I wonder will there be a cut off on this. Like hopefully no 29 year old can’t circle back because they did a year or 2 in JUCO then went to Fbs.
Pretty sure OU just paid $2 million for Mateer. :francis:

This has to be reigned in. Because dudes will play one yr then go somewhere else. Or they sign, get paid, get injured and then transfer the next yr.

HS recruiting on life support already and you got HS recruits asking to be let out their letters. A certain coach already said why waste time with HS recruits when they’ll leave after year 1. Coaches ain’t about to deal with HS recruiting plus it’s too time consuming. Get them portal players with production and be selective on them HS recruits.

Didnt he just sign with Vernell brown sr? smh, UO invested crazy money and time in this kid for over a year, paid that boy to commit early for like a year, to no visit other places, go across country, keep committed and sign on signing day just to pop like this after? :why:

Dude is talented but this aint Jeremiah Smith, not worth it and he probably a candidate to transfer multiple times at this rate..

Why shouldn’t they be allowed to?

Schools coming together to make rules are illegal. Hence why we have nil and the transfer portal. It’s collusion
Naaa. It’s a handful of schools that want no regulations. The rest don’t want it gettin out of hand.

But that’s what leads me to what I said a couple of years ago when the NIL idea was being floated around. If you put a ‘cap’ or any regulations, do you really think a school that’s been known for breaking the rules (Bama, OSU, Clemson etc) wont just add additional bags under the table?

I don’t know what the answer is.. but I’m positive shyt like that would go down with rules in place.

It’s literally how the NCAA functions. The schools make the rules and the NCAA is the enforcement arm. You say colluding to keep them from getting paid, I can agree with that. Even the courts do. Saying “hey you can’t use NIL as a pay for play or recruiting enticement” then suiting cause you don’t agree after signing off and agreeing with the ruling is stupidity. But the folks making the laws have zero clue how to make a system for this new era. 50 different rules across the US. Mizzou has it where you can get your NIL $ while in HS….as long as you sign to an in-state school. Isn’t that prohibiting someone from maximizing and making an earning in the free market as well?

the schools who dropped bags are still dropping bags. Bags for OV just got bigger and bags for handlers got bigger
