Kinda snarky there, brother. 😉
This is just year one of NIL. We are just getting started on adjusting to NIL. What if TAMU keeps investing millions into NIL (assuming the rumors are true) and keeps getting #1 classes...and eventually starts winning championships? Unless regulations are put into place every team will need to follow their lead to remain competitive.
I called that a while ago. Jimbo is officially on the hot seat. He has two years to win a NC or he's gone. Who cares about his buyout? They will pay it and move on to the next hot-shot coach.
95 million for a buyout is pretty steep.
What will it be 2-3 years from now? It's the richest team in the country. They'll pay it. Texas schools are crazy.
75 million. I don’t care how crazy they are. That’s way too much money. They may try to negotiate something smaller but if I’m Jimbo I ain’t leaving without every penny of that $95M.
Agreed, but that will be an "Exception" to all things NIL!
I do not believe the $30 MM comment, no way to prove it, so either way it is BS.
Because there is so much pressure to win it all, it could get ****, but I believe it will be other reasons or ways!
yes
Honestly I hope they are stuck with it. Jimbo is not a great head coach. He’s a decent one but not great. I would love to see the drama unfold between him and the boosters. It will be like him at FSU on steroids.
Not only that, there's already grumblings about why players should even bother to play in the national title game when they've locked up top draft spots. You know how they sit out of bowl games now? I bet you'll see it in the title games one day too.
Good and bad is relative. But I'm happy with how my end game turned out.
Speaking of end game... that's what I'm trying to warn you college football anarchists about.
And I bet this league you don’t care to watch will also stand up and take notice of a player who quits on teammates like that.
Wanting free people to profit off of their own name image and likeness is akin to anarchy? Tough crowd comrade.
The NFL has proven over and over that they don't care about character. If you can play, they will pay. Joe Mixon is playing in the Superbowl....they will take anyone.
Well, while we're tossing the hyperbole around.
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting on the NFL and ethics.
