Not saying some random tight end or shooting guard is Shaq-level, but there seems to be a lot of leeway out there and room for big money in advertising, I can see the numbers for a star college player getting to the $2M level pretty quick, for not much work.
Not thrilled about that one. I thought he would be our #1 punter the next couple of years.
But are we interested in Nitro Tuggle??? Great name.
Some signs were there. When Pinton (sp) was co-punting with Robertson, and not Duley.
I just used it as an example.....What I am saying is if Pat did an appearance at the YMCA and they paid him 2 mil.....this new rule would decide that 1 appearance isn't valued at 2 million.
That is what we hoped, but I think he was struggling so far. Opens up a scholarship for us and pending if Hugh comes back he won't be needed. Pinton beat him out this year
I don’t see how you can restrict what a third party is willing to pay for an endorsement of any kind. If, say, Twin City Radiator wants to pay a player two million dollars for one autograph session, who has the authority to tell this private company that it’s overvaluing that endorsement. And the Supreme Court has already ruled that schools can’t restrict players from earning money on their name, image and likeness, so any attempt at doing so will no doubt be challenged in court and will likely lose.
He couldn’t beat out the worst Australian punter of all time and a backup kicker.
Many decades ago, before the cap on scholarships, the B1G was known as the Big2 and the Little8... and part of the reason that was the way it was, was because the scUM and tOSU sidelines were over-crowded to the tune of 120-140 players - most of which never even saw the field... The Big2 would just keep stacking players to keep them from choosing a Little8 school - AND since only 1 B1G team was even ALLOWED to go to a bowl, the kids were naturally tuned into that... But since 8 is a bigger number than 2, when to came to deciding about CHANGES, the voting was heavily skewed... for obvious reasons... As with all things in life, when 'have-nots' outnumber 'haves' and decisions about change are made by vote - The playing field always levels out somewhat (until the Have's figure out a way to game the new landscape)...
"And remember, keep looking up!"
Same here. Kid looked like a stud coming out of high school with that leg, just needed some weight on him. Thought he'd be pushing the upperclassmen this year even if he wasn't starting. Wonder what happened.
Nephew of Doninique Wilkins?
we want all the stars
I see him more as a WR3. Not a WR1 or WR2. I like the fact that we are starting out with building out the depth first with players with lesser offer lists rather than swinging for the fences early.
Does that also mean schools can’t run a bait and switch scheme?
that seems just incredibly HUGE for a 14-15 year old . One seriously wonders how his heart & lungs deal with that & what weight they may get to at age 18.
