“There's a league-wide limit on the total amount of compensation for rookies with specific salary parameters for each draft slot. Teams have maximum and minimum amounts that can be spent on their picks based on draft position.

All contracts for draft choices are four years. Each pick in the draft has a salary floor and ceiling in the first year and over the four years of the contract. There are very few negotiable items with rookie contracts anymore.”

You would think the big universities would be using this public information as somewhat of a guideline from maybe the second round of the draft?
Its not a contract with the league, that's the problem. Sure Trask can make 800k a season for the next 4 years but 30 million off endorsements if someone wanted to pay it. I have a feeling this Rojas character promised the world and then peaced out, depending on what paperwork was shuffled back and forth and what promises were made, you might find the Collective going into bankruptcy protection at some point.

@pdizz22: tweet of the year

This makes as lot more sense as to why both sides have been ultra quiet about it.
That should be the kids problem, not ours.
Glad we are walking away from that and this is going to be a major part of what is wrong with this crap.

the bigger issue if true, and whats beginning to be lost in all this, is why in the cinnamon toast FCK is a pencil necked gumby looking MFer getting 6/7 mil a year deals for doing absolutely nothing yet in college? :facepalm:

I mean, the money is what it is, however it's the details in these contracts that none of these fuching kids or their parents are going to thoroughly pay attention to. And it's not like these people have lawyers already backing them, most of the time.

Scummy lawyers, reps, and NIL dealers looking to cash in.

Well, looks like Billy is rolling with Mertz. Yikes. Can we sign Lagway now?

I only have one question I want answered. If GC, or the administration, or the staff or the waterboy is as disorganized and ineffective as many have claimed in this endless thread how have we managed to pull in a very good recruiting class, managed to get some quality transfers thru the portal, retained key contributors from last season and satisfied their NIL requests? I have always believed if the issues seem to attract the same individual that individual needs to look in the mirror to find the problem. Seems obvious to me the problem is named Rashada.

My read- pitiful. So it does appear from that, if factual, we could have been somewhat negligent in our review or due diligence in understanding what we were agreeing to?
if it was negated on 12/7......were we negligent?

Seems to me he still signed 2 weeks AFTER that.

What I took from the article is that our collective did not take the time, have the legal wherewithal, or the council to understand what we might be agreeing to and subsequently liable for. Did you take from it that it was Rashada who in some way is at fault?
