Getting a 5th year of NIL makes sense, and after watching this game, I understand his decision. There are gonna be games where we need a stop and we won't have his defense, but if he's the 8/9 guy on this team, why waste a year.
Ty Rodgers to take redshirt year
- Status
Just curious…but do you not see how last year’s team vs this year’s team are way different and why we needed him last year to play that role, and why this year’s role might be drastically different?
Your argument that we were a top 10 team doing that last year looks good at surface level, but surely you see a difference in the different situations, yes?
I could see Ty wanting to maximize his NIL, but is he really going to make a lot more money with the redshirt?
2 years of Illinois NIL
Vs.
1 year of Illinois NIL and two years at another program where he might not make as much?
I like Ty but his offensive game is so limited. He can’t shoot. He doesn’t pass particularly well. He doesn’t handle particularly well. Will other programs be beating down his door trying to get him signed?

Better stats than Coleman as a sophomore. Coleman developed (and cashed in) over time.
Completely understandable from Ty's perspective but man this feels like a guy punch.
I have no clue what Ty has made in NIL his first two years and will this year but that 5th year could be a very good payout for a guy that doesn't really project as a pro player(lack of jump shot even limits him overseas).
Maybe the 5th year helps him develop more offensively but either way he is maximizing his career earnings and I wouldn't be surprised to see him end up working as asst coach someday.

Pretty sure it's just that Will Riley and others were going to take all his minutes. He didn't want to burn a year of eligibility playing 10 minutes per game. He'll find some place next year where he'll get starter's minutes. Can't blame him.
Not based on how the team looked tonight. Looked like Ty would be a 10 min per game guy to me.
Some guys here wishing Groce was still our coach
He's still getting paid for this yea and gets an extra year so yeah he will make way more money.
Honestly NIL inflation has been kind of crazy and we're seeing average power conference starters probably making as much or more than Shannon did last year(definitely more than he did two years ago). Coleman supposedly got 2 mil and the new top recruits supposedly have way higher asking prices.
Maybe that 2 million that Coleman got will be the average haul for a power conference guy in 2 years.

It worked for one year in this new NIL portal era. Let's maintain cautious optimism here. This season could easily turn into a worse version of 2022-2023 as well.
Brad did this to him? No loyalty at all?
What do you expect these coaches to do? They're job is to win and it's hard to do that when you don't know if your players are going to be back the next year or not. You have to recruit like nobody will be returning the next year.
It would be nice to start the year with Hawkins, right? Where's he at? Was he loyal? This is the era that we're in. You either adapt or you get fired.
Ty should be required to measure up to those competing for playing time. It doesn't seem as though he measured up well.
Man lol. Pffffffff this is a tough one. I’ll always be a fan, wish he’d come down here to SLU.
A competitor at the D-1 level doesn't go to a big time program like this one to redshirt and sit a year. This wasn't part of the plan. I'm sure he's not happy with the situation he is in
Recruiting the next Matthew Mayer or Jayden Epps or Skyy Clark won't guarantee success. We have a lot of young guys and unless they are all the most unselfish players of all time, there's going to inevitably and naturally be guys who get frustrated with their eventual roles. Veteran teams are more likely to withstand those frustrations than younger teams are
Totally different team/fit.
Michigan State probably will. He would fit well in that program with the pedigree of developing non scorers into all around versatile players
Players are getting paid. This is a job and they should do what is in their best interest to maximize their future. Brad has that same responsibility to the university. It all feels very scummy as it feels like creaning but fans need to rework how they evaluate these decisions now. Will continue to remember Ty fondly for his unwavering commitment while suiting up for the O&B and wish him the best in the future.
Absolutely 100%. Rodgers got Creaned. He got the Crean treatment. Or should I say the BU treatment now. This definitely feels grimey and icky
Yep, redshirt and wait to see where Tim lands for next season and then follow.
Why the hell is NIL being paid here. This should be in every contract going forward.He’s gonna sit out … Collect his NIL … And leave …
This is the kind ofthat is going to start to tick off big donors …
Why should they pay for a kid to sit out and not play and have both feet out the door ???
Look who the opponent was. Reference my post when they play Alabama and then we can talk
Honestly, I've always liked Ty, but this is insanity. He knew full well what he signed up for coming back this year. If playing time wasn't what he wanted, that's solely on Ty Rodgers shoulders. If you can't shoot a jump shot in high level college basketball, you're not going to have a significant role on a high level team. We have to get contracts for these NIL deals and we have to do it yesterday.
