’t going to turn down 100’s of thousands of dollars or millions for 15-20 thousand.

The era of buying players with donors money is here to stay. They will have to try to figure out how to put some restrictions on the above the table portion or it will continue to spiral out of control.

I agree and realize it can't go backward. I just wish someone would have addressed it in a manor like the one I laid out. I also think most would agree that there are more deserving "students" than those who come to P5 CFB programs (for the most part, not all)to play football.

Nah, "stupid" was fine, but... Protip #8703: use "stoupit." That way no one takes it personally as an individual, while your intent was definitely personal... "stoupit" people can't tell the difference.

You're welcome!

Im wondering when the era of donors paying full rides for players so they dont have to give a scholly will arrive. I mean, that wont be us for a while since we are struggling to get 85 players our donors would actually have to pay NIL to first but Im sure its coming. The ole gray shirt is now feasibly legal.

 

[neteng]

Yeah, no, well, it's a process, relative to the portal acquisitions.

patience...their process is deliberate and slow, and will NOT be skipped for haste.

Willing to accept any small favors thrown our way. Good luck young man. Might need to learn what the word "effort" means before deciding on your next destination.

The 300K averaged didn’t come from him. It came from the Orlando Sentinel writer (I can’t think of his name) that was a guest on his show.

But he did say pretty much all kids get signing bonuses. Some programs don’t do the signing bonuses, but they struggled this year competing against the schools that do.

But if you know somebody who’s already gone through it, I would trust your word over his.

Well, it was one case, so I don’t have a ton of data. But it was a high profile kid at one of the highest profile schools at the moment that would’ve definitely been a big NIL deal. I found it odd, but without sounding brash, they had no money. There was a definite sense that they’d be getting paid over the next year. But even that was nowhere near the numbers I’ve heard being thrown around. Who knows? The whole thing is so vague.

Good plan if the soccer teams are recruiting from the same portal

Or a university with a bullfighting team. He'd make a great matador.

a 2020 commit, therefore a Mullenz recruit?

Jeebus this is the kind of news we needed.

We deserve some great news after the last month, year, and decade.
