I’m curious as to why Burnt Vegetables didn’t try to step in and defend his coach. He needs to show some leadership here. Also what about the player who had the N word on his IPad? Is anything going to happen to him? Probably not but will be interesting to follow.
Everything I’m reading says this went well over the HC’s head. I saw a presser from Venables on Monday, I believe, his Fall camp presser and everyone was wondering why his demeanor was totally subdued, I think he was dealing with this deal, at least that’s my opinion.
NIL is an endorsement contract between the athlete and a 3rd Party. Coaches will have very limited ability to do anything regarding funds especially if the players hired agents to negotiate the contracts.
Who said coaches? OU scholarship players are making $40,000-$50,000 a year as a base salary so to speak and whatever else on top of that. An NIL deal doesn’t ensure a player a position on a roster and they must meet certain criteria to be in good standing with that NIL deal. I’d be willing to bet the player’s conduct is also being scrutinized under this scenario.
You can't strip the player of the NIL because it's a 3rd party source and doesn't have anything to do with the university.
Ahhhh I see, you don’t think there’s any collusion? You think the NIL booster just went rogue and signed Arch Manning up with no direction from the inside? Come on man, you’re not that naive. You think it’s just a free for all if a player signs an NIL? Really? No requirements on the players part?
The players definitely have to take responsibility. Yes, the NIL boosters are separate from the school but if they had any integrity they would be the one to exercise punishment to the player in the form of a cancelled NIL agreement. I’m certain there are conduct clauses in those NIL contracts.
There's already conduct clauses built into those NIL contracts. It's just like any other contract. But the school isn't the one pulling the strings on the money end of it, that i'm sure of. You really think some billionaire is going to let another person tell him what to do with is money? I think not.
I think we're kind of saying the same thing here. I'm not saying the school is pulling ALL of the strings but I am saying that a school through back channels is having a hell of a lot of input. Let use Arch Manning as an example. And @clob94 already eluded to this previously, and it happens at every school, a prospective athlete is made aware during recruitment through whatever channel, that there is a certain amount of NIL money dedicated to him. Now, say during that recruitment "enticement" period, the Manning camp is not enthused with the amount of NIL money dedicated for the QB and tell the boosters etc. through whatever channel that they are not happy with that enticement and believe that they deserve at bigger enticement.
Not sure what "processed" implies in this context, but like MM stated, there is a double standard. Some here are overly naive if they believe there will be any meaningful consequence for the player. No NIL contributor would be willing to publicly reprimand a player, for acting within his accepted cultural norms, and risk the ire of the woke SJWs.
I'm friends with a former IMG head coach. Those deals seem to be similarly structured.
Just pretty much the same as everyone is talking about.
There are layers of protection for the universities for the time being. 👍
I heard he was getting some work at C but Majors is going to be the starter game 1. Also sounds like the freshman are moving up the depth chart pretty quick.
Hoping we don't have a big ego thing going on and lazy playbook studier because Arch will know the playbook.
It’s pretty concerning that he hasn’t picked up on the playbook by now. I have heard Sark’s offense is pretty complex though. He better get his nose in that playbook if he wants to become a great QB. You won’t find many really good QBs that aren’t avid students of the game.
I’m rooting for you guys to have a dominate Oline because I don’t want Will aAnderson to win the Heisman going away in the 2nd week because we’ve got a dark horse Samoan Southpaw cinderella story unfolding on our hands this year.
There isn’t a defensive coordinator in the world losing sleep over having to face Dillon Gabriel.
