Heisman favorite sitting out rest of the season due to NIL

UNLV is paying $4m for their football coaching staff. $100k for the most important position on the field seems more than fair. Head Coach is making $1.75m and then the staff...

 

Marion is going to get paid 5x that much next year at a bigger school

 

I had a good time arguing with DbD this morning about it on the UGA on3 site.

 

Hugh can fix that

 

Conservatives love their free labor

 

someone bring that dumb fuck back here

 

surprised he didn’t jump last year

 

Used to be a coach at a pretty good football school in STL

Not sure that explains it though

 

Yea I'm good

 

it gets boring sometimes without those dumb assholes here

 

Cover 3 floated a theory that the $100k was conditional, based on if he won the starting job (they took 2 transfer qbs). That makes a lot of sense and may explain why it's not in writing

 

that’s dumb as fuck on his agent’s part

 

Playing devil's advocate, conditional deals aren't allowed and apparently it wasn't a given that he'd get the starting job. A chance at $100k sounds a lot better than the paltry amount he would have been guaranteed. It's just a dirty game

 

New reality for non P4 football teams and non top 25 basketball teams.

You are triple fucked if you don’t have a grad school like my alma mater.

 

#Notre Dame Fighting Irish peep that last name. He goes by his full name now to try and hide.

 

Also, agree that this is the bottom line for the coach/staff. Fucking solve it before he quits and your season is tanked.

 

Gaknight disappeared

Weird how that works

 

I will do this shitty job that pays millions and as massive buyouts

 

This, lol at talking that they are a playoff favorite to come from the G6. Wouldn’t be surprised if they aren’t top 10. CB do you have a chart?

 

Days like today always make it clear who believes that free labor is perfectly acceptable.

 

imo if you're a fully adult professional football coach and you're telling kids they can rely on your verbal promise you are up to some shit.

 

and yes, those same people would absolutely find a way to justify slavery again.

 

I'm kind of offended for CB that you'd even ask if he has a chart. Just ask him to post his chart bc we know he has a chart.

 

to be fair, I made this on the fly as I don't regularly track G6 stuff

 

He’s a busy guy, I didn’t want to assume. But also hoping he’ll put together one of those pretty lookin team specific ones :-)

 

what do you want, a UNLV team sheet like all the P4 ones?

I can do that lol

 

ok but 6 TDs and only 1 pick on a 44% completion rate?

 

FPI projects UNLV at 9.3-3.1

KFord has them 9.5-2.5

 

Would be curious to know how many college teams have someone on staff that are dedicated to navigating the NIL landscape.

Adjacent thought but I'm curious how Woj is going to work as the GM at St. Bonaventure. Familiar with the agent game, connections at the pro level.

 

The assistants aren’t making millions

 

Can I believe the coach lied while also doubting there was some 100% handshake deal for $100k?

 

About to see posters bragging about making Cornell Ford money

 

“Friends of UNILV” is a really funny collective name to me

We’ve had what, two issues amongst thousands of contracts over the past 3-4 years?

 

two that are public

but if you believe sports media, including the Cover 3 crew, some "injuries"/unavailability for games is NIL disputes. Bud said as much today that there are current situations this year that are exactly this. Those programs are just better at keeping their disputes out of the social mediasphere

 

For sure. Injuries have also been a cover for years for academic eligibility issues and sitting out bowl games. I’m actually surprised that there’s really only been two public tiffs with how many poorly run collectives are out there, especially early on.

 

Won't somebody please think of the coaches

 

You can’t use what UNLV is using to pay their coaching staff to “back into” what they can part a QB. They aren’t the same pots of money.

 

Thank you for understanding.

 

There's no rules, because there can't be. Or they'd be going back to court and losing, again.

 

I suppose it's possible that I would take the coach/school side in one of these disagreements, but I haven't seen such a situation yet.
