Really? So, it’s legal to interfere with players not in the portal, or was it X that sought it out?
Texas Recruiting
- Thread starter StrangerHorn
- Start date
Illegal for a coach or school. Not illegal for an agent to aproach a kid and say "hey I hear USC is handing out some big NIL deal for guys with your talent".
Once agents get more involved you'll see this happen much more, next is kids holding out of fall camp to renegotiate their salary. Honestly, I'm about done with college sports.
Blood sucking leaches in the ear of impressionable young kids. Again, adults that only care about money under the guise of "it's about the kids" are going to ruin everything
Free Agency in college athletics. The end of my enjoyment of college sport. No longer the alma mater bond between fan and player.
He only stayed because we matched. Jahdae Barron is hitting the portal because Oregon offered him 200k.
It's like the wild west right now. They have got to re evaluate at some point and put some caps on these numbers. It's only going to get crazier if they don't. This gives the smaller schools no chance in hell to land these guys.
I think part of the fix to the NIL situation is the NIL agreement itself. I assume some kind of agreement is signed. Make these guys(especially the elite ones) sign 2 and 3 year contracts where they can’t be bribed in to the portal without being in breach of contract. Now you’ll still have lesser players transfer because they think they can get a better deal elsewhere but you had that pre nil it was just about playing time then.
In the words of Lee Corso…. Not so fast my friend.
Jahdae Barron remaining with the Texas football program
Despite flirting with the idea of entering the transfer portal, junior defensive back Jahdae Barron will remain with the Longhorns.
This is not good for college football.
Here’s a screenshot of the Tweet from this NCAA insider before it was suspiciously deleted.
Ha ha, Red doing his thing. I hope Red destroys Lincoln riley and USC. It's all fun and games til our billionaires start playing.
Imagine if the IVYs and Stanford gave a shit about football...
Like Worthy, Barron appears set to remain with the Longhorns in the final hours before the deadline for the school to officially put his name into the portal.
Unless this isn't correct....
Oh well life is a b!+ch right? They can get over it....but this could be the end of college sports.....blame this on Ed O'Bannon that guy got the ncaa video games stopped and now this NIL crap....
Don't care for Riley doing that, but he's trying to portal the best for usc. Would have been worse if Riley was still at ou.
Thanks, Worthy, for staying w the good guys.🤘
I'm not against the players getting paid at all. I just think these numbers need to be capped so it doesn't create an unfair advantage for smaller schools.
Rico Gathers was one that I remember.
I don’t think they can cap it. That would seem to go against the Supreme Court ruling. They need to do something but not sure capping it is going to be the answer
Make them sit out a year but grant waiver for head coaching change.
Give options
Transfer and sit a year, don't lose eligibilty
Transfer and play immediately, losing 2 years of eligibility
That’s an option. You can also make the elite guys sign 3 or 4 year deals when they agree to NIL deals. That would eliminate some of the underhanded stuff in the portal
I think the other receivers thought they had a chance too which might of been a factor in Washington and Dixon transferring.
Well yeah him.....but I was thinking more like Antonio Gates
I like option No 1 as a fan. Option 2 gives them what they want, to be in college for the shortest time possible. They are here for my enjoyment screw their best interests. So far Riley has opined that there needs to be parameters on the transfer portal AFTER he raided OU's roster, next he cried when Oregon out NIL'd him to a top Oline recruit recently and called for parameters on NIL, here he is again, now with allegations of tampering etc.
Here's something being discussed
